It's actually always been needed since time immemorial, essentially because your save will be using the files in the folder containing the database you were using when you started your save game. Occasionally, official updates will recreate files which are removed when you install this download.

 

This is precisely why the installation instructions explicitly specify that the fix needs to be applied in all the folders…

 

Useful to know, thanks!

You have to install the fix not just in the 2340 folders, but also in the 2300 and 2330 folders.

Looks like that fixed it! Thanks.
 

Just to clarify in case anyone else runs into this issue: I just copied the same dbc, edt, and lnc folders from the 4.1 update into the 2300 and 2330 folders, after deleting the older versions of the same folders.

As an aside @mons, how come this was required? I don't remember it being necessary ever before, including with the 2330 update patch, which worked fine without my having to change the 2300 folders. I figured if I'm going to break a 13 year silence on these forums, I should spend a little time figuring out where I went wrong. Thanks, again!

Have followed instructions for 2340 update (using the 4.1 file) and for some reason the Brazilian team names aren't getting fixed? I've been installing this patch for many years now (major thanks to all who work on it) and this is the first time I've encountered the issue. Screenshots of the problem, and my folders below. 
 

This is on an existing save, and I've tried replacing the folders twice over in between restarts of the FM23 app. So far the issue is reproducing itself.


Hopefully I'm being very silly and missing something obvious. Pre-emptive gratitude for anyone who can help!
