Hi everybody!

We have fixed / tweaked a few more issues from the last public beta, so here is a new public beta, version 23.6.82. If this is stable we will launch it officially on Monday.

Use this at your own risk! Please back up important league files before loading them in this beta. This patch is compatible with the previous patch for online leagues - exports will work between versions, however both clients and the commish need to update to benefit from the online league fixes.

Changelist (23.6.82):
Fixed World DB re-import to update languages properly
Fixed division graph spacing
Fixed promised roles for two way players
Added option for free agents to wear a (random) suit

Changelist (23.6.78):

Added ability to edit fireworks emitters in park page (note: Once a park has been saved on the update, it will not be able to be loaded on previous versions of the game)
Added camera views to default major and default minor parks
Improved New Game creation logo setup
Adjusted when + and - buttons shift on player contract page (ie. +10M button now appears when salary >= 25M, not >= 10M)
Adjusted player evaluation in low-strikeout eras (recalc modifiers recommended)
Adjusted AI depth chart and lineup decisions
Adjusted prospect creation (slightly more variation in batting profiles)
Adjusted default pitch mix for newly created players
Adjusted AI eval of SP
Adjusted impact of high ticket prices on attendance
Updated default draft date.
Fixed some retired players staying around with historical transactions enabled
Fixed some issues with sortable team stats for WAR, FIP, etc… showing 0
Fixed crash when draft lottery set with not enough slots
In Challenge mode, automatically adjust draft odds if out of range (all slots must have one ball, balls cannot significantly increase for later spots)
Fixed Draft Leagues not pulling players from Feeder Leagues
Fixed some checks and error messages when trying to waive/DFA injured players
If manually importing current draft results, will search data/stats/draft_list_2022.csv first, and if no file exists, will download live start copy to use
Live Start: If not updating teams, draft will be moved to after live start date
Fixed some issues in handling historical transactions
Fixed some historical minor league stats being tagged to MLB teams
Fixed some doubleheader scheduling times
Fixed some issues reimporting the Names DB
Fixed upper Calendar script spacing
Fixed financials for non-promoted teams when running manual promotion/relegation
Fixed teams changing owners shortly after a previous owner change

PT: Fixed card appearing when changing sell order on card

How to access the beta on Steam:

Quit OOTP 23 if it's running.
Open Steam client -> Library
Right click on Out of the Park Baseball 23
Click on "Properties" at the bottom of the menu
Click on the beta tab. Here, enter the following code / password: ootp23betapt
Click on "Check code"
Open the beta pull-down and select "publicbeta".
Close the Steam client (Steam menu -> Exit)
Open the client again. It should then download the beta build.

Update Info for our webstore customers: To apply the update, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. Updates always contain all the changes from previous updates. Saved games are compatible between different versions.

Download link for PC Beta (Fastspring Webstore Version):
Main server: PC Installer

Here's a PC installer (Fastspring) that installs into a single folder, which is useful for external HDs for example. Or for creating a second test install of the game, so you can try the patch out without the risk of messing up your main install of the game if something is wrong in the patch:
PC Single Folder Installer

Download link for Mac (FastSpring):
Main Server: Mac OSX Installer

Please post here if you have any issues or if you run into major bugs. Thanks!

Cheers,
Markus & the entire OOTP Team

Having this problem with the single folder version as well.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious but my Steam version (pc) won't update the beta from .80 to .82.

Under properties it was set to the publicbeta and had updated to .80 when it came out. Thought with that it would auto update to any new beta? But it remained on .80. I did follow the beta steps again, IE

and got the join beta prompt. Figured that would start the d'load when I started the game. But no matter what it doesn't update to .82, but remains version .80.

Not a big deal, just wanted to check the division graph spacing.

Sorry guys. The links and the Steam download should work now!

Thank you for the fix

koohead · 08-12-2022, 07:29 PM

with the adjustments being made to created players (I'm assuming draft pool??) is there a way to retroactively adjust those players that have already been created? with 4 years of draft prospects essentially being created at any one time, hate to think that my talent pool will be 'off' for 4 years

Not sure if this is where I mention it but game is crashing when I try to move on to the next day after current game only since this Beta

After reimporting the world database, all generated players are white. The facial type ratios for each ethnicity do not seem to be importing properly.

Reported by bwiese. I can confirm it happens in my Steam pc version.

For clarity it's on the "league transaction" screen. Transactions on the team screen does not crash, at least not in my game.

Edit to add trace files.

Appears there is a workaround until the next patch comes out. Right click>offer contract : does open the offer screen so you can at least try to sign guys. BNN page, I think, will give you any other information you might need, IE options used, days of service, etc..

Can also confirm (Steam version).

Is the pregame screen which only currently shows the Human team's team leaders going to be fixed in one of these patches?

Bobbyraz49 · 08-14-2022, 11:04 AM

Once again to the developers .... Thank You.

RunBlakeRun · 08-14-2022, 05:00 PM

Been having the same crash issue as well. Patch is otherwise awesome. Not sure why it started crashing just now when opening up the tab before was fine.

daves · 08-14-2022, 10:32 PM

Can't wait for the Odd number of round robin tournaments to get fixed like advertised.

CLEBearcat · 08-15-2022, 12:48 AM

I'm seeing average profit per team at -$5,200,000 upon league start which is up from -$600,000 in the old ones. This may be already addressed and normal but curious if this leads to the issues with team finances some folks reported earlier in the release.

Thank you for all of the hardwork on this per usual team!

I believe that fix came in one of these latest public betas. If you're still seeing it, let us know where, there's a chance we missed a spot still.

Either something specific is happening with your machine, or I am still not understanding what setup you're trying to do. I can run all numbers of different round robin pool setups.

If you can let us know exactly what the playoff setup you're trying to do (how many qualifier teams from each division/wildcards, how big each RR pool should be, and how many advance from there), we can look to make sure we can replicate here.
