So if you have an OOTP 12 save in OOTP 21 and 70+ years in the future you will have a ton of old deleted database records. Technically they are still in the database just flagged as deleted. So to make the database smaller you must purge them.

Most people never experience this because they might only play 5 to 20 years and not near 100 years.

Now it has to give everything a new unique ID (teams, players etc) since it purged thousands and thousands of records. This is what could cause a universe to get "wonky". Maybe they get different faces or the logos have to get redone. But it could potentially cause something bizarre, technically speaking lol.

But it's the only thing that can be done if the template suggestion didn't work. Its the only thing that makes the database smaller and cleans it up.
I did the purge and it still freezes up and close when I hit buttons or will say out of memory. And took picture of the result of purge ... I truly think its the file as this has occured at least on the last several versions and 4 different laptops even the ootp team tried to help and they said it was a memory leak at the time.
