Immediate crash to desktop since new patch

[eMLBCommish]

I've updated to Build 76, now my entire league (30 GMs, I do not run a team) cannot access the file. File uploaded properly last night after a usual sim and Twitch broadcast of a specific game.

In trying to load the file now after the patch, I get to 78% when it checks the database, and then it immediately crashes to desktop.

Please advise ASAP.

I'm in the OOTP Discord channel as FKNCommishLB (aka LB)#2764

Sounds like this is a corrupt save.

You should hopefully be able to restore the game from the autosave function.

To restore from the automatic backup, do the following:

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.

8) Now start the game and load your league

Still the same problem. The auto save crashed it as well.

If you can upload the save files, either to our server or to Dropbox or another sharing site and post a link, we can try to check things out.

I'm not sure if anything can be done or not, worst case you may need to go back to to your previous save, but we can at least take a look.

I'm actually on vacation atm so I won't be able to check it out myself, but I alerted the support team and someone should be able to follow up with you.

When you post the files, you might also want to send an email to support@ootpdevelopments.com, which will create a support ticket and make it easier for them to keep track of this

I've uploaded the .dat files as eMLB.lg.zip to the OOTP server, and sent an e-mail as you advised.

Thanks for your help. I have a backup plan with a local friend, but trying to avoid losing anything that has transpired.
