Unable to Open Historical DB - Mac - Fix

rpriske · 03-18-2025, 11:14 AM

This happened last year as well and we were able to to fix it, but that is because the location has moved.

The message says:

Unable to open the historical database file historical_database.odb in '?Users/XXXXXX/Library/Containers/com.ootpdevelopments.ootp25r Support/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 25/stats'! Please check your database path in Game Options/League Setup/Historical

The true path should be /Users/XXXXXXX/Library/Containers/OOTP Baseball 26/Data/Application Support/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 26/stats

With the XXXXX being whatever it is on your computer

Yeah, mine's slightly different to that. Mac is problematic in this regard. I really do wish they'd enable the ability to point to the directory on your computer rather than this cumbersome typing of the full address which is so easy to get wrong and clearly differs from person to person. No idea why the devs won't do this or at least allow the copy/paste function to be used.
