I tried moving all of my save games across OOTP23 and OOTP24 to a new laptop and now I'm getting an error that they're all corrupted.

How do I submit save game data to the OOTP dev team to see if they can resolve this, and what's the outlook?

To be clear, I have backups of each game and when I try to restore them using the backups I'm getting an error. I don't know what would've messed up the data like this.

I don't know the answer but you might get one if you posted with a subject line descriptive of your problem and in a forum with same traffic, say, the 25 General Discussions forum.

How did you try "moving all of my save"? You can't copy and paste the files. You need to import a 23 game to 24 using the import function in OOTP 24 and for an OOTP 24 game you need to use the import function on OOTP25 start screen. As Brad says, more detail is required to assist.

Okay. the issue resolved itself.

Basically the problems were that first the game wasn't recognizing any backups, and then that it wasn't loading them because they were started on an earlier version of the game (which I had imported across multiple versions).

Now I'm encountering a less significant issue where the font size for stats isn't scaling properly and the stats are overlapping. I see a notification that certain game elements like font and font size require a restart but I'm not sure how to do this. I've exited and opened the game multiple times including switching to other game files but nothing has worked.

So basically is there something not working or is there another way to restart the game that isn't just quitting and opening the game?

What are your font size settings? Have you tried going into the Settings and making any adjustments?

If you are running windowed but near full screen try switching to full screen.

Why do people use different players, different lineups, different strategy, development, talent change randomness, and the development lab, but judge the game on whether it produces historical statistics?
