Issues with Windows 7 64 bit ???

MightyQuinn · 07-31-2011, 05:00 PM

Does anyone know if there are issues with OOTP12 with Windows 7 64 bit ??? I recently upgrade to a decent high end gaming computer and seem to have issues with OOTP12, OOTPX & OOTP11 are on my previous computer still...

I have been in numberous OOTPX & OOTP11 leagues and but 2 of the leagues that moved to ootp12 I have been having issues getting files and extracting them.

I have been using 7 zip. The league files I have been getting have been tar.gz, but when I extract using 7 zip, it takes it to just a .tar file, then I have to extract again to get the files, never had this issue before...

You probably need to turn the UAC off.

It works fine for me.

MightyQuinn, I'm not a member of the support team but my advice would be that you might want to try using WinZip to extract the league files. I don't know hardly anything about 7Zip as I always use WinZip but if you have to do a double extraction perhaps 7Zip might be somehow someway corrupting the league files. WinZip will extract a tar.gz file. If you need instructions how to get WinZip to extract a tar.gz file let me know and I'll post them.

MightyQuinn, this may sound like a dumb question, but is there any way for you to try transferring your league/s to your new computer directly instead of packing them in a file that will need to be extracted? Possibly try a flash or external HDD? Just an idea.

That's actually how 7zip is supposed to work, since a .tar.gz file is a double container.

A .tar file is just an uncompressed archive file, and a .tar.gz file is a .tar file that has been compressed using gzip. Two different operations, so 7zip treats them as such.
