First time submitting an issue, so apologies if I am missing anything but happy to include whatever else is needed.

Hmm! Can you run library(nflreadr) and then paste sessionInfo() again?

[rplainsw]

Restarting R session...

Hmm, it looks like qs isn't installed properly on your machine... what happens with install.packages("qs")?

[rplainsw]

I installed library(qs), still not working. Is that the only one with qs? I've tested several of the other funcitons, load_pbp() is the only one not working. They warning message is still the same.

[tanho63]

Hmm, I'm surprised it let you install the package with qs being broken.

You can work around this by specifying rds:

nflreadr::load_pbp(seasons = 2020, file_type = "rds")

or using

options(nflreadr.prefer = "rds")

and then running load_pbp()

[rplainsw]

Thank you that works! Not sure what is up with qs, it didn't work on another machine either

[tanho63]

Great!

I am having the same issue running nflreadr::load_pbp(1999:2022) for each year. A colleague of mine is able to run successfully. I followed all steps above but I am still receiving the same error.
