newgen players are taking existing player UID

Confirm also happening:  

This is a newgen with UID 2000125465 which is the same UID as Stephen Padrao who is a now unemployed Salford player who is also still in the db.

Note that these screenshots are taken from two difference saves 

I don't know what would happen if you were to add new leagues mid save and get more players from those loaded leagues that shared a UID with an already created newgen, I haven't been able to recreate that happening.

same happens with my save, 3 players from the youth intake had player faces, assigned to IRL players

I am having this issue. ID of 3 known newgens that this is happening on:

2000120909

2000124293

2000125465

My save is uploaded as Liverpool Beta 25.10.fm

Happening with me too on a holiday save in 2038. Found five examples so far.

Maurício Tristão (2000163965) - Same ID as McKenzie Mason (ex-Peterborough youth player)

Sidónio Assane (2000087359) - same ID as João Mendes (Barcelona)

Manuel Del Moral (2000042609) - same ID as Joe Smyth-Ferguson (ex-Burnley youth player)

Marnix Vanderheyden (2000134953) - same ID as Timo Jansink (Heracles Almelo)

Haji Haule (2000145070) - same ID as Sil Milder (Vitesse)

 

Already uploaded a save file as CFuller_Badelj2038.fm. Can re-upload if needed.

This is a known issue we are investigating. Thanks for flagging. 

Happening to me on most newgens. Pretty jarring

Yes, because they haven't bothered to fix it in the latest patch. Given this relates directly to the database, which is the fundamental aspect of the game, it should've been a priority...

Or perhaps it's not as easy a fix as you seem to think it is.

Can SI confirm what happens if you add new leagues later in the game? e.g. if you're managing with just Russian league and get a newgen with ID 123 then add Scotland after 3 seasons and a previously not loaded Scottish player called "John Doe" has ID 123, will he get loaded with a new ID or not at all?

It's a bit of a pain to test myself i'm hoping SI would clarify if adding new leagues is buggy or not so we can make a decision whether to risk loading them?

Or perhaps the game shouldn't have been released with such a bug, especially given it hasn't been present in previous FMs? Not to mention it was first reported during EA.

Happening to many of newgens in my save too.

This issue should now be resolved.
