Can't find Historical Database

scott1964 · 08-03-2008, 08:26 PM

Little background. I had to replace my hard drive. My old hard drive is now a slave drive until it crashes for good. I copied my old save game to my new hard drive. I redownloaded Ootp to I think 9.12 ver. Tonight i opened my old game as received the following error, can't find historical database. I looked in the files and saw there is one that says historical database and there is the same file name and size on my other hard drive. I do not want to start over but I am unsure on how things will work out at the end of the year. Message says to look and make sure the path is correct in league option but I can not find where the path is stated.

Check if your database is in the same folder that it was with your original league. This is probably the reason why the game can't find it.

If it was in c:\baseballdatabase\XXX on your old hard drive the data must be in a folder with the exact same name and location.

Found the exact same file in two different places. Copied the one over and still get the same error.

Did you try tying your league to one of the historical database files used for OOTP 9? You can find their locations when you try to start a new historical league.
