Computer turned itself off while OOTP was running, now OOTP crashes

Ultimately though, my calmer head prevailed, and I finally found a solution to the problem.

Step 1) Uninstall OOTPX.
Step 2) Move the folders left over where OOTPX normally installs on your computer somewhere else (I saved them in a new folder called OOTP Backup).
Step 3) Reinstall

This should fix things for you. Once I made sure everything was running, I moved the save file of my franchise over and was able to resume right where I left off. No crashes, and that was two seasons ago. I hope that helps.

Will try that.

Edit, that seems to work for now, thanks.

No problem. I'm just glad to hear it worked for you. I don't get why the whole game would get corrupted like that, but it seems to fix whatever is corrupting it.
