coxy100 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi guys playing Fifa 18 for the first time since December. I have a player who has a blank biography. It just says “this player does not have a biography yet”. Is that a bug or is that normal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 FIFA 18? Are you sure that's what you're playing? How old is the player and how many appearances have they made? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 If you are playing FM 18, are you using a custom database? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxy100 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Haha sorry yes football manager yes its it’s a custom database - it has all of the recent transfers (downloaded from Steam) and I also edited this particular players PA (increased it) the player is Trent Alexander Arnold at Liverpool - he had 7 appearances in the last season history.

FrazT Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 If you have edited the player in question, it seems likely that this may be the cause of the missing biography. I suspect that it would be best for you just to live with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that it would be best for you just to live with it. I edited quite a few players though (always do their injury proneness and sometimes their PA) but he is the only player who has no biography. All I did was his injury proneness and PA - why would that affect the biography? Will one magically appear? Might have to start a new save and try again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 On reflection, it could be due to an antivirus or cleaning programme cleaning the temp folder where player histories are stored. I doubt that it will reappear, but it would be best to ensure that nothing is sweeping the game while it is running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only just started the season so I'll probably just start the game and see what happens this time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxy100 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 hi FrazT - I 'went on holiday' for a month and there was a biography when the game resumed - so will keep playing normally and hopefully it will appear after a month then! Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, is it for caching to increase the I/O performance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Just now, talhak said: Are there stored in a temp folder? Not that I am aware of.. If so, is it for caching to increase the I/O performance? I cant be 100% sure for this version, but they certainly were in previous versions and were susceptible to particularly cleaning programmes, which cleared temp files on a regular basis. Maybe this has been changed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this has been changed? Yeah, as you also said, most cleaning programs do regularly delete the files and folders which are marked as "temporary" by the operating system. Even operating systems provide their own solutions for that. So even though it may improve the information retrieval performance in term of elapsed time, it may cause side effects. Actually, me too commonly use cleaning programs, and have not experienced any problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxy100 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 sorry to bump this.... but the biography never reappeared. So it did if I ran a holiday for a month....but not normal gameplay. Also, I started a new career game with the January 18.3.0 database (but no customs) and even on that his biography was missing. Could someone create a new game with the January database to see if it's just me? (the player is Trent Alexander Arnold at Liverpool) thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
