I just wanted to add to the things that work on this as I was having the same problem, crashing all the time with just the db, which was an fm23 editor file verified and edited some more in the fm24 editor. Anyhows, I created a vanilla unchanged fm24 editor file and loaded that in game as well as mine and worked perfectly. Good luck to everyone else hope it works for you!

ah all great advice never thought of those, thanks

thanks and yes have done most of that already the main problem is them getting sacked so I think I'll also try putting some starting generic chairmen in and make the manager a favourite person that might help a bit

Morning all, as the subject says I'm having a nightmare trying to retain the computer controlled managers at their clubs in a 1946 First Division database I've created. I've currently tried all these solutions but I'm still losing 2 or 3 a year who are being replaced by some of the real world people that are still in the game: All on 20 year contracts All with 200 rep to discourage the boards replacing them All set as club legends / icons / favourite people All have their own fave club set to their existing one All have a future transfer set for 20 years forward to another club in same league (idea being to lock down any other moves in the meantime) All real world managers CA reduced to 40 so they aren't viable alternatives Any ideas? I'm at my wits end with it as everything is perfect for the immersion apart from when you see Stefan Effenburg turning up to manage 1946 Preston North End!

all sorted now thanks I just hadn't set the previous stage team numbers correctly

I think it's sorted now thank you. I had to get it to choose the best teams from the 4 previous leagues in the league stage with a max of 8 teams and it worked.

Hi there. I'm playing my WW2 English league structure DB and loving it but there is a bizarre registration issue that for the life of me I don't think I've caused as I never touched the advanced rules for this data file version and have just chose the single transfer windows as shown below, which are (top to bottom) an Aug all domestic window, a year long domestic loan window, a Jan domestic window and finally a 1 day foreign window to prevent incoming foreign transfers. The problem is that in-game I am getting registration glitches that will not allow me to register until I holiday past the next game which seems to get the engine to force it and make them all registered. For further information one of the leagues is a split one with an opening and closing league, which gives me double registration reminders whatever time of year so I am wondering if that could be causing something. There is also a double set of registrations listed in rules for some reason and here is how it looks, this is for the first (ie opening) league: Any ideas fellas?

Hi all, I'm having a nightmare tonight in my foray into the advanced rules when my data file verifies as fine but as soon as I make the slightest change to points, registration windows, anything it comes up with this error and often for different divisions. Is this a bug given I'm not changing any teams?

just bumping to say that I no longer need the reply, have managed to sort it.

Morning all, I’m plodding on with my WW2 leagues db again and, as it is intended to be just a league rather than authentic player sim, have been using mainly lower league home nation players that I have gathered from around the world so that they’re not all immediately recognisable. However it still jars the immersion when even the occasional familiar face pops up. I tried using fake player names at the game start but it resets all my “military service” future transfers to a holding league with teams named after army regiments to sim their service (which btw works incredibly well and looks great in game). That said,, my question is is there a way for me to force fake names? Maybe by duplicating them and forcing the game to somehow give them new names on start but keep the transfer edits? thx in advance.

ah that makes much more sense, cheers

ah that explains it thanks - do you mean in the database entry for the cup as here or in the nation rules where there doesn't seem to be a secondary cup option, just divisions?

Morning all, as the title says this has been bugging me for the last few days as I try to add regional cups to my WW2 db without delving into the advanced rules which I'm not too clever on. In the past I am pretty sure you could add individual teams in this window below where I have highlighted the arrow but as you can see it is greyed out so now all I can choose is teams from either a whole league or a number of them rather than a specific team. A case in point is that in that in my Lancashire Cup with Bolton and the like I have to include Wrexham as they are in the same division, which just wouldn't have happened IRL due to travel;ing limitations. Any ideas? All help greatly appreciated.

yeah I guess so, got it working now anyway. cheers

yep, a friend of mine on twitter said that it was because the fake player choice resets some of the edits?
