So, after my previous OOTP difficult I got a new license key, but when I try to download/export OOTP it doesn't work. I deleted all the old files and downloaded the new ones so now my game file is current, but I can't export (I get a 201 Connect Error) and when I click on download latest league file it says that it can't open archive file.

201 is usually an internet connection error. Try grabbing the last gm_accounts file (in this thread?) @njherdfan

Hi all, annoying noob here. I'm on a Mac and for some reason, I cannot load Brewster in OOTP20.

I got through steps 1-4 in the first post, and then with this step:
5. Open OOTP 20, load Brewster, and then close OOTP 20.

That is where I got stuck. I open OOTP 20, but Brewster doesn't exist in the game even though it plainly does in my "saved_games" folder. I'm flummoxed as to what I could be doing wrong.

I've tried looking on the OOTP forums and that was no help. Could anyone nudge me in the right direction?

Probably a MAC thing, I think the instructions were for a PC. Needs somebody with a MAC?

Hey John,

Make sure the name on the file in saved games has the .lg at the end.That ensures it will appear in the list.

It should look like this.

Thank you! Unfortunately I do have the .lg suffix on mine and it does not show up in the list. I even changed it to lowercase like it appears in the photo here, and no dice.

Switch to OOTP21 is complete! See top post for instructions, or use the Quick Start Code I emailed each of you.

I did it manually and followed the steps in the first post which seems to work, but I didn't get the chance to respond to team options, I don't think.

Also make sure you have the most recent build (21.3.54) so your next export takes.

Apologies if I am missing something obvious -- followed the instructions, got the league and .dat file setup, but not seeing my name on the GM list to log in. Any steps I missed to set up my account?

Will we be using the "Quick-Join Online League" option in OOTP sometime? It could make things a million and forty times easier for new members.

I think we've tried it without success in the past but it's probably worth discussing again.
