FIFA World Cup 2014 Patch

well, after many tests come to the conclusion that the problem is not the db folder but the dlc, dlc if you copied the original db folder and patch works but can not play the glasses, that means that the db is fine, the problem is in the files that are in the dlc folder are those who have the information structure of the tournaments, the problem happens when the RTWC mode or the FIFA World Cup Final Round mode is chosen

(sorry for my english)

when you switch databases to a database that isn't specifically designed for the dlc provided it will obviously not work.

the database for the patch consists of only international sides with all clubs being removed from the game.

the dlc is not the problem because i can switch between them no issues, both sets of dlc files were tested and working using the correct database.

if anything there is a conflict between your pc and the station tool which has yet to be determined.

station tool being a program is like any other program for a computer, some programs work flawlessly with other installed programs and some do not, all depends on the machine and the software installed.

Fix for Messi screen crashing... :hump:

1. Open the station. Remember to put the path and save it.

2. Apply all the settings you want.

3. Copy the contents of fiWCd to fiWCdata/data (You can also put all the contents in another fileloader like FIFA14mod, the default folder of jenkey's fileloader. This is what I did, see screenshot.)

4. You can exit the station now.

5. Go to \fiWC-tool\FILES and copy fiWC14mod.ini, dsound.dll to Game folder. You can also copy wfn.ini if you want. (When Station exits, this gets deleted that's why you have to copy this. Also note that when you open the station again and exit it, you'll have to copy them again)

6. You'll need a tool that will switch you're FIFA to TOURNAMENT mode which what the station does. If you have used Moddingway, you know they have an option like this in their selector. If you have it and has already placed it in FIFA14 folder (not in GAME but in FIFA14 main folder), just choose Game Mode Tournaments. The click Apply Tournaments. Exit Selector.
****(if you don't go to their site and download a small update and get the MW selector. This will work even without any MW content installed)

7. Open FIFA. Pray it works. :brow:

***If you want to change your tournament mode, open station, choose the tournament, copy the contents of fiWCd to fiWCdata/data again and do Step 5 again (because dsound.dll was deleted again by the Station).

***If you want to go back to Normal FIFA mode and play career mode etc, use the MW selector and choose Career Mode Tournaments. Then disable loading of fiWCdata by either editing fiWC14mod.ini and disable by changing enable.mod = 1 to 0. Or run Station. That'll do the trick.

***For people that uses MW, instead of copying the contents of fiWCd in fiWCdata, you can copy the DB file to Game/data/moddingway and rename it to 7.db (that's their WC database). Copy the DLL folder to Game\dlc\dlc_FootballCompEng\dlc\FootballCompEng\data\compdata\7\113436\
***For the other kind of tournament, you can repeat the process, place it in the 8th slot. To make life easier. But still remember to do Step 5 because that's how you can enable to fileloader that has the graphic things. Use MW selector to apply the new WC database, and the Tournaments mode.

~~~~
I don't think you need to redo the DB. You can just provide a separate tool that can enable the Tournaments mode without using the station. Or not. The MW selector does it fine.

~~~~
This works. I've tried done this even if the normal way works for me because my FIFA keeps crashing when I forfeit a game. Just needed a bit of logic. :munch:
Proof: (note I have another fileloader folder coz I want to.)


~~~~
If this doesn't work for you:
1. If you don't have original game, go buy one.
2. If you have original... tough luck. ;-) Re-read my tut maybe you missed a step... and pray.

Hope it helped. :mrpimp:

no more crash on messi screen, I can play friendly with all selections, running almost perfect, I have only one problem with crash September 10, 2011 in tournament mode...

not think that's the solution, just saying I can now enter the game without problems, even failure in tournament mode but it is progress

You need a better explanation, what tournament were you playing in and what team. This is the first reported crash in the tournament so I need specifics.

Did you save a squad file.

Yeah, sorry, with any country when I want to play road to world cup.
Do not worry, at least "fix" the problem with messi screen crash

Ohk, so I've written to scouser (the same thing that I PM'ed to you and decoruiz), to ask if they can get the home & away banners for those 3 Arenas; Maracana I don't need since I've got the FUT version.

EDIT: I could try to hexedit myself, but each time I try to open the stadium_###.rx3 (which I assume is the model itself); it's all in code and there are no clear letters like in the screen that scouser posted.

EDIT II: I also copied the lua from your patch; just to test it and i've still got both home & away banners. (which is a good thing for me! :D)


Where do you see banners in these stadiums. This is Maracana, Pernambuco, Das Dunas, and Castelao.

THERE ARE NO BANNERS IN MY WC STADIUMS!

If you have the Messi screen crash then how are you entering the game. Your not making sense.

I hexed fifa14.exe to fiWC14.exe in order to read "fiWCd" instead of "data" man !

Hmmm even if fiWC14mod.ini says mod.folder = fiWCdata? Is fiWC14.exe still launched when fifa isn't launched using the Station? Because when you exit the Station, the game reverts to original FIFA setup. Thus when you launch Fifa without the Station, it launches the unmodified fifa.exe...

My suggested method is just using fileloader to load everything without using the Station. A user can use another fileloader like I did and not touch the fiWC patch folders. This means the messi screen crashing not related to the db or any data of the patch. But how the station loads the files or something.

To switch things the user could manually copy the files from fiWC-tool to the appropriate folder or use the station to switch again and do the procedure again.

The tricky part came on how to enable Tournament mode without the station (because the station runs the fiWC14.exe) and that's why I used the MW selector coz I don't know how.

Hmmm... dunno maybe someone with Messi crashing try what I've posted and see if it solves it.

I think its evident some of you will not be able to play this patch for whatever reason. I'm sorry about that but I cant keep checking stuff I already know works. Try Robbies patch or Moddingways, they have simple patches you can surely play.

Well, this is a MODE, so the way it works should be like this.

1. Hex fiWC14.exe to load "data\db\" + "loc"
2. Hex fiWC14.exe to get new SAVED GAME folder in DOCUMENTS\
3. Hex fiWC14.exe to not touch to ORIGINAL GAME

4. Use FILE LOADER to LOAD GRAPHIC + DLC instead of copying orignal .big removing reference in .bh

5. Start Startion must be running to
a. Switch popups+ scoreboard hotkey
b. control file loader - also hex to read new ini.

without Start Station, someone got confuse and not good, do you think 2 buttons, WC MODE and DISABLE MOD are easy interface.

I'm not a programmer like you nor a FIFA modder. I just stumbled upon this by experimenting and analyzing how what the station does but not the technical stuff like you posted. I understand that the Station makes using the patch easier and for people who can use it, don't bother with my post. What I've shared is another method of using this patch without needing to run the station so it can be a potential fix to the people that have Messi screen crashing. And proves that the patch files are fine. No need for your team to release a fix.

Here, I can run the fifa even without the FIWC folders etc installed and the Station running. (I moved the files to the New folder)


~~~
Thanks for the patch. :33vff3o:

Those guys who are having the crashing/can't run the patch properly can refer to my post and try that potential fix. :innocent_smile_1:

For those which crashes after Messi:
This is a test db. Formation was swapped with another db. Let me know if you running the game. Sorry for my language.


http://www31.zippyshare.com/v/40900870/file.html



errors will occur in the game. No team name, etc.

your db clears the screen crash issue but have crash at kickoff with newly created teams. If you play with real FIFA 14 national teams like , India VS Brazil and others than you will not have crash !! "In your DB , the formation is meesed up for the new created teams , which is giving crash at kicck off !! If you can fix it then it will be perfect

Someone who doesn't know what they are doing uploaded that. You cant just import any formations into this db.
