Constantly installing every launch
To put it short, OOTP 19 keeps installing game files (face gen, in game text, etc.) EVERY time I start the game. Plays fine when it’s done, but it’s 15 minutes of ridiculous waiting.
I found someone else with this unsolved problem on this sub forum. Their problem was with OOTP 18 and they barely got one reply that didn’t solve it. I checked my hard drive, which is barely from 2018 by the way, and it’s health is fine. I also uninstalled and reinstalled completely and it still does this... I love this game but I don’t even want to play it anymore because of the waiting. |

Hey WoofyWolf,
Yeah, that's not supposed to be happening. From what you've described it sounds like the game can't verify the integrity of the Database folders in the C drive location and is constantly in a state of installing itself. Kinda like steam has an update each and every time you start the game. If you'd like I'd love to have you submit a ticket for me and Lukas to run over. That would allow us to directly communicate and more speedily answer questions. You can submit a ticket at the link here Otherwise, I'd love to get some info about your game real fast. What OS are you running on? Did you buy the game through Steam/Origin/AppStore or directly from the OOTP Website? Have you updated your game to the latest update, should be 19.13 Build 132? Since it seems like a database location issue have you tried changing the database location to directly at the root of the C drive to see if that clears up the issue? Let me know about the couple of questions above and if you do submit a ticket I'll be sure to jump on that with Lukas and figure out options for you. Thanks Alex |

I'm running on Windows 10 I bought this game through steam. Yes I've updated to the recent build through steam. I'm not sure how I'd change the database location but I hope that would fix it. Is that something I can do in the game settings or is that done manually in file explorer? Thanks a ton. Been playing for years and don't want to stop. Appreciate it! |

Was this ever solved? I'm having the same problem. Not every time but I'd say every 3rd or 4th time I open the game, Steam goes through the entire process of downloading and installing. My internet connection is slow (I live in a rural area) and this takes 2+ hours sometimes. It also then corrupts my save files, claiming they are from a previous version of the game. If I do not restore from backups, I lose files entirely. I currently have two main games going, 1 is on it's 6th restore, the other it's 3rd (will be 4th when I get into it later tonight). It's kinda killing the game for me at this point.
I'm running it on Windows 10 Latest version available from Steam |
