I'm having the same issue, i'm testing a custom database, ran the same files i've been loading for a few days. At first i thought it was because i had the stupid idea to close steamwebhelper.exe while the game was still running, but it had affected even some older save games. Then today i've noticed that the game was with "23.5" on the main menu, so i don't know if it was the update, if i messed something at Steam, or if i've messed with the game files. It didn't have problems loading some even older savegames (created before 23.3 update), and i've just created a save with no custom files, saved, and been able to load. But if i load the files again and create a new game, it doesn't load the save. The weird thing is that i have not edited any file lately, i've just tried to simulate more seasons in the game while i've slept when that started to happen.

Try this, i'm not sure if it works, i've thought about it but i'm currently testing some other stuff Download this "customized" editor. Before installing, go in the "editor\format\database" folder inside and edit the "club.xml" file in notepad++ or something. Search for the line "<flags id="field" value="Cnag" />" and a little below, there are the values permitted for using in the editor (by default you can't set the min. age to over 21). They are the lines "<integer id="min_value" value="16" />" and "<integer id="max_value" value="21" />". You can really set the min to 14 and the max to 45, anything under that min. or over that max. will not work on the editor even if you set in that line, probably because it's related to somewhere else where it sets the min. and max. age for players, and i don't know where it changes and if it's possible. Also, i would recommend doing the same thing in the "<flags id="field" value="Cmag" />" just above. (Max. Age) Save the files and install the custom editor as described in the topic, then run the editor and set the age limits in the clubs you want, save the files and test ingame. I think if you set a club to a minimum age of 30 for example, save, and run the game, it will probably work. Over 40 probably the AI will retire the players in a season or even less, and maybe other bugs. Also, i don't know if they will actually sign appropriately players. But this will probably work perfectly with greyed-out amateur clubs. Try just setting the minimum age and don't set a maximum age. Also, will be interesting to see how the youth intake day will work. I don't expect this to work properly with over-40 teams, FM force players to retire older players quickly after you start a new game, even top players like Gianluigi Buffon or Cristiano Ronaldo.

Fantastic work you've done! Congratulations I've always fancied playing the Concacaf zone, creating saves wih the challenge of qualifying Cuba to the World Cup. I'm working on developing the rosters of the clubs, creating staff, players and referees. It's hard to get 100% accurate information, but starting players are around 90% accurate and subs/reserves around 75% accurate. I have done for myself but i can improve it and share later. In the league you've created, i miss some things i personally enjoy. I will share with you my suggestion and ideas: Anyway again thanks for your work, i would be glad to help if i can.

I'm using the last version you've posted. Unfortunately these issues and the crashing are really from the editor. I have the feeling the first editor version released by SI was more stable... Anyway thanks for the help, i've removed the files and certified the bugs are from the editor, they keep happening...

Great work you've done mate, congratulations I've downloaded the first version and it worked fine, but since the last update, i'm having some small problems, i don't know if is because SI updated the editor since your file was released. Some crashes are ocurring in a file i'm working when i try to load another file and copy stages/comps, when i copy and try to reload the database, it crashes. I don't know if it's a compatibility issue with your file and the current version of the editor, or my computer RAM. Anyway, i think the file has a small bug on the Awards, when i try to create a new record on the history and change the year, it creates an "-1" record and it changes the next on the list. I would like to know how to remove completely the custom editor UI to change that, and then use it back when needed. I removed the cache and the "editor" on "Documents\Football Manager 2023\skins" folder but it didn't work
