It's all ok. You need patience.

 

Okay - I shall leave it and see how long it takes - I've never had this issue before.
I'll let you know how long it takes to load the game database - Its a decent laptop I've got so don't think that would have been an issue. 

Cheers for your help šŸ˜€

If you have installed all correctly and have only this and the real name fix (the most common things downloaded), be patient (I'll have more than 100 FMF files compatible each other, and they work. Obv, more changes more time needed for the game to start).

 

Try to not use the files in the folder ā€œoptionalā€. It will take less time.

 

So I have carried out all steps on the how to guide. 

Removed and then redownloaded and extracted the ZIP files. 

I have then started the game loaded the files - still stuck on loading game database, been stuck in this screen for 10 mins. 

How much time does it need? never had these issue when using older version of the data unsure what has happened.

I had the same issue - i had too many Dynamics files in the editor folder - you only need one of each type - once i sorted that out it was all good.

 

Any more details would be great. 
I've messed about with everything and can't get it to work still.

I'm still having this issue. Tried removing all folders, redownloaded and still have an issue. Any help would be great.

Those are two different things, sorry I know it's a bit confusing. There's the £10 a year for downloading things like megapacks from our servers rather than free mirrors, this has been around more than 10 years and is how we keep the site running instead of adverts and pays for the storage and bandwidth costs for massive files that are multiple GB's in size.

 

The £5 is for the Data Update and is a new thing where we're trying to fundkeeping FM24 alive forever. This covers a completely different and new set of costs, primarily a whole army of bots that search the internet and scrape data from websites in order to update player histories and injuries and then AI to try and semi-automate modifications to player abilities and club finances.

Amazing thank you for clearing that up for me!

might shoot myself in the foot here. 

When I go to download from the site its £10 a year however I can go to https://classicfootballmanager.com/ and its £5 a year, should I sign up from classic and it'll still work?

I will be trying this soon - once I get the new data pack. Didn't know this was a thing. 
I have been fishing about looking to see what packs I can get to keep FM alive as 25 is delayed with no outcome to whats going on.
