Problem Joining League

pm129 · 01-25-2014, 05:54 AM

Hi all,

I've been trying again this morning, downloading the save file for the league I'm trying to join .So far, I have extracted the save file to a folder in my saved games directory. However, when I load up OOTP14, I can't see it in my Load Game list. I seem to have all the .dat files i have in my existing saved games, but the only folders I have are for replays, news and messages. I don't seem to have the settings folder required for the Gms dat file I need to download.

Not sure what's going wrong, as I seem to be the only person ever to have this problem!

Does your League folder in the save game folder have .lg at the end?

Your Leagues save game folder must have that suffix to be recognized by the game

the name of the folder should be something like this

My_Baseball_League.lg

Also if your save game folder doesn't have the settings folder in it , the first time you open the league it should create the folder, if it doesn't you need do nothing more than create is yourself and place the accountsdata_gms file into it

Looks like Painmantle answered everything pretty clearly. Just wanted to say that you definitely are not the only person this has ever happened to. Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.

these may help some if you add the visual to the explanation already given. I have not yet made one for this exact issue, but it's on the list.
