Public Beta Patch (Version 21.2.37) Available! (Updated 03/29)
Update 03/29: We have updated the public beta to build 37. Please give it a ride if you like. Build 37 contains a few minor bug fixes.
Important: This patch is only for OOTP 21 versions which were purchased directly from us or resellers who use our version. It is also available via the Steam client with the public password below. It is NOT compatible with the Mac OSX AppStore version! Hi! We have been working more on the game recently and are nearing another official patch release. So, here's the public beta of it, version 21.2.37. If this works fine we'll release it officially on Monday. Have a nice weekend Note: This version is NOT compatible with previous builds in online leagues. If you are in an online league, do not use this public beta. The final release will also be incompatible with exports from previous versions, so if you are an online league commish please consider this an advance warning. All members of online leagues should update on Monday. We have tested this build for 24 hours and did not find any issues, however use this at your own risk! Please back up important league files before loading them in this beta. Changelist (21.2.37): - Improved 2020 MLB & international rosters sets & added more international schedules (need to create new game for changes to apply) - Added easier way to manage minor league games - Improved in-game notification for injuries - Fixed missing coaches on importing large OOTP20 files. Fixed minor league contracts with major option changing to minor league deals on import. - Fixed AI signing suspended players - Fixed HS choice for created players - Fixed tournament job offers immediately expiring - Fixed JuCo players entering college as freshmen - Fixed player strategy import/export for bench when fatigue % - Adjusted draft player demands - HS players will continue to college even if they cannot find a school in the DB - PT: fixed/relaxed criteria for when players can play other positions - Several other bug fixes How to access the beta on Steam:
Download link for PC Beta (Fastspring Webstore Version): Main server: PC Installer Here's a PC installer (Fastspring) that installs into a single folder, which is useful for external HDs for example. Or for creating a second test install of the game, so you can try the patch out without the risk of messing up your main install of the game if something is wrong in the patch: PC Single Folder Installer Download link for Mac (FastSpring): Main Server: Mac OSX Installer Download link for Linux: http://cdnfiles.ootpdevelopments.com...21linux.tar.gz Please post here if you have any issues or if you run into major bugs. Thanks! Cheers, Markus & the entire OOTP Team

Do note for online leagues, this build is not compatible for either the commish OR other online users - if you update to this in an online league, your exports will fail. Please take care when updating - most of you know the process, but you will need to process all the imports, then update your game to the new version, and then make sure users download the new version before proceeding.

Online League Concerns
What about automatic Steam users...won't that screw up an online league? And what about online leagues that already started and then joining a new one with the patch ? How do we manage that ? Can I have two versions of the game somehow ?

*edit, to add, I guess on Steam during the public beta, it is possible to run both versions. Basically, you can opt in and opt out of the beta versions, and Steam will download the correct files, so for this weekend, you could opt into the beta, do what you need on the new version and then opt out of the beta to return to the last public release. However this won't be possible once the full version is released. Last edited by Matt Arnold; 03-27-2020 at 10:19 AM. |

Seeing that this build has improved 2020 MLB & international rosters sets, if I have a league already in progress using the roster sets from build 33, will this build affect the rosters in that league in progress? Meaning, is it intended to?
Also: the link above for PC Beta appears to be Fastspring only and I have a PC Single Folder installation. Can I still download from the link above to update my current install, or is it going to start over with a fresh install and blow out my current games?

No. Any roster changes always require starting a new game.

Means We are Screwed
How can OOTP screw Online league players like this ? Once we start an online league and are in progress how can you put up a patch that is not compatible to what we started and/or want to join a new online league which puts us in jeopardy! Unbelievalble!!
edit: I apoligize, I misunderstood the patch announcements, most patches for online leagues have always been compatible I had thought Last edited by strzepeksc; 03-28-2020 at 11:14 AM. Reason: misunderstanding |

The game crashes if "LIVE START (MLB games only)" is checked when starting a new game.
Given there are no actual live games to pull and the schedule says there should be...it's probably related to that. No crash if Live Start is unchecked. I almost didn't even report this, but thought you may want to know just in case. |

You must have misunderstood. Of course you will be able to continue, however, both the commish and all members must update on Monday, team exports from prior versions will not import. That's all

So you would rather they not fix or improve the game.? I mean come on. Markus and the rest of OOTP Dev have been providing us with a quality product for over 2 decades. They have earned our trust by now, or should have in your case. This happens every year at least once it seems like. Is it that hard to get your guys to all update to the same patch? There's more important things in life right now that worrying about some online league and blowing up like it will be broken forever and it's all a big conspiracy by OOTP Dev

I think this is related to the patch as this wasn't happening before I updated it?... After the draft, the box in the bottom left has player info re draft status for players already in the league.. instead of their health status
I posted in the bug repot forum too - I'm still having issues in the draft pool with college and HS players having multiple stat lines for the same year |

Another issue I'm having is my foreign leagues are drafting players based on US colleges/ high schools rather than from their country. And as I said in the previous post, there are multiple stat lines for many of the college/ HS prospects. I posted a few screenshots below. Sorry to hijack this thread... thanks for taking a look.

OK, we have updated the beta to the build number ( 21.2.37) which will release officially on Monday! It features a few minor bug fixes compared to Friday's build 21.2.35. If you opted into the Steam beta, you will get the update automactically.

Just downloaded today's update and when I create a new fictional league there are no players in the inaugural draft pool. I've tried creating 3 different leagues and it's the same thing each time.

Any chance you all will be updating the Astros' Roster to "Disliked" and moving their Controversy setting to max?
