Troubleshooting Football Manager Data Update Installation - How to install Football Manager Databases

Not familiar with Mac, but anyway: 

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

Mac was weird with installing FM24 and automatically did it within a “Public” folder as opposed to “Library." I switched the file path to include that public part within the advanced settings of the game, and it seems to have fixed the issue!

I can't get this thing to work. I have done everything that is supposed to fix the problem. The editor data files are still not showing up when I want to start a new career. 

My sports interactive file keeps showing up in my public folder when I start the game up again, even after I delete the file and place the exact same in the library/application support folder.

I have set the path of the files like this: /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024/editor data

So I guess the problem is that every time I start the game up it automatically puts the sports interactive folder in public. Can anybody please help me with this?? 

If that's not the problem is there anything else I can do??

Got the game for free from Epic Games Store btw

The attachments are in Dutch

Publiek=public

Bibliotheek=libary

I don't use Mac, so no idea what these mean. Hope they help:

Thank you for the research but unfortunately it still hasn't worked out. It's like my files are invisible in the library and it keeps placing new folders in my public one. And that's where the problem is, I think.

Merhaba,

fm2024 son yamayı bir türlü indiremiyorum. zip dosyasını indirmek için kullanıcı adımı ve şifremi istiyor. Birkaç kez aynı adımı tekrarlayıp istenilenleri giriyorum ama indirme izni vermiyor. zip dosyasını indirmek için ne yapmam lazım?

Hi, thanks a lot for your job.

Thanks!!

no idea why it is unable to import into the editor data

See if this may help:

Is it just the latest updated fmf file that we have to move to the editor data file, when downloading the database for the 1st time?

Can you all tell me which files will not work with Daveincid's increased realism mod?

Why are we not getting a latest update data for mobile. Will this work for mobile?

Try as I might, seems as though this is a bit of a no-go for mac. I've put it into the correct folder and triple checked it, but I can't get it to recognise more databases. No point me adding a screenshot as it's the same as the others where nothing is showing up.

I'm also on steam, dk if that's making a difference?

On the off chance, can someone who has it working on mac send a screenshot of were you put the fmfs?

Hey guys,

For the people who have trouble on Mac via the Epic Store, I managed to make it work like this : 

• I created a folder in my desktop
• Put the “Football Manager 2024” folder in it
• Then in the preferences I changed the location for this folder
• I restarted the game and the files were found when I started a new career

Hope this helps.

Allez l'OM

I have moved your comment to this thread as it had nothing to do with the thread you posted in

read the opening page regards how to install

cheers

Hello guys, I am using a Mac. I am putting FMF files into the data editor, but the game is not updated. Can people who are MAC users support me if they did it?

@Harun Furkan can you please confirm you're putting them into the right place and have checked the common mistakes in first post.

/Users/yourname/Public/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024/editor data BAD

/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024/editor data GOOD

You can find the right spot easily by following these 3 simple steps

1) Open Finder

2) Click “Go” from the menubar and select “Go to Folder” (alternatively press Shift+CMD+G)

3) Copy in the following: ~/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024

Hi all,

I put this Update in C:\Users\*****\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\editor data but I have 2 problems:

1. France's CFA isn't playable;
2. All League's Hall of Fame doubles 2023/24 winners.

Screenshots:

Any ideas to resolve them?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Can't get this to work in either my PC or MAC, have copied as instructed but no option to add the updates on the game load up 

I am using Steam if that has anything to do with it?

any help appreciated 

guys can you make it work on football manager 2024 console edition on PC game pass?

Hi, I'm struggling to use the FM24 update as well. I have FM24 purchased through Steam on Mac. I've included editor data screenshot.

After downloading the updated database whenever i go to start a new career the game gets stuck on the “loading game database screen”

I am having the same issue. I did not experience this issue when I downloaded the database last time in early November. Was your issue resolved?

I am also having the same issue today.

EDIT: I did eventually load - left to its own devices for c. 1hr

Hey, 

I installed FM Data Update “ Released At : 12 Dec 2024 05:33:51  for Football Manager 2024 V24.3.  ”

I made a lot of submissions for Toulouse FC (French Ligue 1)  Enabled recently by web site Sortitousi 

But I find errors in the game with the new data update :-(  My submissions are not visible

-modification of the duration of contracts, signing of professional contracts

-extension of contracts

-departures of young players

-the arrival of Medhi Harfi

++ new contract for Théo Chendi and Hakim El Mokeddem with US Colomiers

I was just wondering is this possible to download on the steam deck? My laptop is a piece of junk these days, so that's a no go.
