Can't start new major league game

blackie270 · 06-25-2009, 07:31 PM

When trying to start a new game with the major league option I receive a message saying that world data can't be loaded. It takes me to the initial setup page (player name, nationality, birthdate, etc) and from there I can't choose a team. Even starting unemployed doesn't help as I can't choose a team from there either. I can still load my previously started major league game but so far can't start a new one (I don't want to start a custom league with fictional players). Hoping for an easy fix here...

Thanks for your post, and sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The first few weeks after the release are always pretty busy around here!

Is it possible that you did something that may have messed with the quickstart folder on your machine? The Major League relies on the folder "quickstart_games/Majors.quick".

It should be easy enough to fix by uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Doing so shouldn't delete any of your saved games, but it never hurts to back up any games that are important to you before doing so!
