Hi mate its a no  go Im afraid Footy answered it here but in fairness this is an old thread so users might have missed it- read last reply page 2 from Footy

There are several issues when using a custom start date no player stats recorded / or that one big season 

 also players contacts end date moves eg a contract ending in June 21 [making a player free to sign]

if you start a game using custom date in 2021  he wont be available on a free the contract ends June 22 

I dont use custom start dates  due to this, just for simming  and I dont use a league structure as per default DB as my game is set up  differently so I have no need for real fixtures/ results either

https://sortitoutsi.net/content/58631/top-5-league-summer-2021-transfers 

you mean something like this

yes in theory you start in july 2021 and can run a mod where transfers are set to take place in 2021 something like this https://sortitoutsi.net/content/58631/top-5-league-summer-2021-transfers 

but as I pointed out earlier in thread this start date mod I have used just to sim files with many changes to league structures/continental rule changes to occur in upcoming seasons , in doing so I have found it as if the game reads from 2020 on as 1 big season, eg start in 2027 it will show players as playing 250 games in a season so I dont recommend using this to start a save

yes you need to run the start date file

then create the results file in basic rules then convert to advanced rules and edit the sub rules[explained in FAQs] you might be able to edit the sub rules in basic rules but I dont use them for editing really IIRC there are less sub rules there to choose from NB you can only have 1 set of nation rules per country when trying to start a new save

https://sortitoutsi.net/content/58016/please-read-before-posting 

Create new files to run alongside I give some tips in the FAQs on this 

The only issue may be editing finances as there  may be a file on this in the data update, if so I would edit that rather than have your own one as well just to rule out any potential clashes

You reported issue to si /steam? 

As there will be fixes like verifying the integrity of the editor files etc

I explained in first reply here what to do you have also been linked to the FAQs thread previously regarding any issues with XML files- page 2 of FAQs

closing thread

in future please post the issue directly in the thread concerned https://sortitoutsi.net/content/57963/fm21-summer-db-league-requests 

so the author can see there are problems as it could have gone unnoticed he may have missed this thread 😉

will close this but will tag @TheMinsterman  so he is aware as that should not be happening 

cheers

For other users info this is the way to post a request

spot on Jimmy🤛

 @Audouin Wilfreed       did you not see this?       

yes the OT forum flatlined a long time ago, just no one has called it yet 😉

Use import

See the clown has deleted his account 

Caught out passing on other people's work 

Would have been banned anyway

👍

     @Dewo Alhafizh     please explain

are you saying this file is yours if so PM me with details 

cheers

as said its not recommended to do this but if there are no issues for you then thats good news hope that continues

cheers

didnt I show you how to change Messi's squad number/GK issue recently, decided to update squad numbers for 21 /22 season? 😉

[24]Why cant I use certain squad numbers for GK/outfield players

Sometimes the club may have retired the number but most often it is down to certain leagues having rules the GKs have to use set numbers etc see this thread how to resolve this edit those rules and you should be fine

you have edited our file [data update xml changes]   but  you are using your fmf file when you start a save?

  you are not using the data update xml changes  and your fmf file because that is not recommended at all it can/should cause conflicts in game

 show a screenshot of files selected on game start up you are selecting

cheers

just to be clear the same concept will apply as with using  our live update - Delete any previous version of our Data Update you may have installed before you start a game

all the other files should be fine its the changes xml, as long as @TheMinsterman  hasnt added any squad number changers to his player changes file[the top one in the image below]

had to remove more posts not on topic

 this thread is not about errors in the Data Update post them using the link - search for the player and post your comment 

https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update 

NB if this is an adapted version of our Data update users wont be able to run both files at the same time, you need to use one only and delete the other from your editor data folder as it could cause issues.

also @Footygamer  so he is aware of this

cheers

closing as no need for 2 threads on same thing in 2 forums

NB if this is an adapted version of our Data update users wont be able to run both at the same time you need to use one only and delete the other from your editor data folder

[23]Issues with game not  loading XML files- stating they need verification.

There are have been on/off issues with the above matter with the game showing  messages when you try to select a file to load at game start up[even with files that cant be verified eg files with just player changes]

just to clarify this is a bug as the only files that need verification are those that have changes to a league's structure/rules,  so changes just to players eg transfers DO NOT need verification. However some XML files are stating they have to be verified even when they are basic changes eg our Data Update file/s

so to bypass the issue you need to turn the XML file into a FMF file. You basically just need to save it in the editor to convert it.

Place the xml file into[if it is a downloaded file]: Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\editor data 

Open the Football Manager 2021 pre game editor

Select File -Import [you have to use Import as it is a xml file]

File > Save Editor Data As.. > Save

Before you  save you will see that the save file will be called "League & Data Updates" name the file what you want[use the original file name is best]

The file does not need verification if it is just player/club changes etc

After you save it, close the editor and go back to: Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\editor data

You will now see two files with the same name - one is in FMF format the other XML, Delete the xml file[do not leave both files in the folder]

Go into the game set up page and make sure the new FMF file is checked and then it should be good to go to start your new save.

NB also some files have been created using a different earlier version of the DB[eg 21.1] than the one you may be using at game set up[eg 21.4] so make sure  you load the DB version you want to use in game before saving
