I understand this is a common problem so i'm somewhat surprised there arent any threads related to it, or none that i found anyway.

The problem we're having is at random times and with random owners SOME, but not all, owners have the issue where Joe Unknowns appear on rosters and/or the rosters become scrambled with players from other teams.

I know that re-installing the names.dat file solves this, but has there been any other resolutions to this and more importantly, how about a patch that solves it?
