Strange Player Photo Bug

STLKyle · 07-24-2010, 09:40 AM

After installing the latest patch I've noticed that sometimes I will open up one player profile, and then the next one has the previous players photo. And the next one, and so on. All of the sudden EVERY single player has the same photo. Anyone else seen this?

Here is what they did. The photo folder has .jpg pictures now when the game imports the picture it converts them to a .png photo so your old picture is lets say sandy_koufax.jpg now in the images folder it is now playerxxxx_.png. Now if you want to replace that pic because you found a better one you have to go to the player profile in the edit screen and look in the upper left hand corner and then go back to the image folder and search for that player id and rename the new photo and copy and past it to the image folder...What a bad idea. Support told me to go to the player profile and go to the bottom and look for the picture prompt but in historical picture mode and not face gen there is not an import new photo prompt at least mine does not have one

Here is the OOTP 11.2.18 quote

When loading an existing league with 11.2.x for the first time, OOTP converts the player pictures from firstname_lastname.jpg/png to player_x.png. Build #17 will delete the old picture files while converting a league.

Running into this as well. Here is a thread about what is going on:

Thanks, I'm glad to see I didn't just do something wrong somehow!

So now there is another bug...I loaded the game and the correct photos were there. I closed the game reopened later and all the pictures and the same picture. Close and reopen and the pics are back to normal

Yeah, I was a little concerned after I was seeing everyone as Dan Quiz, but a restart of the program fixed it.

Same thing was happening with the team logos but I had to manually get in the folders and fix that one.

Odd.

It is fun having to start and restart the game because this does not happen just once

I had a similar problem and finally decided to uninstall .18 and reinstall .8. I had saved each year-end folder so I went back to the last year/save before I had updated to .18. I haven't had any problems so far. I may have lost a year in my league but it was a disappointing year performance anyway, so I get a chance to do it over again.

Hopefully, this will get fixed in the next patch or sooner, but I didn't want to wait.

I'm on the .17 version and having similar issues with player photos. Except all of mine default to the team logo imiages... except for the .PNG facegen players... for whom the game is still finding the facegen images even though I do have the facegen option unchecked in league settings.

This is an improvment becasue before when I had the league searching for both player photos and the facegen images the game would crash when open a player profile for a player who had the facegen images.
