Thanks - I think, just to be certain, I would like to see the screenshot of what files appear further down the list (as I do note the scrollbar).

 

I can tell from the file size (1,240kb) that this is still the ‘previous’ file, in any case. So that confirms that part, anyway. Mentioning that as you may feel it not worth continuing the troubleshooting knowing it is a file being replaced overnight tonight in the free tier.

 

Just FYI, the previous version of the file (the one you're using), in-game, shows the name “E20 - England to L11”, which is just an artefact/leftover from the way the original owner named it. I suspect it is in your list, but you're just not realising it has that name instead (and I appreciate that is confusing). From tomorrow (when the new file becomes avaiable on the free tier), it'll carry a name, in-game, consistent with all of our other files.

 

As I say, I have just downloaded and installed the same version you're on and I can definitively say I can't replicate the file not showing. I see it - and the two other files - and when I select all three, I get the effects of having it selected.

 

Here you go, hope this is what you meant

Just acknowledging - also, I've moved your post into our dedicated ‘Troubleshooting’ thread.

 

Certainly, you should definitely see all three files when starting up the game. Even on the previous version of the file (i.e. before today's updated England file) that should be the case.

 

Now, in terms of seeing the updated 2026/27 leagues, that will rely on the version of the Data Update you've downloaded ‘integrating’ the newly-uploaded file into the download. I have a feeling that, on the free tier, this updates on the once-per-day schedule that the other files do. Therefore, on the free tier, you should see the new file in the download from about 04:30 tomorrow morning UKT. One way you can definitely verify that is the case is to check the last modified date on the file from within the zip (i.e. before you extract it/move them out). If this shows a timestamp of April 2026, then it's still the old file. If it shows a timestamp of June 2026, its the new file. But it's important to check that modified date inside the downloaded zip file. As soon as you move the file out, it stamps a new modified date and I don't want to confuse you.

 

I think it is highly likely that the new file will appear for users of the free tier overnight tonight.

 

However, the old file, that you've just downloaded, should still work. I've just downloaded an earlier version with that file and tested it to replicate what you would have downloaded…and I can see all three files, select them and use them. So perhaps there is an installation issue at your end and, if you'd like help troubleshooting it (appreciating that you'll likely grab the new version tomorrow, anyway), then to help me do that please share a screenshot of your ‘editor data’ folder and a screenshot of the database setup screen in-game where the enabled custom database files can be selected.

 

 

There you go mate, shows the 3 in teh folder, but in game only those two. i have scrolled down and its not there to be checked.

Hello, 

 

i have moved the 3 FMF files to the editor data for 2026, however when i go into the database options i only see 2 FMF files. i have reloaded the game and even moved the files back into the relevant folder but still nothing. When i load the game the English teams are still in last seasons leagues.
