Possible Problem

Red Blow · 11-10-2002, 10:50 PM

Not a bug... just a problem with compatability.

I am a commish. I have not yet upgraded. Superstition prevents me from doing it until the end of the season.

Some of my owners have upgraded. Two of my owners have told me in the last few days that none of their rosters have shown the changes they are making. One of them has installed the patch. I am waiting to hear from the other to see if he has.

Anyone else experiencing this?

We FTP the rosters.

Have used the newest version for awhile w/o any problems of this type. In several leagues I am the only one with the updates.

The different versions of the game (OOTP4/STB2003), patched and pre-patched (v4.1, v4.2, & v4.2a) worked together perfectly during testing and now in the 5 leagues I am in.

This problem has not gone away. Let me be more specific in descrbing it.

Computer- 450AMD K6, 256 RAM (no hardware changes/upgrades since buying the game)

Game- OOTP4 4.1

League- 20 team fictional, 2 leagues, 3-4-3 division format, second season.

The owners have FTP'd their rosters to me all season long with zero problems until this week. Some are using OOTP4.x, some are using STB2003.x

I log all team exports on the web site by listing the files there via WS_FTP. I then start the game, go to the Online League Options screen and select Import All Teams From FTP Server". I have not changes anything in regards to the FTP settings. I get the progress bar, no error messages... nothing different from before.

After the exports are imported via FTP I sim, then zip up the changed files and post both the league.zip and the web pages (Generate Report) the game makes.

Several owners in the league have informed me that their changes are not showing up in either the league file or on the web pages. These are owners that had no problems before a week ago.

I can think of nothing I am doing that is different. I have not had any game crashes, pc crashes, and have not even CAD'd in almost a month.

Tomorrow I will try downloading the FTP'd exports to a local directory and importing them one by one to see if it works better.

Is there anything anyone can see that I am doing wrong? Is there anything that could be causing this? I feel I have recreated the error... but I know that it could be something unique to my machine.
