My league is corrupted after a computer restart

Dullard · 10-01-2016, 01:56 AM

Windows 10 was forcing me to do a restart and wasn't allowing me to reschedule, so in the midst of playing I was forced to quit OOTB in order to do the restart. I first saved my league file and then when I closed the window to the game it did it's annoying auto-save. Anyway, I thought all was normal. I let the computer reset and for some reason because I have updates set to stopped in windows services it didn't do the update. Unfortunately, it still requires me to set up another appointment for a schedule update(and doesn't let me reschedule to my choosing). It's done this the past two days, forcing restarts. That's beside the point. On reopening my game after the restart I came to find that NOTHING works. There are now no games scheduled in the midst of my season. All of my minor leagues and teams have disappeared. If you happen to find a screen with a player's name and link, if you press the link it will take you to the profile of some random player, a player I'm not sure even existed prior in my league. It's unplayable.

I figured out the problem thanks to some posters here from back in 2013. For some reason there were dat files within the lg save folder that saved at different times. Most of the dat files saved at 10:12 while there were others that saved at 10:13. I was guided to look inside the auto-save folder and lo and behold, all of those dat files were all saved at 10:12. So I copied and replaced all the dat files in my lg folder with the uniform dat files from auto-save folder and it miraculously cured my ailment. Thanks to posters from years ago!
