Transfering files

cardinalfan3000 · 12-25-2019, 04:21 PM

I just got a new computer and I'm trying to transfer my saves to one computer to another computer. However I've been unable to get the transferred files to be playable on my new computer. I was wondering if I could get some assistance

What do you mean when you say not playable?

Details please - what have you done and what is happening?

Did you copy the .lg folder from the saved games folder on the old computer to the exact same location on the new computer?

If so, did you select "Load Saved Game" when starting OOTP on the new computer and select that .lg folder?

If so, what happens? Do you get an error message? What does it say?

The more info you can provide, the easier it will be to help.

Copy your .lg folder from the old computer saved games folder to the new computer saved games folder.

Start OOTP, choose "Load Game" - your league should appear as a choice.

Well it did something. I did what you said and now it's installing some stuff

cardinalfan3000 · 12-25-2019, 09:37 PM

Okay I'm copying the file now

Bluenoser · 12-26-2019, 07:53 AM

Did you manage to get everything sorted?

cardinalfan3000 · 12-26-2019, 11:49 AM

Not quite I'm haviing issues uploading the folder to dropbox

cardinalfan3000 · 12-26-2019, 03:14 PM

This file is huge and i haven't been able to upload it

WIUPIKE · 12-26-2019, 03:56 PM

you could move the .dat folders in your save only which should be limited. The thing you wont have would be any custom logos or stadiums but will have the heart of the league.

cardinalfan3000 · 12-26-2019, 04:02 PM

It's uploading now, once the save photos are uploaded I'll upload the folder you mention.

Bluenoser · 12-26-2019, 04:53 PM

Did you zip/compress the file before uploading?

cardinalfan3000 · 12-26-2019, 06:03 PM

I did not

cardinalfan3000 · 12-26-2019, 06:04 PM

That'll probably be a good idea

cardinalfan3000 · 12-26-2019, 09:24 PM

Does it matter if I email it or not?

cardinalfan3000 · 12-27-2019, 01:55 PM

So i downloaded it and copied it to where my ootp game is and no dice

cardinalfan3000 · 12-27-2019, 05:18 PM

Can anyone help me?

It does not go where the game is installed. It goes in the documents folder:

documents/OOTP baseball 20/saved_games/YOURLEAGUE.lg(your dat files should be in this folder)

cardinalfan3000 · 12-28-2019, 05:35 PM

I extracted stuff there and i still haven't been able to access my saves
