Can I turn back time?

ronzoni · 11-23-2021, 06:57 PM

For reasons that will go unstated, is it possible to reset the "game clock" back a day, a week, a month or to the beginning of the season once it has been saved?

I'm guessing that there isn't.

Thanks.

If you made a backup, you can restore it. If you didn't make a backup, you're boned.

if you have a back-up, you can restore the game with a back-up. a day, a year, a week. depends on when you have created the back-up. As far as a do-over of a day or a week, no such thing exists to my knowledge outside using the back-up feature.
Even if you don't want to use the back-up feature as re-do mode, it's a good idea to made a back-up regularly, as things do happen with saves and computers.

I regularly zip my league file, I don't use the in-game backup anymore.

If you're running an online league thru S+, there is a back up created for you to hit that Omega 13 Button

(see Galaxy Quest for the reference).

Let me know if you can find a way.

if you catch it before an 'auto-save' event occurs, you can crash the game and copy over previous game files and it will revert to last saved state..

nuance... use file creation dates to figure out what is the newest / last revision. copy that over to root of your xxxxx.LG league folder. pretty sure you want to move the auto-save contents, but at thsi point i haven't done it in so long... file time stamps should make it obvious.

when you load, it'll say "date is not correct" or some **** like that, then it removes all db entries beyond 'current date' etc... pow, bam, boom.. reverted.

make backups before doign anything (NOT IN GAME, lol, that will cause a save to occur and ruin any chance of reverting)

copy files anywhere on temporary basis while you screw around... all good.
