The text data is stored separately from the rest of the DB files. By default, it is stored in data/saved_games/Name.lg/news/txt/players.

On import, it should bring the new data through to the new game, but there's always a chance something happened on import and it failed to copy over those files. The injury history is new, and we do not import that forward from previous games, though.

Slightly complicated is that the text data may be stored in a .dat file instead depending on league options. You can check this by going to the setting page and checking on the database tab, and see if there's a line that says something like "This saved game uses an SQLite database..."

If your new game is using the SQLite db, then unfortunately there is nothing we can do to import in the old files. They should have been copied into the DB either on import or after, and we don't support editing that file manually to insert specific lines. If you are using txt files in the new version, then you could in theory merge the files together. However that would require some manual work on your side, to essentially manually match up the player_xxx.txt file from the old version with the new data, copying in the new data, and then moving that to the appropriate place in the new folder.

If this was noticed immediately on import, there would have been a few more options to make sure that things copy over correctly. But if you're 1+ year after import, it would take a good amount of manual effort to fix now. Apologies.
