You should have a fifa_ng_db.db.bak automatically created by CM14. Just remove the .bak from the name.

ok i deleted fifa_ng_db.db and renamed the backup file as he suggested to be in use, still when i enter the game the squad file is damaged and my career file aswell and somehow CM still can see my newly imported stadium in the db and its in the game aswell wich caused this mess, i have moddingway mod (i have backup from all of the databases and all of my saves, squads)

i really dont get it, is there a way to save my career? :blush:

i have found this and

Fifa may save many different kind of files:
Career Files (e.g. B.MyCareer)
Tournament Files (e.g. C.MyCup)
Roster Files (e.g. D.MyTeams)
Pro Files (e.g. I.MyPro)
Season Files (e.g. J.MySeason)
All the files saved by FIFA make some references to the fifa.db existing at the moment they were created. Therefore, any change to the fifa.db file can make them unusable. More in detail, if you just change a some values in the database it remains compatible but if you add or remove records then you loose the compatibility.
CM modifies the fifa.db and this is the reason why editing with CM and editing with FIFA internal editor are not compatible. This is also the reason why after an editing with CM you could have troubles to load a career started with an older database.
How to overcome this problem:
1) when you start a career or tournament or a season just make a backup copy of your fifa.db. When you want to continue the career just restore the backup as the current fifa.db.
2) You can try to use the recovery function available in Internal Master and Manager Master. At the start-up these programs check if the career file appears to be compatible with the current fifa.db, if not, it will ask if you want to try to recover the career file and make it compatible with current database. This operation could fail, in this case the career file cannot be edited. Also if the recover operation is apparentely successful it could happen that career file and the fifa.db are only formally compatible but not logically and this will cause a crash later when you try to load the file in FIFA.
So solution 1 is the only one that works for sure. You should try solution 2 only if you have forgotten to make a backup copy of your database.

and as i said i have all the .db files downloaded from Moddingway patches(i used the 1.db at the start of the career) and i tried to use that db and restore the old fifa_ng_db.db but still damaged it says, and there is no internal master for fifa 14...

yeah the issue with the one minute waiting is annoying, but what we can do except waiting for another version of cm? nothing. arguing with the forum members here is not gonna solve nothing. if you need help i'm here

You make it sound like it's an issue with this particular version. It's not. That is the way every version of CM has always worked: sometimes it takes a few seconds to save, sometimes it takes a bit longer. That won't change even if rinaldo releases a new version.

this is the truth, if you have to wait you have to wait and that is all there is to it.

Creation Master 13 and 14 problems

Hi folks,

can anyone explain to me why I'm getting errors whenever I try to 'Show Textures' for face/hair graphics in either Creation Master 13 or Creation Master 14?

I get an "Unhanded exception has occurred in your application. If you click ... " (etc.) error.

Then "See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** Exception Text **************
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." and more output....

I can seem to click Continue through it but I can't import models/graphics for faces or hair.

I'm running Win7 x64 and have .NETFramework 4.5 updated.

I'm accessing .db, .xml. and eng language files when I run CM13 or 14.

I have about 500 players to create/edit for a classic player patch, so I'd love to get this fixed or find a better approach. Any help much appreciated.

I tried moving CM13 to the same dir as the game files, but unfortunately no improvement. I'm stumped. I have 500+ players to add to a patch, along with face graphics and more edits but I'm having such trouble with the editors that I'm going to pull my hair out. :)

I've also tried using DB Manager 12 to export the players and playernames tables and edit them in Excel, but after importing them and saving the DB, Fifa crashes.

Any other options for adding so many players? I'm not creating teams, just trying to create the players and add them to existing teams.

Sounds like the problem isn't CM 13/14 if DBM 12 isn't working either. Has to be a corrupt DB. Have you tried editing the original unedited DB to see if that works?

Bangus,

I haven't - thanks for the suggestion. I was using the ModdingWay patch (2.2) DB and trying to edit from there. I guess I can go back to vanilla db and see if it might help.

That's why I only ever use and edit my own dbs based off the original default db. rinaldo's tools work for my db, but when I tried editing someone else's db earlier this year, I would get the same error messages you got.

Bangus,

thanks again for the suggestion. Reinstalling a vanilla FIFA now and will try editing later today. I'll confirm here if it works, or come in swinging a cat if it doesn't. ;)

Restore the backup copy of the original files you made before editing, or simply uninstall the game then reinstall via Origin,
