EHM downloaded patches have not worked

Post by BronxBlueLiner »

Simply put, I installed four patches to make the game more realistic - rosters, logos, faceoff logos and player faces. I followed the instructions set forth in the youtube videos that were popularly followed and despite doing all that, not only did none of the patches work, but there isn't even the option to select the roster database that I had patched in. Does anyone know what the potential issue may be, if so please let me know as any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

One of the Steam Workshop videos that explain how to install a database forgets to mention the part about importing it first. Did you import the database first? To do that it needs to be in the EHM/data/database folder, then go to the game, click Import Database, choose the database you want to import, then, once this is done, the database should be available once you start your game. None of the other add-ons work without the database, so getting that to work should fix it all.

You can alternatively subscribe to the TBL Database in the Workshop, in which case no importing is needed, as long as you first allow Steam to download the file -- it will automatically be installed and imported.
