Season Gone, settings wont change....
Ok i really enjoy this game but since the most recent roster update my RBI hasnt worked. my season has disappeared (90 games in), ok fine i can deal with that ill start over. i go to start over and realized the games not even saving any settings anymore. so not only have i mysteriously lost my season but now the game isnt going to save any of my settings? i've emailed mlb.com about this i expect to not hear anything back about this as my experience with game makers is they dont really give a rats rearend unless alot of people are having the same issues. unless or until i hear back here or from my email i will just not even bother to attempt to load rbi 2015 because its well and truly BROKEN.

so for those of you who have rbi working have fun. for those of you having issues make some noise so that maybe these issues get addressed.

Hi Darth, thanks for the feedback. If anyone else on here has an issue like this after the latest patch, please let me know on this thread. In the meantime, I will look into whether there's any reason we know of this could have occurred. My impression (and hope) is that your season file still exists, but the game is not able to read it for some reason. Are you using Windows or Mac?

Also, you mentioned that settings won't save at all. However, are you able to save a new season? To test this out, you'd just have to go into season mode and start a game, then pick "save and quit" and it should have you saved right at the beginning of that game.

first off, ty for responding, i didnt expect any response. second ive had rbi15 for about a month now im not trying to start a new season im trying to find my original season. i went to play my season picking up at the all star game and the game prompts me to start a new season.

as for the setting i start game up i go into settings i attempt to change settings and NOTHING CHANGES. settings say they're changed but nothing in game changes its stuck in 640x480 and i refuse to play anything that looks that much like crap. i havent even bothered to try to start rbi15 because i know it doesnt work.

to recap once again,
1)season gone
2)season gone
3)settings wont even change
4)settings wont even save

should i just request a refund?

Thanks for the response, and sorry you are having trouble with the game. Can you confirm for me if this is Windows or Mac? Also we'd like to know, did your Season disappear IMMEDIATELY after downloading the new roster update (this roster update first appeared on June 26), or did you download the update and play, and then at some point later the season disappeared? Thanks again for the help, hope we can sort this out!

it was a couple days after the last roster update - maybe 4 or 5 games worth to get me up to the all star game - i went to play the all star game july 6th and that was the first time i discovered that my season had just disappeared. i 'gave up' for a couple days and played other stuff then id say about the 10th i went to play again just to see if it was working and my season had returned (i have no idea how/why this happened) i then played my all star game and the following 3 games. next time i came back to rbi to play season was gone again and this is when the settings in game stopped responding/working. i can go into settings and change the settings but the game itself doesnt actually change to new settings. seemingly, my rbi is now stuck in 640x480 resolution - i cant change my favorite team (i HATE the giants and any other NL west team aside from my Rockies) - and i havent even tried to play the last few days.

to answer your other question i am running windows 7 intel core duo2 e8400 cpu @3.0g 4gig of ram 2gig video.

i recently got a 1TB hard drive and have been slowly working on moving my "non OS" programs to my new drive and off my C drive. if there isnt a fix to be had to 'ressurect' my season again my next plan is to uninstall rbi and then reinstall to my new steam games folder on my new drive. been pondering doing this anyway to see if it actually will just fix the game but i kinda would like to get my 89-1 season back LOL.

thank you nathant_MLB for responding and helping out with this issue, and i appologize for my frustration in my previous reply.

Thanks Darth! We definitely don't want you to have to leave the Giants as your favorite team so that doubles the priority. :)


I want to check for the actual save file first of all. Can you please look in your User directory\Documents\my games\RBIBaseball and let me know if your season save data called "rbi" is there? If it's there, I'll probably have you send it to me, at least to confirm whether your 89-1 season still exists.

Also, if you see "options" in that same folder, that would be your user settings. If you see it, please check the date modified for me.

FYI unfortunately we are starting from scratch here, because your report is the first time I heard of an issue quite like this.
rbi, options, rosters files all found in the folder you mentioned. now im just hoping these files hold the info for my disappeared season.

ok options was last modified july 14. this was basically the last time i attempted to even launch rbi to try and see if it was working. at which point it gave me the option of 25 man or classic 16 rosters when i selected play/season from the menu. at which point i exited and havent been in rbi since.

just lemme know where you want things sent.

