Cannot install data update

Hi all

I`m having big problems installing the data update, into FM24,

i have followed step by step the instructions, i click on 24.3 database its totally blank no updates are available for me to select.

I have no idea why this has happened i know people have had the same problems as me,

I download the data update, zipfile to Documents/Sports interactive/Football manager 2024/editor data.

then start the FM new game, 24.3 update there is no new update files, has anyone got any ideas please, its driving me mad Lol

many thanks

Alan

Maybe a silly question but you did extract the files from the zipfile into the editor data folder right ?

Could you perhaps post a picture of your file structure (editor data folder contents etc)

The only files I have in editor data is the files the came with the data update, nothing else

Hi all,

why i can't play italian league?

Thanks

@Alan Gresty please can you provide basic info like if you're on windows and mac when asking for support. Screenshots also help. Have you definitely checked the things listed under “Common Mistakes” in the troubleshooting guide

@Simone Terrosi there's something wrong with the files in your editor data folder. Just before that screen you should be able to see a list of files from your editor data folder and they usually indicate an issue next to the file name.

Hi

thanks for getting back to me, I do appreciate you help, I am on Windows11.

please find a screenshot of my editor data folder.

these are the only files i have in the folder, hopefully this will help, to sort my problem.

many thanks

Hi again

I have just tried to install the name fix, following the video.

again this has not worked so its obviously im doing something wrong.

I`ve sent a screenshot of the folder location in preferences.

Manchester United is still ManchesterUFC

many thanks again lol

Alan

So, do you see something like this? Any editor data files there?

Hi Poorjack

exactly like that 

thanks

Alan

Did you put the files here: C:\Users\<YOUR USER NAME>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\editor data ? 

Hi

yes the files are in the correct folder, I've put a couple of screenshots.

one of my problems I'm not very technical lol

many thanks 

Alan

Hello again

its not my week I have installed to name change, and exactly the same has happened, Manchester United are still Manchester UFC lol

Alan

How about the “User Data Location"?

Please see the screenshot, if people like yourself can`t figure it out then I have no chance Lol

Alan

The screenshot tells nothing at all. 

I mean, “Preferences” > Search for“Location”… is it pointing to the right folder?
