I would have another go at it, extracting a different file this time and then seeing if it works. Keep trying until it does. If not then come back hereThat's most likely the problem, i'm a bit of a noob at this stuff. As far as I know, you extract something into the editor data folder and do tick things in the preferences. I think I might have extracted the wrong file into the editor data, as usually it says exactly what to put in there, but this time it didn't.

Do non-custom databases still work fine if you try to start a new game?Nothing is working. I even found a different database that went lower in the English leagues, but that one doesn't respond either, which makes me think this is a problem with the game itself. I just don't want to reinstall the game, because then i'll lose my other save :'(.
what are your computer specs?WAAAAIIIIT the normal database worked in the end, I just left it and it worked. I did try waiting for the custom ones, but it wasn't responding even after about half an hour.
haha no worries just glad it works. It's a fairly slow processor so not too surprising it took a while. How big a database is it?W00T FOR PATIENCE. It worked eventually, hopefully you're not mad at me for wasting your time.
