Anyone Know Why Player History Text Not Writing?

[conception]

I haven't played exhaustively in a few years after spending 15 years playing the game regularly. Working on 25 and with a new league setup I'm simply not getting player history text files written. The history tabs for players shows no data, and where it used to write player txt into a file, in the news/txt folder, none shows up.



Really a bummer as that's practically the #1 thing that makes the game engrossing. I really need this to test out a new league structure.

OOTP not whitelisted in your AV issue? I posted this in reply to another user in the Tech Support awhile ago. There isn't a response so no idea if it helped. It may be worth a look for you.

Here's a link to the thread and my post from that thread quoted below.

I'm only a solo player and after one of the latest patches (I think it was three patches back, IIRC) in v25, OOTP would no longer write news stories or log transactions in my game. This had never happened before. What I found was my AV was not allowing the game to write these particular files to disk. The funny thing is I could still play my games, players would have their stats updated, standings worked fine, league leaders, etc., and the game would save when I was done. The only thing that was broke was text files, like logs and news stories, were being blocked. I only noticed because I check my emails, new stories, and all league transactions on a daily basis. First day I had no reports of news or transactions, which does happen on occasion. Next day was the same and I knew that wasn't right as I had traded a player, the players moved to their new teams, but there was no log of the trade. Went looking and found the fix for me was whitelisting.

I thought I had white listed v25, as I had previous versions but when checking I saw I had not. I whitelisted OOTP in my AV and my reports were back. Even though I had not whitelisted v25 I was still getting these reports until the patch I mention above.

I'd guess this is something you've already covered and your response may well be "duh, of course we have whitelisted OOTP", but, I am just trying to help and thought it worth mentioning after what happened in my game.
