Cannot find saved game (Windows)

MacAkm · 07-26-2020, 07:22 PM

Yesterday, I got onto OOTP 2021 and it said it could not find my game. All my save files were in the saved gamed and I even restored from backup and it couldn't find it. I have followed all the standard troubleshooting and the game still cant find my saved game. It is in the year 2039 and I would hate to lose this save like I did for one a little while back. I uploaded the save as ThisShouldWorkootp.zip in the FTP

I have not actually checked the files you uploaded to the ftp yet, but I would guess the league files are corrupt.

If you try restoring from the autosave, rather than the backup, does that change anything?

1) Open the game and on the start screen, click on Settings (or Preferences in OOTP 11-14).

2) Now click on the tab "Troubleshooting".

3) Click "Open folder containing saved games".

4) Now open up the league folder you're wanting to restore.

5) Then select all of the .dat files in the folder and back them up (just in case) by copying them to a temporary folder or creating a zipped file with them

6) Open the folder called "auto-save".

7) In there, select all of the ".dat" files and copy them to the league folder (the parent of the current folder) overwriting all of the ".dat" files in the league folder.

8) Now start the game and load your league.