Hey, can you please send the options and rbi files to gamecreport@mlb.com? I should be able to tell you pretty soon whether I see your saved season.

If the options was modified on July 14, that means that the settings you changed at least tried to store themselves in this file.. .but then they were not loaded correctly for some reason.

i have sent not only the rbi and options file i also sent along the rosters file, as i noticed it was modified 6/21 and i know there was a roster update on 6/26 so figured maybe something borked there.

thanks for your time

Hi Darth,

Good news is, I was able to load up your season file and continue your series against the Padres without an issue -- you were actually 90-1. So this means your season exists and should be retrievable no matter what. As a next step, I would copy the save file "rbi" out somewhere safe, (like your desktop), completely uninstall RBI, and then reinstall in the new location you wanted. Once you do this, start a new season, and then overwrite it by copying your save file back into the save directory.

Let me know what happens. Since I was able to load up your season with no problem, I don't see why this wouldn't work. Another possibility is that there's something wrong with the read/write permissions on that save folder, but we can deal with that later if necessary. Thanks for your patience!

By the way, here is some info about moving the default steam installation, if you haven't already checked this out: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129
ok giving this a try. hope it works :) will let you know. thank you for the quick help. much appreciated.
Just tried fresh clean install of rbi - saved a copy of my rbi save file and copied over - sadly unless i misread a step my season still wont load, not even in the 640x480 settings i seem stuck with now - even with a fresh install of game. going to try another restart of system. sadly, rbi seems to be the only game (steam or otherwise) i play thats giving me any issues. recently got a new computer too. gonna keep trying tho. any info that might be needed, let me know.

One more question -- did you try deleting this folder completely (but saving your rbi file), then start a new season in the game and then copy in your rbi file? As I said, something seems wrong with the folder, but maybe if you delete the entire folder and then start a new season, the game will correctly recreate this folder from scratch.

i did try this. started a new season (major issue now is game seems stuck in 640x480 resolution no matter what i do) started a game and exited and saved. went to copy my rbi file into the proper folder and it wasnt recreated. so now im not even sure whats going on. i uninstalled off my c drive reinstalled on my e drive - so its a clean install of the game. i will try again later tonight after work.

i honestly dont know what else to do at this point aside from write off the purchase price and move on. i dont really want to, and maybe it will be fixed in the future, but for now i think i'll timewalk and play one of my older baseball games.

Hi Darth, thanks for trying these steps. I understand your frustration and we will figure this out for you. In your last note you said "You did try this", which involved starting a new season and then copying the rbi file in.

However what I wanted to confirm is if you've actually tried *deleting* the "my games" folder from your user directory and then starting a new season. When you uninstall RBI, this folder stays where it is (just tried it on my Mac), so I think you would have to delete this manually.

I want to make sure the game has the opportunity to recreate this folder from scratch. Then if you've tried this and there's still a problem, I will discuss it with the programmers. Based on the fact that your save data works on my computer, I'm sure we can get your season back. Thanks for your patience!
i did in fact delete the rbibaseball folder from the 'my games' directory. said folder never came back even after trying to start a new season. started up the first game and selected "exit and save". went and looked in the my games folder to see if it had been recreated and it had NOT come back. i actually just backed up the entire rbibaseball folder before my uninstall/reinstall so i still actually have the "original" save files.

what i did:
1) backed up RBIbaseball folder in the "my games" directory.
2) uninstalled RBI from my C (older smaller hd)
3) reinstalled RBI to my new TB hd
4) started RBI baseball (still stuck in 640x480 res and no settings change)
5) i deleted the new RBIbaseball folder from the my games, started game saved a game in progress and exited to find the folder had not come back as expected.

so as of yesterday RBI is kinda sorta installed (missing the 'my games' folder entirely now unless i copy my old one back in) and kina sorta works (i can change settings in game to my hearts content) however none of the settings actually change and the previously, many times, mentioned 640x480 resolution just hurts my eyes.
