Unknown Last Names - for owners, not commissioner

Sabermetric Baseball · 01-18-2010, 06:32 PM

I run a standard online OOTP X league. So far, we have not had any problems with the league file and I have no reason to suspect the data integrity has been compromised.

We recently reached the Amateur Draft. On my computer, all of the amateurs show up with their correct names. These players also have the correct names on the league HTML reports.

However, *every* owner is reporting that about 33 of the amateurs have "unknown" in place of their last name when they open the draft pool in the game. I have attached a screenshot provided by one of the owners as an example at the bottom of this message.

We are all using the same version of the game. Both Vista and XP users are affected with the issue.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is this an OOTP bug, or something that I am causing? Is the data corrupt, or is this simply aesthetic?

Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

did you include the names.dat when creating your league file?

that is the only thing I can think of.

I didn't even think of that! I did change to the new Lahman 2009 database, so I bet that changes the names.dat file and I know I'm not including it with the league file upload. We have a sim tomorrow night, so I'll keep you updated on how it goes. Appreciate this a lot!

That seems to have done the trick, thanks again Jaxx!
