Sortitoutsi 21.4 Data Update official thread

Submissions for the data update are now open again and prepped for 21.4 🙂

What happens to the old submissions?

When SI release a new version there's no point having our data update include all the changes since September, although SI may have missed some that we got, SI's one is generally better and having the same changes (e.g. the same transfer) can cause the game to break. So it's better to just start again from scratch.

Will we have to start again in the future?

No 21.4 will be the last official data update from SI for FM2021. From now on, our Data Update will be the best place to update the game.

What if people still want to play the 21.0 version?

As far as i'm aware it's impossible to play the 21.0 version and anyone that posts and says “You're missing the transfers from January” is playing an illegal pirated version of the game. That's why we stop making older versions available.

Thanks - I’ve noticed the role ‘Coach - Youth Teams’ is now missing from the submission page?

I'm pretty sure this was removed in game. Can you see it in the pre game editor?

I can't edit any profile, it just comes up with Server 500 error.

Fixed

Sorry, there is one more problem. I can't edit some profile, it just comes up Description not available such as Tuzlaspor A.Ş's staff. Another problem is Büyükşehir Belediye Erzurumspor' staff. Attached, you may find.

Hi,
How can I add a new Barcelona directorate to the game?

You can't via our system. Add them via the editor and submit them as extra files 🙂

Your submissions are working, just the automatic human description isn't working. I'll look to get it fixed 🙂

Hi, I have legally purchased the fm2021 game and I am playing version 21.1.1. The reason why I am selecting this version in new career game is because that's the only option the “no brexit” file works with. However, I cannot see any January transfers when I used the latest data update file. Can anyone help me out please?

Sorry i still haven't gotten to the bottom of this one yet. Are all the other submissions working fine? Just not the ones where it says “Description not available”

I could not try yet because of the fmf file not available. In any case, I could not edit Tuzlaspor's staff.

Yes, other submissions working fine. Tuzlaspor staff members left the club, nevertheless they are still in the club in game such as https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/person/455437 https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/person/70118558 https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/person/70042282 https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/person/457827  https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/person/456246 .

These should all be fixed now along with a few others.

I downloaded the latest update in the last hour and started anew as Port Vale, but noticed all of the released players still there.Is there a problem with my download?

That is released players from Port vale and Plymouth.

I rebooted my computer, then downloaded again. For some reason, this time the download was a WinRAR zip file, earlier it wasn't. Now the changes I detailed above work.

Will this update work on fm2020?

Latest update I have is 20.4.0. Wondered what's the latest I can put on fm2020. 

Is there any possible to work latest data update on fm 20? (20.4.0)

Sorry guys if I didnt look right on the forum, but there a database where I can choose a diferent african countries, to start play there?

Hi.

I'm not sure if i ‘am in the correct topic for my question, but i’ll try here first.

I would like to know, if i download the data update at this moment what will happen exactly in my game:

for example: If i download this and i start a new game:

Will it start in season 20-21 or allready in new season (21-22)?

Will updates from the data update be immediatly in the game or not if it starts in the 20-21 season?

So, if i download this, is it possible to start a game with Bayern in the 20-21 season with Alaba still in Bayern? So he moves to Real at the end of the season? Of will he from the beginning be at Real?

I would like to know that too.

Can anybody tell you the two players mentioned here are? They have signed for Peterborough? I am also curious if they are already in game?

Apologies if this has already been mentioned before, but the ‘Italy Leagues’ data file doesnt seem to work/load when creating a New Game in FM21. All the other data files are fine, but when creating a new game, I heard the classic Windows chime, as if there was a error. When looking at the database dropdown list on the setup page, the ‘Italy Leagues’ data file was missing.

I tried to import this database using the FM Editor and I got the following error:
 

I have looked at line 197 in the ata file XML but nothing stands out to me, and copared it with the other XML files.

This still happens after downloading the most recnt update.

Again apoogies if this has already been discussed but couldnt see it anywhere and not sure if it is an issue others are experiencing.

Cheers

Ok so I know nothing about XML or how it works but I managed to fix this problem with some trial and error: 

1. Open the XML file in Notepad
2. Go to line 6 where you should see <string value="21.4.0"/>
3. Add after that line the following: </list>
4. Save the document

This fixed the problem for me and I can select the data file in the dropdown menu. Hope this helps

Buy this guy a pint…..it worked like a charm.

Cheers Chief!

it says some of the files need testing 

hello, in the new version of data update I only play one match in the qualifying round for the europe league. can it be fixed somehow?
