Dat files erased

andyctree · 11-25-2005, 09:51 AM

At the end of the season my computer crashed which resulted in the DAT files being erased. Is there anyway to restore my league by using the almanac files that are still intact? Or am I screwed?

Thanks for the help

Did the game cause the crash?

You say that the DAT files are "erased". So does that mean that the rest of the contents of the league file are still there?

In any case, if you didn't backup your entire league file, I'm afraid it's toast.

I recommend you backup your league file after each sim. Don't use the game's backup feature. Instead, manually copy and paste the league file to another place on your hard drive, preferrably the D drive(if your main drive is C). This will keep it safe from viruses as viruses can't jump partitions.
