Hi Tan! Great question. The short version is, the database files can't be changed once the game is going. You'll need to start a new game with the new db files for the changes I made for 24.4 to take effect. As far as the graphics go,  you have now will work in your current save going forward, but if you load up a new one you will want the new graphics. 

 

Longer explanation on the graphics- every time SI releases a new version of Football Manager, they include new teams, people, and stadiums, which changes the unique id (uid) that the xml files have for each graphic. So, every time a new release comes out, you need an updated logo pack to match the new unique ids. It's a…pain, especially if you want to go back to an old save. I'm thinking through options for future years to make it less onerous - hope that helps. 

 

Thanks Chris! Appreciate that explanation!

This might be a dumb question - I am in the middle of a save using your database (incredible FYI!!!!), do I just download the new files and replace them in the folders and when I load the updates will be made? Or can I not update the database in the middle of a save?
