It will take as long as it takes, better to get it working as you want rather than rushing it

Yes it will be nice to update nationality because some players don't have their second nationality in the game and I didn't see the possibility to update this data in the template

It’s not overly clear that the FM21 update is now live in the main data update thread..
kingrobbo
mate why dont you ask in staff forums?
the FM21 update says it is due tomorrow
Footygamer
It should now be clearer
- The Data Update only contains 43 changes specifically made to the FM21 Update
- Player threads only contain comments and submissions related to FM21
If anything is not clear or appears not to be working please feel free to give any feedback and i'm sure I can improve things.

I have seen that there are more .xml files in the FM20 database than in the FM21 database. Please help.

Hi @Footygamer, I have tried to start a new file with the data update and I have this message saying it requires verifying before using. Not had this before when downloading latest Data Updates? Will I need to do this in the editor every time I download a new update? Thanks

ian pye
does this fm21 update include player attribute changes?
Thanks
kingrobbo
The data update page tells you when the file was last updated and for which version the latest update is for
NB It is for FM21 NOW
Older versions click as shown in image(NB older versions are not being updated the last updated stable version is shown)
There is an issue currently with only the download link for the last FM20 update working

when you try to use a file created using an earlier version of the DB it sometimes has to be just opened in the editor and saved then its good to go
you will get an warning message saying something like- this was created on an older version etc ignore this that is normal
also the new editor/game SI have released it has been very buggy and it sometimes doesnt like xml files
but files like this dont need verification in fact they cant be verified in the editor as they are not changes to league structures/ rule changes.
try loading it in the editor and using save as then you will get a fmf file this will load in game
NB it is a XML file so you need to use import to load it

Well done mate - never an easy task 💪

I try with the editor but I don't know why it won't let me load the data into the game. Thank you.

show me a screenshot of your editor data folder and your FM21 editor opened with DB loaded
kingrobbo
as I said earlier in thread- j
try loading it in the editor and using save as then you will get a fmf file this will load in game
so you will have 2 files xml and fmf delete the xml

Hi, Will we have to do this every time we download the update? Never had to do this on any other platforms in the previous years using this update?
