OOTP25 Base Game Build 103 - Most Players Renamed "Smith"

FranchiseTimeMachine · 02-22-2025, 05:32 PM

One of many bugs that have all hit in the past week, OOTP25.11 Build 103. Most started for me after OOTP crashed and then my PC crashed while trying to restart OOTP25. Similar issues have been seen on streams by my fellow OOTP affiliate Streamers MaxLP80 and EzraDenney.

In this issue, we re-opened a saved version of the 2023 Season I streamed last night that we also impacted by "Highlights" replay bugs and post-season awards not generating bugs. In an effort to try to get those post-season awards to generate, we tried to go back to the save from game date 10/30/2023 after the world series.

First, the saved season would not open, so I had to end the program (closing it would've caused the game to save over our 10/30/2023 game date save).

Then, upon re-opening the season, we found that our entire team (Chicago Cubs, all players generated in the player creation window) had their last names changed to Smith. In case it was an issue with created players, we checked other rosters and found many players renamed "Smith" including "Shohei Smith" on the Angels and "Ronald Smith" on the Braves, so it is NOT a created player issue.

Also, I have used that method of closing the game via task manager many times without this issue occurring.

Here is a Twitch highlight of the issue to demonstrate it and hopefully give you some clues on how I might be able to prevent / correct it
