Career Mode Creation Issue (SOLVED)

Hello all,
Relative newbie here. I recently bought the Pro Football 2022 release on stream but I'm not having any luck starting a league.

I try starting a league through career mode, with default settings and rosters, and I receive a simple "error" message. When I am returned to the home page, I can go to the load screen and select the league, but when I try to load it, I receive this message:

Error loading league: Could not find file 'C:\Users\Gaming PC\Documents\Wolverine Studios\DDSPF 2022\Leagues\NFL\NFL.tmp'.


It seems to be a file is being saved or created elsewhere, or is missing entirely. I've tried re-installing the program, twice, and trying to create another league. But it keeps happening.

Any idea on how to fix this?

I appreciate any help.

Typically this is either onedrive attempting to sync files in which case you can turn off syncing of those folders, or it's something like avast, mcafee, or norton blocking the ability to read/write from that folder. Allowing that as an exception in those apps will help. Other ideas and troubleshooting tips are at https://wolverinestudios.freshdesk.com/ ... 4000306360

I suddenly have the same issue. I have had it in the past and always figured it out. I have One Drive turned off completely and have added exceptions to antivirus. I was able to create leagues until just a few days ago. Is there any other possible place to look for an issue?

Sheesh..I'm brilliant. After messing around for an hour the fix was as simple as Run as Administrator

If the onedrive issue or avast isn't doing this, I'll try running as administrator myself. Will report back...

Thanks Brooks,

I'll try these fixes, and also try running as administrator, and will report back afterwards.

Hello All,

So, it turns out that it was Avast (antivirus) that was causing the issue. I tried making an exception for the game itself, but that didn't work; what DID work however was going to the specific location listed in the error. In documents>Wolverine Studios, I selected the entire file and made it an exception. Seems to be working so far.
