@Footygamer  I understand that the Football Manager Live Update currently generates once per day, typically around 4AM UK time.

 

With summer transfers happening rapidly and around the clock, I was wondering if you'd consider increasing the frequency of the update, perhaps to twice a day (12 hours), or even every six hours. This would be especially beneficial for those of us who’ve subscribed to the Classic FM version.

 

Being able to download more frequent updates would be a great incentive for others to upgrade to the paid version as well. Right now, the process of waiting for changes to be approved then followed by the scheduled daily generation, can sometimes result in delays of over 24 hours if a submission misses the cutoff because it wasn't approved in time.

 

Offering multiple update generations per day could really enhance the experience during the busiest transfer period of the year.

No because we can't automatically generate FMF's. We used to have it hourly when we could use XML's but SI's forced us to use FMF's that means a human has to download the XML, import into the editor, save as an FMF and upload it back to the site again.

 

As you say this is the busiest time of year, so giving mods another tasks to do is contrary to that, they are already super busy.

 

Someone is looking into trying to decode how the FMF/DBC's are encrypted buts its been months and we still haven't found a solution so I can't guarantee that's ever going to be possible.
