Can't access saved game

jss21 · 04-08-2021, 11:31 AM

Hello,
I can't seem to access a saved game I have been playing on OOTP 21. When I try to load it, a screen appears that says, "OOTP cannot load this database because it has been created with an earlier version of OOTP. Please us the button 'Import OOTP 20' to import the database." I then click "OK" and another screen pops up that says, "The loading of the database failed. It is either corrupt or a save-game from an old version."

Is this a common error and do you know what I could do to fix it?

Thanks,
Joel

You may already have done this so apologies in advance if this is redundant.

You must know the path to the v20 file you wish to import.
Start OOTP 21. When the opening screen appears, click Import.
Navigate to the v20 file, find world.dat file
Click to import

Let me clarify: I am not trying to import a game from OOTP 20. I started a game on OOTP 21 but it is saying the things I posted above when I try to access the saved game.

Try re-importing the v20 game with a different filename of course.
