nine_iron Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) I am getting the same error. I wonder if we both did something similar and this has messed things up a little.

Not changed anything that would direcly affect European competitions that I am aware of. I think its a change that worked before but does not work now. I am guessing a rebuild from scratch may be in order BUT I have about 200 backup files so my plan is to go back and see if I can get any to work. Might save a days work but take a couple hours to do.

MRC Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) I have the same issue, really, despite not directly messing with the competitions. It may have to do with an additional nation in Europe, but I fail to see the logic behind this. But I think that's the thing we have in common - or it's messed up when switching to advanced rules to begin with. For me, I made I custom nation in Europe by bringing Ireland pre-1922 back to life. Got the error message that the CL found 77 teams but only needed 76 from rankings - I looked into the registered teams (also because I wanted to replace the exact teams), and by default there are 78 teams registered. Taking one out and only having 77 registered (even though it's one less than by default) was enough to get rid of that error, but afterwards the one posted here followed - stage 3 of the Europa League only finding 11 team when it needs 32 teams. Registered teams by default are 21 - which happens to be the difference, although that may be coincidential since the issue only shows up in stage 3. Edit: And mind you, this issue is showing up on a database entirely built after the 23.4. update as well. Edited May 8, 2023 by MRC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just when editing advanced rules that this problem occurs. Everything else works fine- as if it were previous editions of FM - until advanced rules are engaged, but it's, for me, only really the smallest of changes with advanced rules.

Wolf_pd Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 It’s way too late here, but I drank too much cola so I can’t sleep. I am away for the weekend so can’t check my idea before Monday, but I think I might have a solution. It isn’t a pretty one, but could work. It’s based on what I thought out to fix an issue in FM22, which in the end turned out to be a different issue anyway. It would involve having to add a second file to your own build file though and could have some unintended side effects which I obviously haven’t been able to check yet. Step 1: is to delete the offending competition, so delete the Europa League from the competitions table. If my thought process is correct, the verification of your file should now work. Step 2: Ensuring that the Europa League is added back and is connected back into all European Leagues. Create a new file (so not a new version on your competition file!) Make sure that you have the European leagues available to edit in advanced rules. And make that ALL of them are there, Champions League, Conference League, Europa League, Super Cup. Now, create a copy of the existing Europa League competition. Make sure to make them exactly the same (a duplicate will normally not copy all exact data). Rename the original Europa League to Europa League Old and the new duplicate version to Europa League New Now comes the tricky part, you have to replace all references to Europe League Old with Europa League New, in all the European Cups. If you have done this, delete the Europa League Old and try to verify the file. When verified, rename Europa League New. This should not throw up an error (no guarantee btw…), but if an error is thrown up, you have all relevant competitions in one file to start problem hunting. This is obviously different to the situation in the competition file you fixed before. If everything works and is verified, you have quite a bit of testing to do. And yes, I do realise this is quite a bit of work, but this is complex stuff I am afraid. In the end there is one ‘but’ that can ruin the whole stuff (and that’s why I have added the quite a bit of testing), it could be that same national competition directly refer to the old Europa League via a link in one of their competitions. Then it’s a dead end. When I get home I hope I can check it myself, but let that not stop anyone who thinks it can helpen themselves forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AQ Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Has anyone come up with a confirmed solution to this? I have the same error. In my Nation Rules, I see only two references to Europa League. I've tested the rules with each line deleted, and it's not made a difference. I don't see what might be impacting the Europa League. I've attached my file (in progress) if anyone wants to look.

AQ Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I've started testing the solution suggested by @Wolf_pd. Step 1 worked: Deleting the Europa League resulted in me being able to verify rules for the top division. I have questions on step 2.

So you're saying to edit a second file with an active Europa League that I can load into the game when I load my own competitions? What's the most efficient way to replace all references to the old Europa League with a new one? Are you suggesting that I manually add new rules for every nation, or is this just with one file of Continental Cup Rules that has a new Europa League? Thanks!

Wolf_pd Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 In step 2, you have to activate the Europa League (and the other European Cups as well) and edit them. Most efficient way is by going through the various cup competitions. Don't see any more efficient way. You don't have to add new rules for every nation at first. First edit the Europa League and the other ones, test if it works in game. Btw, can you all say which nations you were editing, because I am wondering whether there is any logic behind them.

