Hello there,

While I was playing my OOTP 27 franchise mode today, I ran into the following error message: "Error: Unable to open the sqlite database". I messaged the help group on Discord to which someone referred me to a forum from a previous version of the game (OOTP 19) on how to fix this error when encountered (link to this page: https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/showpost.php?p=4384242&postcount=4)

After following the instructions on this post, I am now getting the following error message "The loading of the database failed. It is either corrupt or a save-game from an old version)" when trying to load back into my save. Now I fear that I lost my save which I have spent 175 hours on, and am asking if anyone can help!

Thanks,
NIU Nate
