Rosters Dissapear

KAFFEE41 · 09-19-2006, 04:26 AM

I'm new to OOTP and finally got my Lahman DB loaded and began to play...but..whenever I get through Spring Training to the day the season begins, the rosters for all the league's teams go blank. I've started in the minors and all the ML teams are there, but my team and all others are gone. Please advise on my error or what I need to do to fix this. I'm not sure if I need to download the patch or if I'm just doing something wrong. I just bought the game last week but I noticed that It's the original version...why? If I need to uninstall and load the patch...please help me with the walkthrough of how to do that successfully....Thanks for the effort to get me through this...much appreciated.

Do you have a filter on by any chance? They stay on in the game until you turn them off and this can cause a whole list to disappear (happened to me in the past before I knew what I was doing). If you just DL'd the game last week you should have 1.0.3 which is the most current version. Next time you start it up look in the bottom left corner of the screen before hitting continue or load game.

Thanks for responding. Unfortunately, the filter's were not on, so it wasn't that simple. My version does seem to be the original. 1.0.0. How should I go about fixing this?

KAFFEE41 - May I be the first to urge you to update immediately to 1.03? Below is the list of all changes since 1.0.0; I am not aware of what your problem entails, but chances are it's included somewhere on this extensive list. It's fairly simple; download and double-click; the install program finds where you installed the game and updates it. The startup screen should say "1.03 Build 12270" (more precisely "1.0.3.12270") in the lower left if successful.

Thanks for your help Yanks '98...I will download the patch. Do I need to uninstall the game before I do that? Is there anything I need to do outside of simply downloading it? I would like to get this right the first time. I just need the proper steps in some detail. Much thanks.

No, do not uninstall because then the patch program will not find the game program and nothing will happen. Plus, you may have license problems next. Back up your saved game(s). Leave OOTP off, download the downloaded 1.03 patch file to your desktop (anticipating your question, no, you don't need to install the 1.01 and 1.02 patches first; 1.03 will do it all), then double-click that file and watch it do its thing.

If this does not solve your original problem, you will have to post here again, of course. But I notice that the first thing that they ask you is whether you have updated to version 1.03 so you might as well go ahead. Good luck.

This one meets this criteria, so I'm closing this.
