2024-01-05 12:41#295363 Carefree17 : I really want to use a retro database in FM24 to use some of my favorite players growing up. However i am unsure on the effects it will have on my current save files. Will they no longer load? Will I lose the original database? Is my laptop good enough to handle running a whole new custom database? I am honestly clueless when it comes to a custom databse on FM. I have skins badges real names etc and have never had a problem with that.
Overall I would like to find out whether 1: My current saves will be okay, and 2: If my laptop is going to be able to handle running a custom database.
Any help appreciated.
Current saves are absolutely fine to use alongside retro database ones. The original database will still be there, you just need to make sure not to select the retro database editor file when you start a new save on the current database.
If you want retro graphics though you will need to remove your current graphics and move them somewhere safe before adding the retro ones. Either that or use the launch options in Steam.
It would depend on your laptop but if it's capable of handling the current database it should handle a retro one. Retro ones take longer to load initially as the save setup removes current staff and players but is fine once set up.
Which database are you looking to play?
