Hi,

I have installed the patch, edited the database so that Steve Bruce is the boss at Wigan, started a new game and it worked no problem.

When you have finished editing the database you should save the database with a new name. and then when you start a new game you should get the option of choosing which database to use for your new game. Choose the new name you used to for saving your edited database and this should solve your problem.

P.S. I don't know what text speak is either. Could you translate "omg lol! could somebody just awnser my question plz?! ps.wat is text speak?" for me please?

ok,my bad,no more "text speak" the translation for you triggerluke ...omg is an abbreviation of oh my god and lol is laugh out loud. </BLOCKQUOTE> and plz means please.back to the original point,i dont have the option to choose a database as dont alot of other people,it simply isnt there which as u can probably see now is quite a major problem.It only loads the original database,is this going to affect the patch?

No, the patch will overwrite the code of the game no matter which db you run.

As for your database issue, there is a seperate forum called the "editors forum". Have you looked through there to see if a similar problem has been discussed/solved?

You don't have an option to choose which database to use when starting a new game?

So what happens when you click on "start new game?"

when i click start game it just goes straight to leagues and manager set up,there is no option to choose a database...alot of people seem to be having this problem.(im not new to footy manager,i have edited and made lots of new databases and never come across this before.)

Well I've got no idea why it does that. The only thing I can think of to do is uninstall the game, install it again and then update with the patch. Will take a few mins to do but you got nothing to lose by trying it.

Guys, I know that I may be being completely stupid but where do I save the Patch?

Wherever you want. Once downloaded just double click the icon and follow the on screen instructions.
