Lineup Screen Not Displaying POSITION PLAYERS

tojaroslaw · 08-02-2019, 09:01 PM

After one of the updates to OOTP 20, the lineup screen no longer shows POSITION PLAYERS in the upper right screen. Instead it shows the entire roster and the options are the same you would find in the rosters/transaction screen (IL, Waivers, DFA, minor league teams, 40 man roster). Additionally I cannot drag players from that menu into the lineup at all. I have to go to customizable list to do that. Please help me revert it back to saying POSITION PLAYERS like it is supposed to! Name: 2019-sim_2020-03-13_19-47-01.jpg

Does clicking the "show customizable player list" on and off help at all?

If not, it's possible something got corrupted in state that we save between games. To fix this, you may need to delete the user.dat file. You can find that if you open a game, go to the settings link at the bottom, go to the troubleshooting tab, and then click on the "open folder containing app.cfg". From there, you should exit the OOTP game, rename user.dat to something like user_backup.dat, and then re-open the game.

Now, you may lose certain other defaults that have gotten saved, but I believe that should get you the player list back.
