PLEASE HELP! Runtime Error!

kenyan_cheena · 10-27-2004, 06:30 AM

Okay, I've had the game for about 10 days, and have no problems ... until now.

I created a custom league (4 divisions with 6 teams in each), starting in 1900 with a $90,000,000 salary cap and $20,000,000 cash maximum. I let the computer draft the coaches and players and got to the stage when I was ready to start the season. After simulating one game, the software froze, and a couple of minutes later I got the "OOTP Baseball has experienced difficulties and must shut down..." message.

I thought the problem could have to do with the amount of leagues (5) I had stored on file, so I went into "My Computer" and deleted three of them.

When I went back into OOTP Baseball, the date at the top of the screen was showing as ,0/0/0. I selected Continue League, but no league details came up on the screen. So I went to File Open League. I clicked on one of the two leagues that were still on file and received the message:

Microsoft VisualC++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: Program Files\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP6\OOTP6.exe

abnormal program termination

OK

When I click on OK, the computer exits out of OOTP Baseball.

The same thing happened when I tried to create another custom league.

Any advise on how to fix this problem would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks.

Did you delete the "last open league"?

No.

kenyan_cheena · 10-27-2004, 07:07 PM

Any advice?

Steve Kuffrey · 10-27-2004, 08:08 PM

How many total teams are in this league?

The first league I made was a 32 team league. The one I created was a 24 team league.

kenyan_cheena · 10-27-2004, 08:15 PM

Should I re-install the game?

Steve Kuffrey · 10-27-2004, 08:40 PM

Couldn't hurt.

Okay, I'm home from work now, sitting in front of my computer. I've got my proof of purchase e-mail sitting in Outlook Express, so if I remove all the software for the game from my computer, and then re-install it, I shouldn't have a problem with having to pay for it again, should I?

Always safe to unlicense the game first:

In my OOTP6 folder (within Program Files), there is a file called elicen40.dll.
Is this the file I'm looking for?

Follow the instructions in the link I posted above.

Um, sorry, but you didn't answer my question. Is elicen40.dll the file I am looking for?

Steve Kuffrey · 10-28-2004, 08:34 AM

That is the "license" for the game. But the procedure to unlicense the game is to follow the guide in the posted link.

kenyan_cheena · 10-28-2004, 08:56 AM

I did a search of my computer, and I don't have an eLicense folder. I think the only software that I have on the computer that would require an eLicense is OOTP Baseball and OOTP Title Bout Championship Boxing.

jmm8356 · 10-28-2004, 09:02 AM

It's probably in your Control Panel, or else in My Computer like "Printers". Mine is called "eLicense Control". Either way, it probably wouldn't show up in a search, as it is not technically a "folder" but a Control Panel applet.

kenyan_cheena · 10-29-2004, 06:41 AM

Okay, I've found my eLicence folder, and I went through the process of removing and re-installing the game.

Thank you so much for your help, Steve and jmm8356.

Steve Kuffrey · 10-29-2004, 06:42 AM

Glad things are looking up.

thechadman2 · 10-29-2004, 10:37 AM

Same thing happened to me, I just reinstalled it.

RMc · 10-30-2004, 05:04 PM

I'm getting the runtime error, too; on startup it opens up to an "empty" league, and won't let me open or create another one.

Do I reinstall? Is there a step-by-step guide someplace? Thanks.
