You are more than welcome to share 🙂

I'm not sure if you're on windows or mac or using steam (it's always helpful if you say this in advance).

But you should be able to open the steam console and type

download_depot 1904540 1904541 4758097621529318017

The first number is the appid, the second is the depot id and the third is the manifest (the exact version you want). You can see dates for different manifests here: https://steamdb.info/depot/1904541/manifests/ as you can see I chose the manifest from December 1st.

If you're not sure how to open the steam console on a mac you can easily just copy steam://nav/console into the browser search bar and it will open.

On windows it might not work from the web browser in which case just open the terminal and then type steam://nav/console

Once you've done that you'll see something like this:
It will just sit there and you won't see any feedback that it's working but you can check your networks activity tab to confirm it is (if that confuses you don't worry just assume it is). Let it sit there for anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours depending on your internet connection.

It will then say “Depot Download Complete” and give the location where it saved the files.

Simply overwrite the existing FM files with these files. The existing FM files are usually located in:

Windows: Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2023\
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2023/

I would suggest moving the existing files to another location somewhere safe rather than overwriting so you can move them back if something has gone wrong.

I've followed this method for FM24 on my Mac. I've got the files downloaded for the previous version of the game but none of the files downloaded match any of the existing files in my Football Manager 2024 folder? I just have a Data folder and an fm.app? I've added screenshots below. If you could explain how to overwrite the newest update files with the previous update files that would be amazing. Thanks.
