Should I be concerned enough not to do this? I'm backing up to the main HDD.

OK well that might explain why I haven't seen it. I have a league I was playing in OOTP13 that I want to import into 14, but from your issue and someone else's issue with splits not adding up to the total stats, I'm a little nervous. Bugs like that are tricky, because a lot of people could be experiencing it, but if they're not digging into the stats, they might not even notice it.

I do recommend reading this, though How to Maximize the Life of Your SSD because I didn't and paid the price.

I just installed the patch on Linux and now OOTP is not working. I get the following error when starting OOTP from the command line:
jason@jason-linux-desktop ~/OOTP/ootp14 $ ./ootp14.sh X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext) Serial number of failed request: 1987 Current serial number in output stream: 1988 Any insight? |

OOTP is writing data frequently, but there are other apps which do the same. And just because OOTP does a lot with files, it runs so well on SSDs. I had two identical SSDs in my computer. Purchased and built-in on the same days. One for my Windows system and the programs, the other one for the project files and OOTP data files when testing. The SSD with the Windows system on it broke first, the other one containing the OOTP stuff is still running. |

Can anybody watch replays? I applied the update today, so I'm at the current version on PC
I tried and I get a minimalistic screen and when things keep repeating when I hit 'continue' . The intro will play twice, each at bat plays twice. It does the same with older replays too. I don't watch replays often so I'm not sure if this is a new problem or if it has been an issue for awhile. |

I have an Apple iMac that I bought last winter. It runs OS X 10.8.4. I just downloaded OOTP version 14.5.28. Like version 14.4.23, I have no Facegen. So I went back to 14.3.12 and have Facegen again.

My SSD has a 3yr warranty so we'll have to see.

Details: I am running three disparate games on my computer: A modern quickstart (started in 2013 now in 2014) An historical replay (started in 1977, now in 1980) An historical replay (1901, in frist year) When I go into each team, in whichever league, I am able to set the logo and uniforms to the correct files. Whenever I play by MODERN league and then go back to the historical ones, any teams that were loaded when I played the modern game have switched to the modern logo and uniforms. So, in the '77 start, I have corrent unis for the California Angels, because they don't appear in the modern game, but teams like the Blue Jays revert to the modern unis. This happens in the '01 start, but there are more teams that don't match. The Brooklyn Superbas have the period unis but the Milwaukee Brewers do not. While this is clearly not a deal-breaker for me, I woudl love it if it were fixed. |

There's a couple of things you can do if it's a real concern though: - Most drive software will have a setting for max reliability (I know the Samsung ones do). Set that to keep your league as safe as possible. - Overprovision the drive to keep unused space reserved for when the drive starts to wear out. This will decrease your drive's max capacity by about 10% though but it's well worth it. SSDs already reserve some that you don't even see but more is better. It will also be faster in general. - If you're really concerned, use an SSD as a boot drive and keep your OOTP leagues on a 2nd mechanical drive. That's what I do and I still get a huge speed increase over running it on a mechanical boot drive. You still want to backup your leagues to another external drive of course very often! I have a Samsung drive and they include software that monitors the life of the SSD so you have a pretty good idea of when the drive is starting to wear down. That's something that mechanical drives don't really have. |

Guys, many good points about SSDs. I got an early model and wore it out, but by following all the suggestions and having backups and a warranty you should be fine using one.
I was a pioneer, and got what pioneers usually get: an arrow to the knee.

So you say OOTP was all you had on that SSD, and since the SSD is now broken, OOTP must have caused it?
