Can someone explain to me what today's OPTIONAL 15 MB to update means?

Inside that folder there should be one file named ‘sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - Player History.fmf’. This file provides updated player history entries to many players. It contains over 3,000,000 database edits.

 

Using this file significantly increases load times on the ‘Loading game database’ step. What you will find is that the progress bar sits very near the start on this step for a long time, before eventually completing. Please be assured that on completion, the game itself runs as it normally would and loading saved games doesn't take any longer.

 

Recognising that this is a significant change to the game loading times, however, since the last day or two, the structure of the download has been changed so that this file is (by default) in an ‘Optional’ sub-folder. If you keep it in that ‘Optional’ sub-folder it will not be used. In order to use it, you need to put the .fmf file itself into the main ‘editor data’ folder.

Hey pal, you have attached the jpg of that screenshot rather than a zip of the fmf files.

ok but what exactly does it change in the game because I noticed that the game takes a lot longer to start?

It provides updated player history entries to many players. So if you look on a player's career history tab, you will see their appearances/goals reflected from the real life seasons that took place between 2023-2025.

Started an everton save with this new update and noticed a couple of things. Tyler Diblings contract had to be renewed straight away, united sold Mbuemo to Dortmund in the first window, City signed Trent for 40m, Kyle Walker went to PSG etc.

Thanks, we are aware of the contract issue, and it should be resolved via today's update.
