FM18 - Not starting after placing the update in editor data-folder

Hi,

Just installed FM18 and from a fresh install I placed the sortitoutsi.net Data Update - Live Changes.xml in my Documents\Football Manager 2018\editor data folder.
When I try now try to start the game, it just hangs at the first "intro image" showing Football Manager 2018.

Any advice?

I'm having the same issue...
I think it's because some of the files are too big in size.

Weird, seem to work for everyone else. Been searching the forum and google but, no. Tried a completely different db update and it worked, .fml-format though.

This is now happening to me
FM 2019.

What version of the game

Hi, Basically I'm still using FM 2018 but I want the latest Transfers & Data Update on it so it's as up to date and real as possible.
My main question is: Does sortitoutsi's FM 2018 Data Update have all data and transfers up to a certain date say Oct 2018 like all other update packs or does it include all the 2019 transfers and data as well?
If not does anybody know how I can do this?

All the FM18 Transfers & Data Update packs I can find only feature transfer & data changes up to Oct 2018, and any update packs that feature the more up to date transfers & data are all for FM 2019 and non say they can be used on older versions of FM.
I have tried just adding the FM19 Update Packs to my game but they've never really worked.
Do you know if they only work on FM19 or can they be used on older versions of the game?
I just wonder why hasn't anyone just carried on the FM18 Update Packs for users that can't afford to buy the new game or if their PC/Laptops can't run the new game.

there are 3 updates here

current- fm19
fm18
fm17

so download the version you want and follow the instructions
the latest update to the files are dated and they all show today

in my experience the guys here wont be beaten for detail

I am having the same problem, but on fm 19...does anyone now how to fix it?

I am having the same problem...version 19.1
