Earlier versions of OOTP: Technical Support Do you have a copy of OOTP Baseball 2006? Are you in need of help and assistance in running the game or do you have errors that you need help in resolving? This is your place! |

Hey that worked - played about 5 games in a row without issue (where as before I was crashing on 95% of my games) I have tried everything (I thought) including buying a new top of the line computer - and nothing so far has worked. to recap for those who may just be getting here - this is what worked for me: 1. game configuration - disable direct 3d, enable sound 2. in game setup - disable interface sound, enable in-game sound 3. play all games at larger then 1024x768 thanks again to all the guys who helped on this and hopefully this works for others as well. Steve - perhaps you could pass the info along to Markus - maybe this will help him discover and correct the bug in 6.12. |

Has anyone tried it yet with JUST the resolution greater than 1024x768 (without disabling the other stuff)? I can't test mine right now (my computer's in the middle of a defrag that will probably last until the weekend ) - but I'm just wondering if maybe having greater than 1024x768 resolution fixes the problem all on its own. I really don't want to disable the Direct3D and the interface sound if I don't have to - and if resolution is the key, maybe that's all the fix is.
If no one posts back, I'll do some testing of my own when my computer frees up and see what happens. At least we're making progress on this. Many thanks to franco for discovering the missing "resolution" piece! Last edited by hefalumps; 03-10-2005 at 11:49 PM. |

the direct 3d is disabled for ootp only - not for the whole computer- its in the game config.
what does the direct 3d actually do for the game anyway? hefalumps try it - but something tells me its a combo - when using a higher resolution its like running it in windowed mode- it becomes much more stable also be sure to reboot your system after you reset the resolution for some reason it didn't take when I first did it good luck... |

BAH HUMBUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I take back all my happy dancing banana's - as soon as I applied the above solution I was able to play 6 games in a row without crash - and now without changing one single thing - BOOM 4 crashes out of the last 6. It seems as though the changes reduced my crash rate from 90% to 50% better, but still obviously not a long term solution. I give up, I will turn the sound off until a patch is released. worst part is, having the sound back on reminded me how much it really added to the game. |

Giants44,
That is indeed unfortunate news. Has anyone else tried it yet? I haven't had a chance to backup my league and try it... work's been busy. Franco - is it still working okay for you? |

The following fix has seemed to slow/solve my problems
run dxdiag turn the hardware acceleration off for sound1 and sound2 if it is being used. Furthermore I disabled direct3D. |

um...where is game config?
Well so far by just changing the resolution has totally solved my problem. But i still have interface sound turned off. I have not played that many games yet so i'm not totally certain. But for me, when i open up OOTP and play a game i always get a crash without fail. So far since the resolution change I have not. I have not changed direct 3D yet.

[QUOTE=franco74]the direct 3d is disabled for ootp only - not for the whole computer- its in the game config.
what does the direct 3d actually do for the game anyway? Actually it does alot. I do not like the game without it so I chose to keep it. The worst I get now is a crash now and then but only after all game stats are recorded. Good enough for me. I guess the resolution was a big part of the problem. |

Basically what big city said and the logos show through on the lineups to the left. It is a big difference that I notice and I just can't adjust to no 3d. Also.......i warm up pitchers and with 3d turned off......there is no clear line that seperates the 2 pitchers in the warmup slot.......there are more things, i just don't remember them |

It's a shame I haven't read this topic yet.
I played OOTP4 for first time two years ago, I liked it inmediatly but couldn't buy it because I had no credit card, so I just played demos for two years. This tuesday, finally I got a credit card and my first buy was, obviously, OOTP6. Couldn't played until this saturday because of my job. Finally, I can play and decide to start a league with fantasy draft. I pick Toronto and made my team (more than 3 hours). My first game is at Tampa Bay. My pitcher is Esteban Loaiza, they play with Josh Beckett. In the first AB, Beckett gives BB to Suzuki, then got five innings without a hit or BB. He received the first hit in sixth inning, and gives another BB in 7th. Loaiza throw ¡7.1 perfect innings!, then received a couple hits in 8th. End 9th, the game is: TOR 0-1-0 TB 0-2-0 Beckett and Loaiza couldn't pitch anymore. Here come the relievers: Luis Ayala (TOR) and Danny Graves (TB). 3 perfect innings more. Top 13th, an error of Luis Castillo gives me chance for scoring two runs. Bottom 13th, Ayala strikes out first batter, then received a hit and then he gives a BB. Time for calling Mariano Rivera. He gets 2 K's, I won! Click to continue... ¡CRASH! No box score, no statistics, no game... I'm gonna cry... |

Longtime lurker, first-time poster. After 4 years of OOTP bliss I also have been bitten by the dreaded box score degenerate crash -- and unfortunately none of the work-arounds seem to help other than turning the sound off completely. Never really knew how much I enjoyed the sound until it was gone. Now I can actually here my wife voicing from the top of the stairs, "Don't stay up to late playing on the computer." This is a major bug issue for my enjoyment of the game. So I would just like to add my to support a fix for this issue.
OTOH I would like to thank Markus for making a great game that has held my interest for 4 years and just as importantly all those people who have made add-ons, rosters, and other mods to enhance everyone's enjoyment. Unfortunately it's time to go I can hear my wife .... |

Crash, etc.
I have the sound crash problem, too. Admittedly, the sound isn't an essential, but it is terrfic extra, and I miss it. I hope fixing the problem becomes a priority for Ootp 7. I enjoy the game. but I'm more than a little disappointed it wasn't fixed in Ootp 6, and probably won't consider buying 7 until I hear that the sound problem has been corrected.
