Exclamation IMPORTANT: Info about the public beta release today!

OK guys, later today (noon / afternoon ET) we will release the Final Beta of OOTP 21 to the friendly folks who have pre-ordered. In order for things to go smoothly, please read on.

1) Locate your serial number, you will need it today. You can find it in the confirmation email of your purchase in the Fastspring webstore. The serial number looks like this: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

If you cannot find the confirmation email, no problem. Fastspring/QLM has an after-purchase-support page, where you can find all your orders and receipts online. Please open the after-sales-support page here. There is a button that emails you your serial number.

2) We will send you an email to the email account you used for ordering once the game is ready to go (probably in the afternoon ET). The email will include the link to the setup files (one each for PC & Mac). You should, to be sure, check your spam folders too when looking for the email. Also, if you unsubscribed our newsletter in the past couple of years, you will not receive an email because you are blocked from our list. If that is the case, please check this forum, we will have a sticky post containing the links.

3) After you have downloaded and installed the game (if you may get a Windows Defender warning when running the installer, click the "More Info" link and then the button to run the app anyway), the main screen will have the buttons "Purchase" and "Enter License Key" enabled. Click on the latter button, and then enter your license key into the box which comes up. You can use copy & paste, pasting on the PC works by hitting CTRL + V, on the Mac it's Cmd(Apple) + V. Again, the serial looks like this: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX ... the complete string is needed! Make sure you have no white spaces at the beginning or end.

4) It may take a few tries to activate the game, the servers will probably be rather busy. Unfortunately, this is out of our control, so you may have to be a bit patient. If you are having consistent trouble, please try disabling your firewall / virus scanner for the activation process.

5) If you still have problems activating the game, please read the following article in our knowledge base: Activation Problems - Help Desk

6) Please do not post bugs on this general forum! Post bug reports here: OOTP 21 Bug Reports and follow the bug reporting guidelines! Bugs related to Perfect Team go to the PT 21 bug report forum.

Alright, that's it I guess. We will monitor the forums over the week and fix all bugs that get properly reported to our support team. On Wednesday & possibly Thursday we'll release a beta patch. Then on Friday we will release the final game (including bug fixes) to the masses.

We are very proud of OOTP 21, and we hope it will give you some joy in these tough times. Stay safe and have fun!

Cheers!
Markus

Perfect Team Question

If I log into Perfect Team during the Beta, will I be wasting my gold packs that I am to receive upon login? Or do these gold packs only become available upon full release of the game on Friday?

Can I transfer my current single saved game from ootp 20 into this ootp 21 beta release? If so, will I be able to then load the saved game into the official ootp 21 on Friday? With no lost data, no problems, etc.

EDIT: I got my answer from this link: https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=311365

It seems that what I asked can be done, but a good portion/most people don't recommend bringing a saved game into the beta version. Of course, I could always make a copy of my current saved game, but I can wait 3 more days. 2 bottles of NyQuil should keep me passed out until about 12pm on Friday, right?

If you ordered but didn't get an email, it's likely that it got lost in your spam filters somewhere.

If you don't have a mail with the download links, send me an email or a PM with your order number (if you have it) and/or your email address, and I'll try to look up your order and get you your serial number.

Honestly I recommend Waiting till after release but I don't always followed my own recommendation, it always helps to play around with new features before playing with your own solo save so you know how they work.

Unable to Activate OOTP Baseball 21 Linux Version

I've purchased OOTP 21 and am unable to activate it on Linux, specifically Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I've noticed that my license key appears to be for "Out of the Park Baseball 21 [PC & Mac]", but my impression was that it would be usable for Linux as well. Is that not the case? If it isn't the case, would it be possible for me to get a license key that will work on Linux as well?


Note that I've tried both the offline activation and the tool that allowed me to generate a license key; neither worked.


Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

You can use the links posted in the other thread: https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=311486

Sometimes the email from us could get trapped in a spam filter or not reach you for another reason.

Activation issues.

I have read the above post through and through and still cannot activate my game. The Help Desk has not been updated for 21 yet and that is not to be expected, however, I am trying to figure out why I cannot activate my game and the same steps as above are the same detailed on the help desk.

All the hyperlinks in the helpdesk do not work either, they take you to a webpage that does not work. I am excited to play 21 as I started on 20 and played countless hours. I appreciate your hard work but I would like to be able to play early as this is the reason I preordered.

What happens when you try to activate the game? Send me an email or PM and I'll help.

The linux license is a different purchase. What we'll have to do is issue you a refund and then you can buy the Linux copy of the game. Send me a PM or email with your purchase details and I'll take care of it.
