League file deleted

baseballandhockeyrock · 05-01-2018, 04:52 PM

While the game was open and I am in my league file my game froze up. I had to shut down my computer and when I restarted the league file disppeared from the game. When I go to OOTP, and saved games the file is there.

Any suggestions

thanks

Might be a corrupt file at this point. Do you have a backup ?

First step is likely to try restoring from the most recent auto-save.
To restore from the automatic backup, do the following:

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.

If that doesn't work, come back and we can suggest more things to try
