Constant issues with ootp 24

Not happy at all with this version

Haven't been able to get past 75 games played 3x time without it crashing (telling me it's a previous version when I try loading it)

being a long time customer since the beginning and this is by far the worst version ive ever had with constant crashes

It's hard to understand (besides) laptop, desktop, or tablet issues why so many people have or don't have issues. Been 24 years playing OOTP started and only had 1 issue when 3D was first implemented. Other than players mustaches too long or not, not much in major issues. Really sorry for ur problems as I would be PO'd too

If it is indeed everyone than that means you too. Can you search the boards and post when everyone said this and the exact time? Thanks.

I won’t say Ootp 24 is the worst version, but it’s definitely buggy. I’ve been playing it since Ootp 15.

For what it’s worth, I loaded it with no issues as far as stability and/or crashes.

I think a lot of it might have to do with the capability of a person's computer / graphics card, etc. I've been playing for four years now and have never had crashing issues. The odd bug but never crashing issues.

Sorry to hear that.

The previous version error message comes as a result of a corrupt save file.

Typically if the save is corrupt, you can restore 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.

That won't necessarily stop this from happening again though.

Unfortunately, this is typically caused by something on your system, it's not something that comes from the game itself. So not the result of a bug f.e.

There are a few things that can cause corruption. This potentially includes unexpected system shutdowns or crashes while a league is saving, bad sectors on the hard drive the game is saved to, memory glitches on your computer (especially possible if the league is left open for very long periods of time without the game being shut down or restarted) or interference from other programs, especially disk cleaners or anti-virus programs.

Some of what you might do to prevent that from coming up again would be to regularly defrag your hard drive as well as check it for errors, don't leave OOTP open and running with a league loaded overnight or for long periods when you are not actually using the game, make sure to shut your computer off or at least restart it occasionally and also run as few other programs in the background at the same time as OOTP as possible. For programs that need to be running at the same time, like an anti-virus or firewall, it's a good idea to add OOTP to their whitelist and to create an exception for OOTP's directories if you use some sort of automated disk cleaner.

Been playing since ootp22, , 23 constantly crashes during gameplay.(simming seems fine) New computer, latest graphic card etc. Played 22 and 23 on the same computer with no issues, so I don't think its my computer. This version has sooo many awesome new features, and I love the game but I may have to bail on '23 if it doesn't get resolved. Not to be a hard a** because Im commend developers who put so much work into this game, but wondering with the updated game play engine (which is much improved over 23) something went wacky and is causing crashes. some of my players heads are missing too. Ouch.

Do you have the latest patch? (#51) ... I'm pretty sure the headless player option was fixed a few versions ago? Anyone?

48 should have fixed any issues with headless or disappearing players.

I can't remember if I've already suggested this for you or not. Apologies if so. But it may be that you have a borked or a corrupt install. If so, verifying the game files on Steam might fix things.

Please install the newest public beta patch, and let us know if that changes anything.

https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/....php?p=4996803

Also, after installing, go to OOTP 24 in Steam, right click and go to properties > local files > verify integrity of local files to make sure that the patch installed correctly.
