Yesterday my fictional team went into the next calendar year and I had an auto save on 1/1/21. After simming through until mid-April, the game crashed again. Now load times are back up to several minutes, hanging in the same spot, even though I have again deleted those same files a couple times. I am sure if I attempt to play I will get more crashes also.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

edit: If I uninstall and reinstall the game, will my saved game remain intact in my OOTP10 Folder?
So, it appears that there is something else that's gotten corrupted and buggy, and the bookmarks/links files are just innocent bystanders. Since I haven't a clue as to what that might be, I'd probably try a variety of things to see if I could fix the problem. At the very least, I'd de-license and download/re-install OOTP. If that doesn't solve the problem, I'd start to think that the problem was in my league files. If so, that could be hard to fix and still keep my league going -- it might have to be trashed.

Before you do that, however, you could FTP your game files to OOTPDev (see sticky thread on that above) to see if Markus or Andreas will take a look at it.
