Team Home Page/Fictional Players?

Windows 10
Processor AMD Radeon R5 Graphics 2.20 GHZ
Installed Memory 8 GB
System Type 64 Bit Operating System
x64 Based Processor


I got three games in to my 2017 Mets season.When I started the game up again ,clicked on Play ,It said one of my players was on DL and had to be activated .It was Josh Edgin but when I hovered over his name It gave me someone elses name.I went back to team home page and noticed all of the players on my roster were fictional players. I gave the job of activating DL players to CPU AI in order to continue playing but game crashed upon clicking the "Play" button.I'm new to the game so maybe I'm doing something wrong.

It sounds like you have a corrupted player database. You may need to restart your league.
1) OOTP saved games folder is in My Documents in Windows. GO to saved games->open your league. Copy only the .dat files.
2) Back up to saved games and create a new folder. The file extension must be .lg, the name of the league is up to you.
3) Paste the .dat files in the new league folder.
4) Open OOTP and try to open the league.

I think the chances of recovering this are slim. There is a way to upload files to tech support. You can find the instructions in the tech support forums.
Good luck,

Also, you can try to restore from the autosave. It'll depend on your autosave settings as to whether it's possible to do so with a fairly new league like you have, but you can give it a shot.

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.

Now start the game and load your league.
