Season will not load

rink23 · 10-29-2018, 06:15 PM

Was attempting to play my Cardinals dynasty today, I'm in the 2022 season, season loaded but cycling through various windows it was quite sluggish.
So, I closed the game and noticed the entire computer was having issues, leading to a restart.
A few hours later, I started OOTP and the continued game option -- which is where I start from -- was not available.
There also were no options in the load game section -- even though there are four seasons in the saved seasons folder.

The first thing to try would be to see if you can restore from your league's autosave.

1) Open the game and on the start screen, click on Settings (or Preferences in OOTP 11-14).

2) Now click on the tab "Troubleshooting".

3) Click "Open folder containing saved games".

4) Now open up the league folder you're wanting to restore.

5) Then select all of the .dat files in the folder and back them up (just in case) by copying them to a temporary folder or creating a zipped file with them

6) Open the folder called "auto-save".

7) In there, select all of the ".dat" files and copy them to the league folder (the parent of the current folder) overwriting all of the ".dat" files in the league folder.

8) Now start the game and load your league. Let me know what happens.

Gave that a shot. Didn't work or I messed it up, probably the latter.
Saved the game (season/file) and re-purchased it, $10 it's cheap for all the time I have played it.

Purchased in download format from web site -- do not have old license and it already is on two computers -- but never received/could find a new license.

Send me a PM or email with the email address you used to purchase the game and I'll get you the license.
