Manager File Error

Mr_Clutch · 08-13-2009, 09:47 PM

When I try to load my fictional league, I keep getting a "Manager file corrupt, cannot load" message. Is there any way of fixing this? I'm hoping there is, because I'm about 45 years into the history :/

I have the same problem. The program loaded fine until today when I got the following error message:

DATABASE::load_database - could not load managers file

The program freezes at that point. All other data files seem to have loaded fine.

Haven't played the game in weeks because of this frustrating problem. Still no answers?

Is there's anybody who knows how to get the game running again? I don't want to start a new one I'm in my 7th season. I have the same problem as the guys with the "cannot load the manager file" from the database. It's starnge because I created a new game and I can load it with no problems...

If this is for OOTP9....you have posted this in the wrong forum.
But from experience it would seem like the file is corrupted....
I can only say to back-up as often as you can.

(The best way I find to back-up is to copy your lg folder of the league to a different location....external being the safest of course)

Apart from the obvious warning about always...always...back-up your important leagues.....

Which version of OOTP are you on?
Which OS?

Ok but there's no way to replace that file with a non-corrupt one?

If this is OOTP9 and you haven't made a back-up.....
I would have to say no.
(OOTP10 has an anti-corruption feature.....but I would still back-up).
The only thing I could suggest is to create a similar league and then copy over the managers file from the new to the old league....(it may work).
About the only advice I can give apart from to chalk down to experience..........
And remember to back up regularly.

I'm sorry it's been so long since anyone has replied to this thread.

Is anyone still experiencing this problem? I'd love to take a look at some league files if anyone has a league in which this is happening...

Thanks,

Steve
