Imported league from 11
before you say it was a bad import i've done it excatly 30 times now and found the same problem, also submitted a support ticket to
i go and try to change a teams city and it will show as seattle, Monti cristi
for some odd reason i can import a new game find seattle right then quit and reload my league and its back in Monti Cristi
It never did this in 11 least i don't think
any advice would be great as i don't want to lose my league to this

Trying to help without game in front of me...

So when you go into that team's options/ballpark screen and in the box above where it says what city they are playing in.

If you type in "seattle" and hit enter

Below that box there should be a drop down menu with every "seattle" in ootp 12. So for example I did this for Springfield and I had a drop down with Springfield, Mo... IL, MA etc

[OutS|der]

exactly yet when i do that it shows Seattle, Monti Cristi
it keeps the city names but its changing the states the city is in
plus the weirdest part is i can't always recreate it the same way and it only appears to affect one country at a time
for example only Canada will be messed up or only Iceland
it's pissing me off cause I'll do all i can to recreate it so i don't have to scrap my league at a later date if i find it yet i can't always recreate it so I'll be happy for awhile then boom Seattle moves

I'd suggest a full reinstall with the latest patch.

[OutS|der]

that is the next step....doing so now

[OutS|der]

full reinstall didn't work
support ticket wouldn't take my world.dat file so will post one without
so i'm stuck, if i wanted a fictional game i would of started one so i can't play now
was trying to import cubbyfans 2010 roster set into 12 if that helps anyone, i'd try the default database but that has a history problem that i can't get my support ticket answered to so i can't use that ethier
so i don't know what to do

[coljesep]

Is it only Seattle that is messed up?

[OutS|der]

no not just them, they were the example
it could be every state in america for one game, the next every province in canada is messed but america is fine
it seems to be afecting random countries
this time its cuba, i've tried it 3 times since i've started this convo and its been 3 new countries
the best is when its a country i don't know, good luck spoting the mistake then.... damn geography teacher

[OutS|der]

anybody seen anything like this before?
i'd like somehow to keep the league so anything would help

[Goldberg365]

I had this issue with my league, different country but the same problem. The way I fixed it was deleting the league completely and then re-importing it. I had to try it 3 times, but eventually it got all of the state names correct.

[OutS|der]

i've tried it over 30 times now and its not always the states that are messed, sometimes its the canadian provinces to
so right now i can't play
very fustrating

It sounds to me like your saying it imports fine and all is ok, but afterwards it changes the cities.....if so, try this...import your lg. then immediately go to game setup then click "options" and uncheck "enable automatic evolution of the league" see if that helps...This issue popped up during beta for some and not for others..Personally mine imported perfectly.
AS far as uploading your dat files...they should upload fine, but you need to zip them up first. and in your report state the name of your zipped dat files exactly as you named it..Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but If I come across any other solutions, I'll let you know..good luck.
Just in case you haven't read this post:

There's a link in it that explains exactly how to ftp the league dat files.

[Sweed]

Read this thread http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...my-leauge.html

Markus had been unable to reproduce it in testing but deleting and doing a new import seems to have fixed it for most users.

Just grasping at straws here but if reinstall doesn't do it maybe try disconnecting your internet, turn off anti-virus, and anything else that may be running in the background before importing.

Another idea, reboot your machine and try the import with a "fresh" start.

Do send your files in maybe since yours seems to repeat it will help Markus find the cause.

[Bigrod]

Thanks for piping in Sweed.I couldn't find that post...One more thought though. Did you reinstall with the full install version or the update version of the latest patch...Makes a difference. I ask because the cities nations, etc. is in a new format now..it's called world.xml If I recall correctly..so if that file is what is causing the problem and you installed the update only patch, it wouldn't update the world.xml I don't think. Personally, I would do a complete uninstall and then install the full version patch not the update as this should ensure that all files are current..
Finally, if that doesn't solve the problem and you can't ftp your dat files...pm me and I'll give you my email and you can send them to me and I'll test it..

[OutS|der]

did an install and reinstall with the new patched version
did the same with the first version to ... same results
I'll be FTPing the league files later today but I'm starting to get the feeling it may just be my league as I'm not able to reproduce it without other leagues
was getting weird draft classes when trying to use historical rookies as well kinda clued me in to double check my league and thats when i noticed the name changing
evolution is off, haven't move ahead a day in any case so nothing to evolve to.

guess Cubbyfans 2010 roster set was incomplete for a reason as this is the league roster set I'm trying to import

will update more after i send in league files

[OutS|der]

just reproduced this error with a whole new imported fictional league
This time used the Fictional Fast-Sim Quick start with 200+ years of history from darkcloud4579 and Toronto is now based in Antofagasta.
is that even a real place?
on first look import looks fine, Toronto is in Ontario, all looks as it should but when i load a new league or quit and reload this league again Toronto or somewhere else moves
at that point all Canadian provinces are wrong, call cities are correct but the provinces are wrong
I've done about 4 imports with always find the problem at some point
it happens not on initial import but when reloading though i haven't really simmed and then gone looking
I've tried downloading and reinstalling 11 and 12
I've done the same to all fictional quickstarts or rosters that i imported
I've done multiple imports and reloads

I've only done these 2 user created rosters cause i haven't really had the time and got bored of testing after awhile.
will try more though out the week, All-Timers roster and a few others.
has anyone else had this problem with imported leagues even after reloading?

[OutS|der]

mlb quickstart from 11 just did it after import and reload of the league

[OutS|der]

So still no solution to this problem, every league I’ve imported into 12 has had this problem
The lack of response from people is disappointing i would have expected more people would have experienced this problem
I’m hoping something will be done by the patch cause as of right now 12 has no appeal to me, no point in really playing the MLB quick start for this year as it's still being refined, and giving up everything i put into my old league is a nonstarter to me so i really hope this issue can be fixed.
I understand they devs are swamped and have to deal with more pressing issues from the people who have complained louder than i have, so i put a request from the community to post here if you had this issue and if you have resolved it. The more people who reply the more effort is put into fixing it, it's why the ones cry the game is broken over a little bug, it gets results
It can't be just me having this issue

[Questdog]

The lack of response is not because we don't care. The lack of response is because there aren't others in the same boat and those of us who wish to help can't think of any reason why it won't work for you if you've followed the advice already given.

I'd try a FULL uninstall. After you unistall via the control panel, go to your Documents folder and check in the Out of the Park Developments folder and make sure there is no OOTP12 folder. If there is (because you have custom pictures, etc), rename that folder to something else. Then check your Programs (x86) folder, again in the Out of the Park developments folder and make sure there is no OOTP12 folder.

Then do a full install with a new copy of OOTP12 freshly downloaded.

There is no reason this should not work. I am not having any of the problems you describe (though this was an issue in the initial release).

Hope this helps.

[CBL-Commish]

I have the same issue. Imported my 40-league universe from OOTP11, and my Canadian cities are messed up. The Continental League has both US and Canadian cities, and Calgary, Whitehorse, and Winnipeg all have wacky state/country affiliations (middle eastern, asian places). All the US cities are fine.

I'm at work, but when I get home I'll check to see if this is happening in any of the other leagues in my universe.

Possible things to look at: The CBL is a inter-country league, maybe this is part of the root cause. Also, I had modified the old cities and countries files in prior version(s) of OOTP to add some smaller places.
