From the OOTP start screen or the File menu click Settings > Go to the Troubleshooting tab > click the button that says "Open folder containing saved games"

i did not know about this. thanks for the save.

Michael T · 03-13-2021, 08:13 AM

That takes me to the same folder which is still empty?

Michael T · 03-13-2021, 08:14 AM

The game I saved is at the end of spring training but haven't yet played the first regular season game. Would that have anything to do with it?

Guess not. What's the trick to posting a pic directly from your computer. It shows up in my reply to thread but when I post it nothing shows up.

Michael T · 03-17-2021, 08:16 PM

Also says I'm not backing up the file when I am every time I quit?

Wow, cant even quote you on that post because you are trying to attach the pictures really strange... EDIT OH I see you tried using "insert image" That wont work.

When you click on reply you are in quick post mode. click on GO ADVANCED. Its right below your box you type your post in.

Scroll down just a little bit and you will see ADDITIONAL OPTIONS

Click on MANAGE ATTACHMENTS that will open a popup screen where you can attach pictures. Click on Choose File, find your file, then once you have that done and it says the name of your picture and not No File Chosen, then click on UPLOAD just to the right of the three Choose File buttons. Then your picture will be attached to your post. This is not HTML so you cant use {IMG} ect.

Michael T · 03-20-2021, 07:37 AM

O.k. I'll try that.

Michael T · 03-20-2021, 07:38 AM

Thanks. Does that help anybody figure out what's going on?

That is saving the file as it exits. Backing up is done in-game and to the backup folder. Different locations/actions.

twins_34 · 03-20-2021, 07:46 PM

Devil Rays.lg IS your saved game.

twins_34 · 03-20-2021, 07:52 PM

All the games you make they make these folders and in these folders are the games.

When you open OOTP and click on LOAD GAME It should show a list. Yours should say a blank because that .lg has no name and the other should say Devil Rays.

Michael T · 03-21-2021, 07:44 AM

It looks like all your folders are empty as well?

Michael T · 03-21-2021, 07:49 AM

My Devils Ray.lg file is empty and it looks like your files are empty also?

Michael T · 03-21-2021, 07:51 AM

"Backing up is done in-game and to the backup folder. Different locations/actions."

That folder is empty as well.

How did you come to the conclusion that his folders are empty without actually being able to click on them and open them?

Have you opened the game and tried to Load a game? If the game does not show up, that would be an indication that the game cannot find your save file.

What exactly are you trying to do with these folders?
