OOTP Baseball:Setup and Support/Technical Support/OOTP found that the crashed on startup flag is set

When OOTP detects that the game had issues starting, it will pop up with this error message. In this case, a few settings will be automatically reverted to the defaults. If further issues persist, there may be other steps to potentially resolve the issues.

Automatically Reset Options

The options that are automatically reset will be the default window size, whether the app starts in full-screen mode, and the default skin. These options can be reset in the preferences dialog in the entry screen if desired.

Further Debug Options

If the game still cannot open, or displays a blank or black screen still, there may be issues with other graphical settings that you can attempt to correct.

• Editing the OpenGL mode
  • If you add opengl_mode=2 to your application command-line, this will alter the way that the game displays items on-screen
• Disabling the entry screen cards display
  • If you add noentry3d to your application command-line, this will stop the render of the on-screen card effects, if those are causing problems with your system
• Reset your graphics driver
  • On windows, you can use the Windows Key + Ctrl + Shift + B to reset your graphics driver, which may correct issues if it is an unreliable state
  • Alternately, you may want to update your graphics driver, in case a new version has corrected issues
• Restart your machine
  • Some issues can be resolved by restarting your machine, and returning to a clean configuration
• Re-Install OOTP
  • On Steam, you may want to re-verify your local files. Or potentially re-installing the game, in case there was a corrupt file causing an issue locally with starting the game.

Adding items to the command line

For the standalone on PC find the ootp27.exe, then right click and Create Shortcut. Now in the shortcut, in the Target: field at the end you can add a space and then each launch option (please try one at a time to see which if either help). And of course make sure you launch the app via the shortcut.

For Mac standalone, I believe the way you add launch options is

• Open Terminal (via Spotlight or Applications/Utilities).
• Navigate to the app's executable file inside the .app bundle. Something like
• /Applications/ootp27.app/Contents/MacOS/ootp27
• Run the app with arguments using this structure:
• ./Applications/ootp27.app/Contents/MacOS/ootp27 --your-argument
• and replace your_argument with noentry3d, and if that doesn't work try opengl_mode=2
