I'm also a GM in the league fhomess refers to, and had the same problem—our problem, like Corsairs's, was solved by the inclusion of the
names.dat file, which had been left out when the problems occurred.
In the JL, the online league I run, we have about 2000 players in our universe, and we've played for six-and-a-half seasons, and when I include the
names.dat file, it comprises 2.8% of the total size of the league file. So, in our case, the cost of including it is low.
