DATABASE IS NOT UPDATED
Are there people like me who are playing with the database that is not updated and should remain in beta? What could be the solution?

We don't offer a separate early access database moving forward.

Can you describe a bit more about what is happening with your game or what you're seeing when you load the game up?

I am unable to choose any database, nor use the db file from pre-game editor at all.

There is no option to choose another database in advanced setup of the career mode.
A developer of this app has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Thank you for answering, and I understand there is only one official database now.

Still...how do we apply the db edits from the pre-game editor? Right now, there is no place to select & apply the db edits when setting up a new game.

Is it saved in the correct folder?

When I open a new game, I still get beta squads. After the update, the database is still not transferred to the game. By the way, I am a Steam user

It is saved in Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\editor data\, and saved in .fmf file ---- just like always.

I have played FM for years. During advanced setup to begin new game, there is always a button on the right side to apply editor data.

But the button is not there in FM2024 to apply the editor db.

This year, you have to select it before you choose a game mode so before you get to the part for an advanced database.

would really appreciate a screenshot on where to select it!

I looked over all the screen & in-game setting & editor screen, there is no place to select nor any instruction.

And I have been asking all over in other Steam threads & no-one else seems to know the answer either.

When first selecting Career you should have the option in the upper right corner:

I don't have one myself as I do not have any custom DB files.

Thank you!

It was also grayed out on my screen, then I manually copied the fmf file from "\Football Manager 2024\editor data" to "Football Manager 2024\db setups", then it becomes select-able & working.
