Player suddenly moved to Free Agent for some reason

[pittsadelphia]

I know we are coming up on 2024 but I am still playing my 2023 game and I am in the year 2050. One of my all-timers recently got moved to FA's (he was on the active roster and playing at the time, AI does not have access to make roster changes) and whats weirder is that after it did this it removed all his accomplishments and stats from the History page (but not at the top). See attachments


Can anyone explain? What did I do or what happened? I've been playing OOTP for nearly 20 years (OOTP 4) and never seen this before.

I should add that I noticed when I got a message that I had an invalid lineup. I then enabled commish mode and added him back to the Phillies via the Editor.

Oh, I've yet to see that issue personally but it looks like player corruption for that particular player. I would suggest doing an autosave restore or pulling from a backup if you want to get that all back. I would definitely check other players as well to see if it's just this one or more that the issue happened to. If it's more than just this one player definitely look into the autosave restore at least to see if that helps get that back. Otherwise, you could technically go back through and edit the history of the player if you have a way to know what that was. You can edit those back in it would just hopefully be the one player and you would need a way to remember or find out what that once was.

Thanks

Thanks Alex. I've been playing since OOTP 4. I was in college, single and thin then! Never saw this before. I'll look at the autosaves. Pretty sure I set mine to save once a week so I probably have an autosave with his stats. In my 20 years of OOTP I've never had a player get to 3000 hits and Sergio Ortiz, bless his heart, is 400 away and he's got a shot!


Thanks!

Hey Alex, how can I access my auto-saves to try to load from?

The auto-save restoration function is in the manual:

http://manuals.ootpdevelopments.com/..._From_Autosave

I've never had to do it so don't know any quirks but this at least is the official process... Before trying it, I might just copy and paste the .lg file on the desktop in case something goes wrong. That way you can try again.
