OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Macintosh -- "Finalizing" when loading a game never ends

zordand · 05-17-2008, 02:35 PM

I've had the game installed for a number of months and have been able to play games, create new games, etc. Last night, I lost the ability to play an existing game. I can launch the program select the game to load, it reads the files, and then goes to a "Loading Database Finalizing..." screen that it never exits.

Similarly, I can create a new game, start the draft, save the game, tell the computer to finish the draft and it again gets into this state where it completes the draft, but evidently doesn't write the files out. It eats CPU and keeps taking VM.

I've deleted the application and reinstalled/patched and am back at 2.0.3.68 but still have the problem. Nothing in any logs.

Do you know what might be happening and how to fix it? Else, how can I totally uninstall and start from scratch?

Thanks.
