weird...my History page doesn't have the same options across the top as yours does. I don't have "champions", "Hall of Fame", and all that.

Well, that's a brand new game, so it's not a matter of the screen appearing only if somebody is approaching a milestone. Also, I turned off commissioner mode to see if that was it; nothing changed.

When you click Game, OOTP Main Screen, do you see Version 8.0.0.xx (xx being 12 if you have the latest update) in the lower left corner? Because if not, maybe your game did not update properly from OOTP 2007. That's all I can think of, sorry.

yup, its 8.0 something or other.
oh well. at least I know i'm looking in the right place. I'll keep poking around. But thanks for the help.

Well, good luck. I would check back here in case somebody else knows something that we don't about why there would be a difference in the tabs available in the History screen. In the meantime, you might want to try uninstall/reinstall. If nothing else, Tech Support.

is this a new league started in 8 or an inported league from 2007. Could there be an issue with seeing the new feture in converted leagues?

koohead · 12-14-2007, 01:07 PM

copied 2007 .lg folder into data/saved games in the ootp8 install directory.
don't know if I have to regenerate html or something??

Good point, zeke. But he's saying that he does not have other tabs that were in OOTP 2007 on that page, IIRC. Let's see what he says now.

Oops, he already did say. You should be able to copy over OOTP 2007 leagues into OOTP 8 with no problems like this one, though.

At this point, I would leave that game there (make sure you have a backup), uninstall and reinstall OOTP 8 and see what happens. Uninstalling does not wipe the data folder, so just make sure it either was the default path or that you point the game to it once it is reinstalled. Then start it up again and see what you got.

koohead · 12-14-2007, 01:24 PM

Will give that a try and let you know. thanks

koohead · 12-15-2007, 08:16 PM

Well, uninstalling and reinstalling and recopying the lg folder over seemed to fix it. no idea what I did wrong the first time though. haven't seen this issue posted by any others so I have to assume it was something I did wrong.
thanks for the help gents.

That's great! Now if the dang-blasted thing is actually working properly, we'll be all set.
