Importing historical league crash

SupaFlyball · 05-12-2004, 09:28 PM

Sorry if this has been answered, I browsed and didn't find much on it.
Just downloaded the game and the database, when I try and import a historical league (I unzipped the file to the default directory, C:/stats), leaving everything at the default (no manager, year 1977), and the advanced options, it gives me the following error:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: ...gram files\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP 6\OOTP6.exe
Abnormal Program Termination

Everything else seems to be working fine, although I haven't been playing for long. I'm running XP on an eMachine with a Celeron processor and 256 MB RAM, about 5 gigs on the hard drive. Thanks for any help.

OK, check that, apparently now I can't play anything at all. Every time I try to start any league under any conditions it gives me the same error. It doesn't even start to create it, as soon as I press the create league button it crashes. I turned off 3d and sound options as well as downloaded and installed the latest DirectX. I have no screen savers running. Any help please.

I'm havng the same problem. See my thread here.

Nothing resolved yet, maybe there is something common between our setups that might be a culprit? What are your complete system specs?

Have either of you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game in a totally different directory?

Hi Steve-

I've uninstalled and tried different directories and drives, still no luck.

Is there another method I could use to debug this? I appreciate your help and would love to help nail this one.

I uninstalled and reinstalled to C:\ootp and, suddenly, it works! I've only loaded one league and haven't really started playing yet, but getting this far is a victory in itself. Maybe you should try that. If the problem arises again I'll post and let you know. Thanks for the help.

Well interesting...

I decided to really poke around the processes running in the backround and think I've found the problem.

I run Kaspersky Antivirus but diasble it before playing games. In fact, I never leave it running in the backround and only fire it up when I need to run a scan.

Sems that it leaves a process running in the backround even if you have the av program disabled. It's also a process you can't kill.

I uninstalled Kaspersky and tried to run an import from 1914 and.. No crash! So for now at least things appear to be normal.
