OOTP 16 Patch #7, Version 16.7.33 Available!

Markus Heinsohn · 07-24-2015, 04:40 AM

Update 7/25: Looks like this patch introduces a crash bug in very early historical leagues (1870's). We will release a new patch that will fix this on Tuesday. If you do not play very early historical leagues, don't worry and keep playing

Important: This update is only for OOTP 16 versions which were purchased directly from us or resellers who use our version.
It is NOT compatible with the Steam or Mac OSX AppStore version! The Steam update will be available Monday (7/27) via the Steam client and the Mac AppStore version is pending review at Apple, which will take some more days.

Hey guys,

We have just released the 7th update for OOTP 16, version number 16.7.33. It is a maintenance update and fixes reported bugs.

Update Info: To apply the update, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. Patches always contain all the changes from previous patches / updates. Saved games are compatible between different versions.

Main server: PC Installer

Download link for Mac:
Main Server: Mac OS X Installer

Main Server: Linux Installer

Here are the improvements / fixes compared to version 16.6.30:
- Added option to force DH in All-Star game
- Modified All-Star player in-game usage
- Fixed disabling player popups not sticking in options
- Fixed incorrectly notifying to activate a player during off-season while not on DL
- Fixed incorrect stats in team leaderboards
- Fixed incorrect wildcard calculations when division leaders tied
- Fixed duplicate field in team_history_financials export
- Fixed case where "strict" rotation mode would still skip starters on occasion
- Fixed case where locked positions persisted after manager "takes control" of them
- Added ability to remove players from specific shortlists
- Improved offseason processing time
- Fixed several minor bugs + text issues

Final thoughts
This update wraps it up. Unless something major comes up, it will be the last update to OOTP 16. We are now shifting to development of OOTP 17.

Cheers!
Markus

And a new addition to a maintenance patch, nice. Thanks Markus.

With this patch you can now disable the 40-man roster but still enable the expanded roster. Thanks ...

bwburke94 · 07-24-2015, 06:37 AM

Was there any update to the major league roster set?

Ross333 · 07-24-2015, 06:44 AM

Thank you for the update. Do you recommend finishing the season before doing the update, or updating during the season?

Yup, minor league rosters are now as they were supposed to be, with players on the minor league DL.

You could teach an industry seminar for software developers on how to do what you do. It is really exceptional. Thanks!

All the time? Sometimes? Some teams? I'm definitely getting that warning in my game, and as far as I remember, we haven't touched that at all recently.

Matt, playing same way I have for years - Commissioner mode

I am never getting that message now. You have my quickstart - if you sim a few weeks do you get message with my league?
