Hey Shazero,

Usually a SQL Database error means that the game can't access the files it needs in your customization folder to load. It can also be caused sometimes by having a non-basic ASCII character as part of your name in the data path.

The way to work around this is to use a different data path.

To do so, open "Game settings" -> "Experts" tab and select another data path for OOTP like for example c:\ootp20

Then restart OOTP and it should work. You may need to move over your saved games to the new datapath location to restore those.

I'm sorry about that, I know it's kind of a pain. I'm not really sure why the limitation exists, it's not at all optimal, but unfortunately it does for now.

Let me know if that works for you or if you have any issues.

Thanks
Alex
