MP File Opening Problem

[flere-imsaho]

I've started having a problem with my MP game with the SFL.

Here's what happens:

1. I open FOF.

2. I click on the "Multiplayer" icon.

3. I click on the "Open" icon.

4. I get the following error message:

"Unable to create multi-player stage file. Data will not be saved. Please restart your system and/or make more room on your hard drive before trying again."

After this I can get into the game, and do regular in-game actions, but I can't export a stage file. When I try, I get the following error message:

"Unable to find multi-player stage file. Data will not be saved. Please restart your system and/or make more room on your hard drive before trying again."

For reference, I'm using Windows XP, SP2. I have more than enough room on my hard drive.

Troubleshooting I've attempted (and failed at):

1. Restart system.

2. Delete everything in "leagues" folder (there go all my CFL box scores...), re-create "Q" file, re-download and unpack SFL current file.

I've also tried variations of removing the league files specific to the SFL, but that's all subsumed in the "nuclear option" - #2.

No dice. Any ideas?

Corrupt SFL stage file?

Wasn't there a guy posting about having trouble with a SFL file a few days ago? Or a week ago?

Or am I seeing the future in my sleep again?

The league as a whole had this problem 2 stages ago. At the time I was able to fix the problem by deleting every file in my "leagues" folder that started with the league ID #.

That isn't working this time. Also, I appear to be the only one affected this time.
