Game crashes after patching to 9.2

koohead · 10-04-2008, 01:03 PM

1. What, specifically, were you doing when the problem occurred? Include the specific screen you were on when the problem occurred.

After downloading and installing the full install (220mb) for patch 6 or 9.2, game crashes with "OOTP9 has encountered a problem". Restart exe and get the message that crash flag is set and graphics reset to default, but still crashes with same error. Uninstalled and reinstalled...same error.

2. What happened? Was there an error message? If so, what was the specific message?
Game crashes, never loads. GAme worked fine on 9.1.6.

3. Were you able to repeat the error with this same game? With another game? If so, what steps did you take?
repeatable...everytime I try to run ootp9.exe

4. If relevant, what do you think the program should have done?
Um, load and run the game?

5. What is your league configuration (fictional/historical, etc.)
Fictional league that was orig created back in OOTP2007 and converted to OOTP8 and subsequently OOTP9 successfully. GAme was running fine on verion 9.1.6.

6. Are you a Mac or PC user?
PC. Windows XP SP2. Nvidia graphics card running at 1280x1024. GeForce 6600 GT.

Just as a side note, I downloaded the exe only file off the main server, which is reporting as 9.1.6 and the game runs fine again.

Are you referring to the actual 9.1.6 exe or are you saying that the .exe listed here Downloads is showing up in the game as 9.1.6?!

1. What, specifically, were you doing when the problem occurred? Include the specific screen you were on when the problem occurred.

Downloaded full install as .exe file was not available yet. Installed new parch. Clicked to start game, game started to load and then it crashed and get the message that crash flag is set and graphics reset to default, but still crashes with same error. Uninstalled and reinstalled...same error.

2. What happened? Was there an error message? If so, what was the specific message?

Am am attaching the file that was generated when the game crashed

I am running a historical league stated in 1960 and now in 1972

Running XP

Reinstalling 9.1.6 from an old download I have

I will get back with the result when I finish

both I guess. the executable only download is stll the 9.1.6 version. Lucky for me. Only the full version download on that link you provided contains the 9.2 version of the exe.

I'm sorry. The Executable Only section on that download page is 9.1.6?

Correct. based on the "patch released" thread the exe version of 9.2 is not available yet so I took a chance to see if 9.1.6 was still linked in the exe section, and it was.

Sorry, koo. I'm just trying to avoid confusion, but I'm not doing a very good job. Markus says in his post later in the thread here OOTP 9 Version 9.2.0 (Patch #5) Released! that the exe only is available. Did you use that one? Does anyone know if that one is not 9.2.0 exe like it's supposed to be? I'm not misunderstanding Markus' post, am I?

targy · 10-04-2008, 03:46 PM

Old version works fine...Just can't upgrade to 9.2, the game just keeps crashing

I must have gotten it "under the wire" then. I just restarted the game to confirm and yes it is reporting 9.1.6. I'll try to re-download the exe version only and let you all know if that works or not (and confirm that it is in fact 9.2).

resting · 10-04-2008, 04:04 PM

Just to echo other posts, the upgraded 9.2 patch doesn't work for meand crashes on startup, but if I reinstall 9.16 (which I had backed up), the program works (albeit without the new upgrades of 9.2). I then tried 9.2 again (nope, again)

koohead · 10-04-2008, 04:13 PM

Okay just redownloaded the exe only file that is posted on the downloads site and yes, it is the 9.2 version (verified by crash as well as difference in file size compared to 9.1.6 working version).
So yes, the exe only download of 9.2 crashes for me as well, while 9.1.6 version of the exe is still working fine.

Thanks for your help, koo. I hope the trouble is located soon for you folks having this problem. I know it's frustrating.

koohead · 10-04-2008, 05:06 PM

oh, no problem. thanks for questioning the exe only download. Would have hated to leave the impression for others that the 9.2 exe was not available yet.

Nutlaw · 10-11-2008, 08:16 AM

Will 9.2.2 work for you guys?

targy · 10-11-2008, 08:40 AM

9.2.2. works

beatnikpoet13 · 10-21-2008, 03:04 PM

I'm having the same problem. I recently upgraded to version 9.2.2, and when I upgraded I was using the "OOTP Classic" skin. Now whenever I try to load OOTP, it'll freeze if I previously exited the game using any skin other than OOTP Modern. When I attempt to re-start OOTP after the game froze, I get the message that crash flag is set and graphics reset to default. The game will load fine after that, but I really hate to have to keep re-setting my skin every time I load up the game.

Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone have any ideas?

Can you delete the skin.bin file in each of the skin directories on your machine - it will be in Program Files\Out Of The Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 9\data\skins

And see if that solves the issue - it will need to rebuild the skin the first time you use it.
