Help! 7 years and 56 seasons up in smoke after latest patch

Cool Papa Bell · 01-23-2019, 01:28 AM

I just patched to 19.13.132, the latest out there and my entire league is now jacked up. Nearly every player is linking on roster files to another player. I have never played or logged in to perfect team and this is the first time this has happened. Please help! This has been a project started on OOTP 11 and in it's 56th season with 32 owners in an on-line league.

Frustrating and for what it's worth, the whole perfect team is less than perfect both from a game play standpoint and a marketing standpoint, but what do I know.

Sorry that happened! The patch would not have caused this, from what you're describing it sounds like the league file is corrupt.

Can you try restoring the league from the autosave and see if that fixes things (you might lose some progress with the autosave)

1) Open the game and on the start screen, click on Settings

2) Now click on the tab "Troubleshooting".

3) Click "Open folder containing saved games".

4) Now open up the league folder you're wanting to restore.

5) Then select all of the .dat files in the folder and back them up (just in case) by copying them to a temporary folder or creating a zipped file with them

6) Open the folder called "auto-save".

7) In there, select all of the ".dat" files and copy them to the league folder (the parent of the current folder) overwriting all of the ".dat" files in the league folder.

Then restart and try to load the save again. Let me know how it goes.

Thank you for the reply! I'm not exactly sure what happened but the steps back to the last auto-save didn't work. I was able to get someone else in the league to upload the league file from prior and go from there. It does sound like it was a database glitch of some kind but even after replacing with the prior file and simming forward again, for some reason the game released all newly drafted players. Still trying to figure that out but not a total disaster. Thanks again for getting in touch!
