Hi, I am playing on fm24 and added the new faces (without icon faces) to my game. I can see the newly added faces in my game, but instead all my previous standard cut-out faces are gone. The game is now left with only the newly added faces. How can i fix this? Thanks

 

Just saw the previous posts. It was because I merged the new players into my main face folder. I kept the new players in a separate folder and it works now.

The experience you are having is highly likely to be as a result of the introduction of the ‘Player History’ file. This file adds 3,000,000+ database changes to provide updated player histories.

 

As well as increasing the time it takes to the initial database load (the bit before you choose which leagues to have active), it 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.

 

It is a one-time wait time and the trade-off is being able to have the updated player history entries.

 

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.

 

For you - or anyone else - the options are either to (a) disable this file or (b) enable it, but expect a longer initial game setup. Unfortunately, given the amount of data it contains, there is no method to have it be read faster when it is used.

 

For absolute clarity, the exact name of the file that contains these 3,000,000 database changes is ‘sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - Player History.fmf’ (free version) or ‘Classic FM - Player History.fmf’ (paid version). For anyone choosing not to use this file, you can still use all of the other files that are part of the Data Update and you will get the benefit of those other files' content.

 

 

Thanks for this info. May I ask what the benefits are for including this “Player History” file? If I don't include this file, would I experience anything different in my actual game-play? Thanks.
