Updated to 24.4 Build 61. Saved Games gone

danath66 · 05-15-2023, 12:06 AM

Updated OOTP24 by using the link in the update notice and running the installer: https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=347017

After install my saved game is missing. I have tried the Settings>Troubleshooting>Open folder containing saved game process to find it and see nothing. Searching my computer for world.dat files only pulls from previous year OOTPs. The only remains I have found are in the User>SavedGames>OOTP Baseball 24 folder as a 9kb .ootp24lg file.

Does anyone know where else the saved game could have ended up?

So you've looked in your "Documents" folder, correct?

Do you have a folder you designate for your "SteamLibrary"?

Do you remember if you previously selected some folder as your "custom data path" via Settings > Expert?

I have to imagine it's somewhere. Searches will sometimes only search areas you've "indexed" and maybe this area just isn't indexed. Maybe try a different search tool like Everything. Maybe try searching "saved_games" or ".lg".

I have found it!

Your comment about a steam folder helped. This is the first year in many that I didn't get OOTP through steam. So using the Everything tool I was able to track the .lg down hiding on a different hard drive from all my other OOTP saves through the years.

Thank you for the guidance.
