Every message you can meet while you upload, fill, and export entries, with the fix. Messages in the app that contain a long dash are shown here with a colon in its place.
Upload messages
"<file name>" is not a .csv file. : download the file again from the site.
"Could not find Entry ID column in CSV headers" / "Could not find Contest ID column in CSV headers" : the header row is missing a required column. Download a fresh, unedited file.
"CSV file must contain at least a header row and one data row" : enter a contest on the site, then download again.
"No contest entries found in CSV" : check that the file is the entries download and not a player list.
"This looks like a Yahoo entries CSV. Yahoo is not a supported site" : DFS Hero supports DraftKings and FanDuel only.
"This CSV looks like FanDuel, but this slate is DraftKings. Please upload a DraftKings entries CSV." / "CSV site (fanduel) does not match slate site (draftkings)" : the file and the slate belong to different sites. Open the slate for the file's site.
"This CSV has N entries. The app accepts up to 10,000 entries in one upload. Split the file by contest and upload each part." : split the file.
"This CSV has N row(s) the app cannot read as an entry or a player. Re-download the file from the site without editing it." : a row is malformed, often after a spreadsheet re-save. Download a fresh file.
"This slate no longer exists. Refresh and try again." : reload and pick the slate again.
"This slate is MLB, but the upload was sent for NFL. Re-open the slate and try again." : close and reopen the slate tab.
"This CSV has N lineup columns, but NFL lineups on this slate have M. It looks like a file for a different slate." : open the classic or showdown slate that matches the file.
"These entries belong to contests from a different slate. Open the matching slate and upload there." / "This slate's site is not supported for entries." : open a DraftKings or FanDuel slate that matches the file.
"The upload did not save. Your previous entries are unchanged. Try again in a moment." : upload again.
Contest and set messages
"N unmatched contest(s) from your entries" : click Add payout info and answer the dialog, or wait for DFS Hero to match the contest.
"Couldn't save the contest info. Your answers weren't stored, so the prompt will re-open on the slate." : answer again on the slate.
"Could not delete the entries" : check your connection and try again.
"Clear didn't reach the server" / "Your entries may reappear after a reload. Check your connection and try again." : the clear was applied on this device only. Try again.
"Build lineups to fill these entries, then export." : run a build.
"Locked to your uploaded entries." : the Entries Preview count follows the entries file. This is not an error.
"Locked to the entries of your simulated contests." : no entries file sets the count, because you have none or every entered contest has Fill off. The Entries Preview count follows the entry counts of the contests you simulated. This is not an error.
Fill messages
"Processing lineups..." : the panel is still loading the full pool. Wait.
"Replace these entries?" : the fill would replace a swap you made or lineups another build filled. The dialog names each contest and build. Click Fill N entries to replace them, or Cancel to keep them.
"Some entries repeat a lineup: the fill ran short of distinct lineups." : build more lineups, widen the Selection, or lower Min Uniques, then fill again.
"Games have started: filling is closed for this slate." : the slate passed its first lock, and late swap does not cover this slate. Your saved entries are unchanged. Export downloads them as they are.
"DraftKings captain ids are not available for this slate yet." : the captain ids arrive about a day before lock. Reload closer to lock and fill again.
"Entries changed on the server" : a swap, another fill, or another device updated this entry set first. Reload, then fill again if lineups are still missing.
"Entries were not filled: games have started" / "Player lock times could not be verified, so nothing was saved. Your entries were reloaded. Retry in a moment." : retry.
"Entries were not filled: a game locked mid-save" / "Nothing was saved. Your entries were reloaded. Fill again to write what is still open." : fill again.
"Fill didn't save to the server" : check your connection and fill again.
"Live Sync didn't save to the server" / "Check your connection, then press Fill." : your saved entries are unchanged. Check your connection and press Fill.
"Can't confirm saved entries" : a save failed, and DFS Hero could not read your saved entries back. Check your connection, then press Reload in the footer.
"Paused after export" : you exported, then changed the build. Live Sync waits so your uploaded file stays true. Press Fill to write the change and start Live Sync again. This is not an error.
"N entries were not filled: games started" / "Those entries keep their saved lineups. Use the Swap sheet to change entries after lock." : use the Swap sheet.
"N entries keep their saved lineup: games started" / "Those lineups hold a started player. Use the Swap sheet to change them after lock." : the other entries fill. Use the Swap sheet for these.
"Games have started: these lineups cannot fill." : every lineup holds a player whose game started or whose start time is unknown. Your saved entries are unchanged. Use the Swap sheet.
"No sim coverage data, using ROI" : re-simulate to restore Win Paths for that contest.
"Not enough lineups meet the uniques bar, rest backfilled" : build more lineups or lower the uniques count.
"No sim data yet, Balanced Exposure ranked by projection" : run a sim.
"No actuals loaded yet, following the Selection" : wait for real scores to load.
"N entries repeat a lineup. The pool is short." / "Min/Max caps are not enforced for this contest, its allocation repeats a lineup." : build more lineups.
"This contest allows <cap> entries per user." : the scenario's My Entries is capped at the contest's per-user limit. This is not an error.
"This contest is not filling" : switch the contest's Fill switch on in Contest Setup, or set a lineup as an entry by hand.
Export messages
"Export your saved entries?" : your saved entries differ from this build's preview. Click Fill, then export to write the preview first, or Export as saved to download the entries as they are. Closing the dialog downloads nothing.
"Exported your saved entries." / "Games have started, so the file holds your last fill." : the slate passed its first lock and has no late swap, so no fill runs. This is not an error.
"Your entries changed on the server and the refresh failed. Retry the export." : export again.
"DraftKings would reject N of these lineups" / "FanDuel would reject N of these lineups" : a lineup breaks a site roster rule. Those rows exported as you uploaded them. Fix the pool or the caps, fill again, and export again.
"No lineups to export" / "Every entry is blank or its lineup was refused by the site rules. Nothing was downloaded." : fill first.
"Export blocked: some players have no site player id" : fill again from a build on this slate. On a DraftKings captain slate, reload closer to lock.
"Export blocked: the game minimum failed" : a DraftKings classic NFL, CFB, NBA, CBB, WNBA, or MLB entry holds players from one game, or its players carry no game, so the game minimum was not checked. DraftKings rejects a lineup from one game, so nothing was downloaded. The description names the reason. Fill again from a build on this slate, then export again. When the game was not checked, reload the slate first.
"Export blocked: the generated file did not match your entries. Refresh and retry." : reload and export again.
"This file repeats lineups: N distinct lineup(s) across M filled entries." : the export still ran. Unless Duplicates allows repeats, build more lineups or lower Min Uniques, fill again, then export again.
"Your browser blocked the DraftKings tab." / "Your browser blocked the FanDuel tab." : click Open DraftKings or Open FanDuel in the toast.
"Exported your saved entries." / "Your lineups are still updating; the file holds the last fill." : the file holds the last saved fill.
"Your lineups are still updating." / "Retry the export in a moment. Nothing was downloaded." : wait, then export again.
"Entries are still out of sync. No file was downloaded." / "Retry the export once the fill completes." : wait for the fill, then export again.
"Export failed" / "No CSV was downloaded. Check your connection and try again." : try again.
"Next step on FanDuel" / "On a phone, FanDuel shows its CSV button only in landscape. Zoom out if it stays hidden." : a phone hint after a FanDuel export. This is not an error.
"Editing of non-DFS source lineups is not supported" : a DraftKings message on its upload page. Export again from a fill on this slate and upload that file.
