Cant load my database any more!

[Bolsson]

Same for me. I have been working on a database based on Premier Pivot DB and everything has worked out fine untill a few days ago (when a new version of Premier Pivot launched?) It crashes on inititializing game data every time. I have older back ups but they don't work either! Several months editing down the drains!

So, i have been working on a database for a couple of months. Created a bunch of new international tournaments and everything has worked well. I have been simulating everything 20+ years in the game and everything works.
I have build everything upon Premier Pivots final release of 19/20 and when i started up a new game whith my database the other day i noticed a new version of Premier Pivot had been downloaded - i saved my database over it as usual but now the game crashes every time i try to start!
I havent done any major changes in the database from that time i simulated the game 20 years until now - when the game crashes!

I have gone back to all my back up saves off my database but every one of them crashes when initializing game data.

Is all my work down the drain or is this some kind a known trick to this that i dont now?

I'm not really clear what you mean by saving your database over the latest Pivot Rosters. They're completely separate files and so you should keep your modified database.db file in a separate folder. For instance, trying to use the latest extra_config.cfg and other cfg files from the latest Pivot release with your modified DB is likely to cause crashes.

I mean when i save a database i save it in a separate folder yes. But to play the database have to replace it in a an existing folder (TBL, Premier Pivot etc.) otherwise EHM doesnt find my database?

Or, have i completly missed something?

You just create a new sub-folder within [EHM installation folder]/data/database/ and then put your database.db file within that sub-folder.
