boGeY Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi guys i have just reformatted my computer and reinstalled FM 2009 again.I then proceed to copy all the graphics and my saved game into the football manager 2009 folder under My documents however when I load my game it says that it could not load my game as I had edited my database previously when playing the previous game and it could not find the edited database. I have also copy my old DB folder into my new folder but it is still not working.Would appreciate it if someone could answer my question or give me some help.Thanks!

jod123 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Open the database in the editor and then resave it. It should work then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boGeY Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have opened the editor with my edited database and have saved it but it still does not work. The message in full is " The database folder with which this game was created could not be found. The game is now using the default database folder". Thanks for any help.

jod123 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Ok, could you tell me what your user data folder is? It can be found in the game preferences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 And if you go to that location on your computer do you see a db folder? Go into that and check to see if your database is in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Does it allow you to play the game at all and what did you edit on the database e.g. did you swap teams into different divisions or anything like that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boGeY Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Just when I load the game, it will load up to 1/4 and then display the error message.I just changed competition names and alter some player stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