AQ Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Sure, I was working with Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Wales. When I ran into the error with Scotland nation rules, I was pretty close to done with my editing. After I started over again using Ireland nation rules, I hit the error again during early tests of the leagues but before I got to editing the cups and cleaning out excess files from the rules. So there's still editing to do on that. If you're curious, I've attached the most recent files for each of them. Notes on the files: Celtic Leagues 1.482: This is the earlier attempt, using Scotland nation rules. Ireland test 1.28: This is the second test, using Ireland nation rules, and it's right before I deleted the Europa League. Ireland test 1.29: Same project with Ireland nation rules, just after I deleted the Europa League. Thanks for taking a crack at this. I'm up for helping test and figure it out, but I'm not sure I have it in me to edit all those nations' cups due to the amount of time and level of expertise it probably takes, so I'm hopeful we can figure out a quicker way. (Note: My level editing is probably intermediate. I understand the Advanced Rules, but I'm no expert.) 1. Ireland test 1.28 - delete comps.fmf a - Celtic Leagues 1.482 - test Europa League fix.fmf 1.

AQ Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Another test: I downloaded the merged Belgium-Dutch league here: I loaded the original FM23 database (not the updates), then the data file for the BeneLiga. All files began as verified. I then went in and edited the league to make it so each game wasn't decided by penalties. (A fun wrinkle, I'm sure, but not one I wanted to play.) Then I tested and got the same Europa League error. Penny for your thoughts, @Wolf_pd or anyone else who's interested.

Yeah, that's probably the most relevant question, when was the file tested/released and against which databaseversion. There are two lines of thoughts I have right now, one, it has to do with specific nations, which means that if you edit one of those nations things with assigning teams to the Europa League go wrong (essentially maing it a teamcount issue). That would explain that some people report their files work. The second looks to be the more logical casem which is that SI broke the Europe League.

More thoughts: I wonder if the problem could be connected to the change in Europa League rules in 2024. There are two unique sets of rules for Europa League in Advanced Rules, one for 2021, another for 2024. There are multiple bug reports about the Europa League ceasing to exist in later saves. The editor is not reading the 21 registered teams when populating the Europa League's group stage (stage 3). One registered team (Hearts) was from the leagues I edited for my own project, while two were from the leagues affected by the BeneLiga custom database I also tested with changes. I cleared the database changes on Hearts to see if it made a difference (had to remove them from a division to set them back to Scotland). It had no apparent effect. (I also tried clearing the registered teams, just for the heck of it, and that did nothing productive either, which admittedly I expected.) I've started messing with the final step you recommended, @Wolf_pd, but I'm nowhere near through it yet. There's a difference in the Advanced Rules between Europa and Champions Leagues: Under Teams/Qualified Teams, the first box is not checked for All Qualified Teams Play in Competition for Europa League, but it is for Champions League. Could this be the problem? Anyone else have any thoughts or progress? @nine_iron? @MichielVM? @MRC? @BlackFerdinand? (Note: I'd love to see the Cambs/Lincs database working. I just moved from Lincs to Cambs, traded one promoted team in my last town for one relegated in the new town. ) Edited July 22, 2023 by AQ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even ways to force files to verify have failed, as this could possibly be used in conjunction with the modified euro competition file to fix the error. Unless SI can allow us to force verification we are all a bit stuck. I am working on a non-advanced rules file for fun to play between now and FM25.

Samuel77 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 It's really strange because for the same file done differently I don't get the same result.

Since that nation not being run in the test, it doesn't deliver the team to the competition. Only issue is that I don't have a clue which nations that could be.

themodelcitizen Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Does it happen to run on any Champions League qualifying dates? Or alter that in any way (possibly not sending enough teams)?

Samuel77 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Yes, it's possible. It looks something like this.

Samuel77 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I'm not sure it's a problem of date, as it also works by adding a ranking phase. Well, I'm relieved because the same thing works fine in FM24. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorITA Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 It's really late since fm24 is out, but I think I fixed it! I removed all the teams from registered teams in Europe league, verified and got this time champions league error. So I removed all the registered teams from there too but this time I casually wanted to check better the teams, so I saved the file and reverted back the changes.
