After installing 1st patch, scoreboard is blank!
1. Close OOTPB
2. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\OOTP Baseball 2007\data\skins\ootp blue 2007, or whichever folder holds the skin you are using.
3. Delete skin.bin
4. Restart OOTPB

Correct. I also just bought the game, didn't d/l the patch if that makes a difference.

I dont have a "skins" folder under data.

My first thought was a corrupted download, but if the game is loading, you do have skins somewhere. Maybe do a search for that folder name or something.

The folder isn't always in that directory, if you installed the game to a different folder it is there. I had the same problem and the folder was a sub-folder in the install-path.

hope this migth help.

I installed this to the default directory. I did a search of the entire Sports Interactive directory for "skins.bin" and got nothing.

Maybe if I patch, that will help?

No. If the game is actually starting up, that means the skin file is somewhere on your machine. I'd do a search of the entire c drive to find out where it is.

Of course, if you haven't patched yet, you should do so anyway.

Ok, this is crazy. I've searched my whole hard drive for "skin.bin" - its not there. Is there another name for this file? Playing without the scoreboard is bearly impossible.

I have patched - to no avail.

Perhaps we need to have you reinstall everything. The best way is to move all your saved games, world templates and quickstarts your destop or whatever then uninstall the game in control panel, delete the OOTP Baseball 2007 folder in my docs/sports interactive, then go to program files and delete the OOTP Baseball 2007 folder.

That should remove everything OOTP07 from your PC. Then go here and download the game: http://www.ootpbaseball.net/downloads.php (I think you will have to DL 2.1 and then patch to 2.2 as the page seems to indicate the full version is not updated with the patch - not sure if that is really the case).
