League Won't Load Names File

[margoaepi]

I just joined an online league and I am having difficulty getting the league file to load. I am running Windows 7. I created a .lg file in the saved games file and have unzipped the league file into the .lg file. When I go to load saved game, it tells me that it cannot load names file. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you don't have all their base dats. See, an online league's update file only has files that have changed in the last sim and that doesn't include all the dats. You'll need either a full file or a base dats file like I like to call it.

By the way, just in case you really did mean you extracted the archive to a ".lg file" and not ".lg folder", it's supposed to be a folder, not a file.
