Just follow the directions the commish put out. It works. I just did it yesterday. You probably aren't putting in your settings file and it sounds like you need to get file from the website.

Try what Shane said. If your still having problems, talk to Tim. He was a trooper who went through this battle.

still stuck on 12/1 can anyone help me....i love how we just move along and people cant get the file to work. I try to update and says there no file there. I have installed the settings folder into the the league. I think I may just leave as it seems like what the commish wants since I get no help and we just keep rolling forward. I havent got it to work in 2.5 weeks. So no Free agents for me, no rule five draftees. How am I post to compete when I cant get a fair chance at players.
PS - second off-season in a row with this same damn problem! Also I see I am not the only GM with this problem! So Why do we keep simming forward with GM having file problems?

I cant get the file to work...it says its corrupt. I know how to download and install the file. Anyone get the file to work? I honestly don't know how to help you. As stated you know how to download and install the file. The instructions are posted at the beginning of this thread....90% of us were successful in getting the file up. I don't honestly see how you think Derek should stop simming until you can get your file up? I don't see you online that often...in which my only conclusion is that you don't really care that much about being competitive..... I hate to be an ass but I guess I'm a bit annoyed....plus if a dumb ass railroad worker like me can get this done (enough said)!

Have you seen the amount of help that has been given to GMs who ask? As far as I know, it's you (apparently) and one other, who has had a lot of help and even posted about how it showed how great the league is.

I understand you are frustrated. Keep in mind there are 32 GMs in the league almost all of which have gotten the file with no problem. At this point, your issue is probably related to you or your computer. The commish and other GMs have put in time to help those with file problems. At the end of the day, is it really fair to hold up 29 or 30 guys because 2 or 3 can't get it working?
We will help as much as we can, but we're not technical support. You have to accept that as we work through the issues there may be some negative consequences. OTOH, this league isn't going anywhere so it should be worth the effort.

Secondly just because I dont sign on AOL doesnt mean...i do not look at the league. I export every sim during the season for the last 3.5 seasons. I only missed exports last off-season and this one due to the switch of the server. Next time know your information before you try to badger someone! Plus I run my own league so I know how to exactly to install the league file. 1) You cant download "league file" on page bc the file is only 77 MB and if you click on starter file you get the whole file. Which is something that need to be fixed on the instruction part of this thread. 2) I installed the settings folder and images folder. 3) Is there an accountsdata file? PS - If i offended you! Oh well and sorry but you started it with your wise ass comments!

I know you run your own league you have made mention of it A FEW TIMES! That just makes it more impressive that you can't get this file to work properly!
So what would you do in your league if someone couldn't get the file to work and came on the forums a week and a half later wanting to take their ball home and leave??? While in the mean time 30 other guys were able to figure it out?
A) Hold the hand of the person that is sporadically complaining about his problems and risk loosing the entire population!
B) Push forward and hope he figures it out!
Derek has been bending over backwards to help Tim out....because he seems like he wants it to work! You just seem to jump on and say hey I know what I'm doing because I can run my own league but I can't seem to figure his out and if you don't cater to my needs I'm going to quit!
I don't know what you want us to do about it? The directions were explained everyone else is able to figure it out. We can't come to your house and load the file for you....sorry!
Yea I'm a jerk.....Oh well!

Lets clear a few things up....
1) If anybody in this league wants help, they get it. Whether its from me who does everything I can to make it work or other great active members of the league.
2) I actually cancelled a sim the other night so I could spend more time with Tim to try to get him up and running. We got the file to export but as I told him and this is not a critique but he needs to follow my direction 100% to a tee and I think he had so many different things running through his head to get this file working, he was getting a bit anxious and doing steps 1-2-3 when i wanted to do step 1. Won't criticize as I do the same thing often.
3) I really like people in this league and there is not one person who I said I wish would leave. In BLoA there was Jordan and at the end Ross. In PBL, I don't recall this ever being the case, even with that pain in the ass Nemo ;D
4) As a commissioner like yourself, I am sure you understand how it all works. Online gaming is a what have you done for me thing. You can sim every day for 2 years and if you take a week off without notice, half the league is gone. Now I got no problem delaying sims a few hours, skipping sims here and there but this brings me to my 5th point
5) How do I describe how to fix an issue differently when 93.7% of the league (30 out of 32) got it using my directions?
This does not mean I'm going to give up helping those who want the help, which Tim has show big time and you ONLY sporadically but I got to keep moving as well.
6) Really no excuse for not picking in Rule-V or even attempting free agent offers when the reports are updated daily and you could easily pm me interest in a player, I can give you his details and I can make offers for you. There are work arounds, for those who want to.
Not trying to come off harsh and I don't think I did in any manner but bottom line is I really can't stand the small group that fall under the 'I'll take my ball and go home' approach. Gaffer who had a great first season in Cincinnati did this and I was glad to see him off. As I said, I work too hard on this league and in real life to deal with it and the guys in this league work too hard as well listen to it too.
I see two options left:
1) If you want the help, lets work together and get it up and running. I think you got the Cubs going in the right direction and would love to see them win a World Series, which is now going on 115-years in the game.
2) Give up. Take your ball and go home if this is how you really feel.
I am hoping for #1 but I'm not begging anyone to stay around.
