Game breaking ?!?!

JoeyChaotic · 02-12-2019, 03:13 PM

So a few days ago I finally got off my butt and purchased OOTP19 on a sale through Steam. I got it installed and started playing with zero issues. i started a regular game, went in as commish and expanded the league by 2 teams and proceeded to take over one of them. I worked my way through an entire season.

I am now beginning to start my second season. I am in spring training. I was able to sim through the second game. For some reason every time I tried to sim the 3rd game it would lock up. I tried to "finish day", sim a day ,week or whatever and it all locked up. It would go to the screen with the standings and the leaders on each sides and it would just freeze there until i finally got tired of waiting and hit ctrl, alt and delete to end task.

I finally decided just to try and play the 3rd game and see what happened. I was able to get through the game but when i go to "finish day" or any other sim duration it looks up and freezes.

I cant do anything anymore. I cant get passed this day. This is completely game breaking if i can only play one season. Is there anything i can do to fix this ?

I have already:
-Turned off overlay in Steam
-Troubleshooting- force data reinstallation
-switched between window and full screen.
-defragmented hard drive

Thanks for any help..

Same here. May be the new patch messed something up. Mine has been fine up until today. Guess we have to hope a fix is coming soon. Sorry I cant help, just letting you know others are experiencing the same issue.

Yeah, the new patch has borked something. We have had a slew of tickets about freezing and not being able to advance to the next day. Give us a little time to figure out what is going on and we'll tell you all how to fix it or maybe get one more patch out to solve the issue. Either way, we will be giving updates about what is going wrong and how to solve it.

Thanks
Alex

I was experiencing this as well with an old save. I tried to register for the support ticket system but it didn't ever send me registration confirmation email to either of the 2 email addresses I tried.
Created a new game and got the same issue after 12 games.
