Had the same issue on FM24 just a minute ago “could not load game”. I did use the newgen faces manager from zealand yesterday tho and funnily enough I just removed an .rtf file I extracted from in-game to use for the newgen faces and here you go: started like a charm.  

I had to use an older save file tho. Luckily I saved the game like 2 in-game days before. 

 

Hope it helps guys! I know how frustrating this can be.

found this on community si:

 

Resolved the start up issue:

Apparently one of my editor user files (I created my own database plus added a couple from other sources since I found some attributes with some of the players on the FM db is simply not realistic enough) caused the game crashing on start up.  How did I find out? I read a comment on a german forum (meistertrainerforum) where a user suggested to transfer (not delete them!) ALL folders from the FM21 directory (application support/sports interactive/football manager 2021) to another folder and put them back one by one and after each one try and start up the game. I thought this guy was joking. Yet I did as suggested and it worked! Turns out the FM start up process simply doesn't like one of my editor files (just one, not the whole folder). Removed it and all runs smoothly again.
