Database error

HipolitoPichardo · 08-26-2013, 03:04 PM

Hi everyone, hoping someone might know the solution to a problem a couple of new GMs in my historical online league are experiencing.

To get them set up, I sent both of them the latest league file, along with the accountsgms.dat file for the settings folder, but after extracting the league file and trying to load it within OOTP, both GMs are given an error message that reads: "An error occurred while loading the database! Could not load names file."

A screenshot of this error is below. I thought I might have to provide names.dat file separately, but that didn't appear to work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Check and make sure when they unzipped that there wasn't a lg folder inside the lg folder.

This happens often with zipped files. It creates a second folder.
