Can't load saved game
 

A couple days ago I created the game I planned on playing throughout the summer...

I've done tons of editing to it, so I really rather not start over, but anyways, shut down my computer earlier today to run some errands and just now restarted the computer and went to load OOTP and now I'm getting...

OOTP cannot load this database because it has been created with an earlier version of OOTP. Please use the button "Import OOTP 19" to import the database.

Not only was it created with OOTP 20 but also on the same patch number .2 build 33 that I'm still on.

TIA

Help Please?

What does it take to actually get some help?

You're posting over the Easter holidays for us here in Europe, so we're a bit slower responding.

But filling out a support ticket is always the fastest way to get help.

That being said, the only potential solution to a corrupt file like this is something I've posted here in several places, which is to try to restore the save from the autosave function.

1) Open the game and on the start screen, click on Settings (or Preferences in OOTP 11-14).

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.

Thanks Lukas

Just a suggestion, but I'd sticky this solution cus even tho its my first time needing it, I'm sure others do as well
