WARNING – POTENTIALLY MAJOR PROBLEM DISCOVERED

 

2/8/2006

We have just been notified of a potentially major problem with the League archiving utilities of Version 11 CD-ROM Baseball.  Please do not use the Delete League, Backup League or Restore League functions in the game without patching! 

 

Problem Description – Unintended file loss can result if the Delete League, Backup League or Restore League function is used with an un-patched version of the game, but only in extremely rare circumstances. 

 

Reason for the problem – The problem appears to be caused by a “Release Only” quirk of the compiled program, which causes the Operating System to return an inaccurate list of files to be deleted. 

 

Problem Solution – While the bug is extremely rare (we have only one report of the problem) it is potentially dangerous.  Therefore, you should immediately apply patch 11.01a.  After applying this patch be sure to check that the version number is listed as Version 11.01a on the Help / About dialog.

 

Please Note - This bug is the only problem addressed in patch 11.01a.  No other code has changed – we are releasing this as a stand-alone fix for this particular problem because of the dangerous nature of the bug.
