Game File Doesn’t Work Upon New Update

[GingerFace]

Whenever I attempt to play with a game file that I had used in a previous update, the game crashes upon attempt to open it and I can not access it. Is there a better strategy for saving my games? I always save the files and back them up every time, however without success.

Thanks!

The first thing is to try to restore the corrupt save from the autosave function.

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.
