Can't start a game

MAYBL8 · 05-07-2024, 08:32 AM

I'm in game 30 in the regular season for 2024 and wanted to manage a game. I select the lineups and press Start game and it just locks up.
I have the game installed on my system in Linux and It is installed through steam. I have never had this issue before. It won't let me do anything at that point and I have to hard stop the system.
Thanks

Not sure what was wrong but after trying several different things I thought I would try to use the Play exhibition game option. That worked and then I went to play the regular game and it worked.

Interesting.

Not solved . It let me play one game and then it does the same thing on the next game.
Playing an exhibition game didn't solve it this time.

I suppose you also tried closing OOTP using Task Manager and re-starting. If not, try; worked the one time this happened to me.

I'm using Steam on LInux so there is no Windows Task Manager.

Wow, up to 47,000, thank you. Wow, I hadn't checked for weeks. Oct 9 2024 its 79,561. Why do people use different players, different lineups, different strategy, development, talent change randomness, and the development lab, but judge the game on whether it produces historical statistics?
