My enhanced update will not load on the game. It gets trapped at the end of loading the game database, but the standard one was working fine before. Can anyone advise me on how to fix this?

yhh, I noticed the same thing…it takes time due to some files that the enhanced DB update adds (files that are greater then 6000kb). So just be patient after you setup the database everything will proceed at the normal speed you know

Still not working today! So annoying do not know what to do. Waste of money it seems.

Apologies - this report (your original post) escaped my attention.
I can assure you that, fundamentally, the Data Update does work. I suspect you have an installation error at your end if it is not progressing at all.
The most common thing that causes a crash at that initial stage is the attempted use of the Dynamic Data at the same time as the Non Dynamic Data. Or perhaps the attempted use of some other update/custom editor data files that are incompatible.
As a first step, can you please share screenshots showing your Editor Data folder and, ideally, also screenshots that show the list of enabled Editor Data (which can be selected when you are selecting which database version to use). This will help me diagnose what is going wrong for you more definitively.
Luke Newport
For the enabled editor data I just select everything. Do not really understand how it works I have just downloaded the pack added it all over. What is different between dynamic and non dynamic?
Luke Newport
I tried to unselect the non dynamic part and that did not work either is that only one file?
M.C
OK. So the issue is that you are trying to use all of the Dynamic Data files at the same time.
You‘ll note in the download, there are a bunch of files in an ‘editor data’ folder and then some in further ‘Optional’ sub-folders. Specifically, the bunch of files called ‘Classic FM - Dynamic …’ are not all meant to be used together.
Delete all of those from your ‘editor data’ folder. There are 30 in total - named ‘Dynamic Data’, ‘Dynamic New Player Data’ and ‘Dynamic Pre Window Budgets’ (each numbered 1-10).
This should leave you with 53-54 files. One of which is the ‘Classic FM - Non Dynamic Data.fmf’ file, which you will want to keep.
As a starting point, get as far as having 53-54 files in your main ‘editor data’ folder (without any ‘Dynamic’ files) and load up a new game. This will work.
If you consult your original download, you’ll see in the ‘Optional Dynamic Data’ folder there is a readme that explains their use. But for your convenience:
Those files are used to randomise certain things to keep the game world fresh for more regular players. They are optional and, if someone wants to use them, they need to remove the ‘Non Dynamic Data’ file and replace it with one ‘Dynamic Pre Window Budgets’ file and one ‘Dynamic Data’ file. There are ten variants of each.
One thing I’ll take the opportunity to point out is that the ‘Dynamic New Player Data’ files are obsolete and have been removed from the very latest Data Update as they serve no purpose anymore.
One simpler approach than picking through files you may find is to simply delete everything from your ‘editor data’ folder, download today’s update and then copy across only those files not in an ’Optional’ sub-folder. Again, you should end up with 53-54 files; not 83-84.

Hi,
I have done this and it still is not working. Is there any other issue it could be?
Luke Newport
Update it is working, just had to restart my laptop after doing all that. Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it a lot.
