CJ Sheehan Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 This was announced on Genie's website so I thought I'd pass it on as a word of warning to anyone using this beta: "I confirm that the Scout version which spread through the Net (limited beta 2 build 83) is an official beta, but made for limited use. I can not guarantee its workability. It's still not advanced enough and contains too many errors to make it open." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works only if you have the 8.01 update running and started a new game with the 8.01 update. Oh for i forget Untick the Compress Save Game in the preferences, otherwise he will not run to!!

polkij Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 IMPORTANT: Tested and not working if you have the option "Compress Save Games" enabled in the Game Preferences. So, disable that, save your game again and Genie should work. NOTE: From what we understand, if you start a new game with Patch 8.0.1 and any DB, Genie Scout 2008 will work. However, it shouldn't work if you use 8.0.0 or 8.0.1 with a game started in 8.0.0. So, normally if you have latest official Patch 8.0.1 (and not one of the beta patches), your version should be 8.0.1.114310. This versions worked for most of us with new Genie Scout. UPDATE: This version seems to work for most users, even in Windows Vista. However, it seems that it doesn't work with WWSM08 yet.

Lucky DJB Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Copied from FM Scout Website: There are known bugs for the first FM Genie Scout 2008 version (Beta 2, Build 83) that became available to the public (in a strange way, but still). I will try to list everything I know here along with possible solutions if there are any. This could help lead developer Eugene with solving remaining problems in the program. I mean it could work well for beta testing purposes. Your best bet to have your FM Genie Scout 2008 working is to follow the following 5 simple steps: 1. Make sure you have FM08 and not WWSM08 2. Make sure you disable "Compress Saved Games" within the Game Preferences and Confirm it 3. Install latest official Patch 8.0.1 (and not one of the beta patches) [after that, you should have version 8.0.1 114310] 4. Start a new game with Patch 8.0.1 5. Save your game Bug: Font Issue - font is difficult to read Suggestion: Open "FM Genie Scout 2008" folder and find "Languages" folder. Get in there and find the file "English.lng". Open this file with Notepad (or Wordpad) and change FONT_CHARSET=0 Bug: Does not work with 8.0.0? Suggestion: Yes, it seems this Genie version is only compatible with latest official Patch 8.0.1. It should also not work with both Beta patches, which became available before the latest official one. Hopefully, one of the next Genie versions will be compatible with all FM08 versions, like he announced a few weeks ago. Bug: I get following error message: "The file doesn't seem to be a valid FM saved game" Suggestion: Possible reason for this would be that you have WWSM08 and not FM08. Even though back Genie 2007 was compatible with FM07 and WWSM07, it seems that the new structure of WWSM08 is different than FM08, and thus, unfortunately, current Genie version won't work with WWSM08. Bug: Error loading Entity Number: 3920 File Position: 1410864 Database Version: 1143 Club data seems to be corrupt. Suggestion: No known workaround for this error. Try the 5 steps explained on the top. Bug: I get following error message: "Player data seems to be corrupt" Suggestion: No known workaround for this error. Try the 5 steps explained on the top. Bug: I get following error message: "Data Corrupt wanted to read 4 bytes could only read 0 bytes" Suggestion: Most probably you have forgotten either to disable "Compress Saved Games" or save a new game after doing so. Bug: I applied the latest patch and disabled the compress option, but I get error again Suggestion: Most probable scenario here is that your game was started with version 8.0.0 (or one of the beta patches) and then you updated to latest patch 8.0.1. Even if you did the remaining steps needed, it wouldn't work. You need to start a new game with patch 8.0.1. Bug: I have a custom Database and it doesn't work Suggestion: Most users report that it doesn't matter if you have normal, large or huge database (custom). Try the 5 steps explained on the top. Bug: I still get an error, which says something like "Error loading entity number: 22761...", maybe because I'm on Vista? Suggestion: This version should work in both XP and Vista. However, Vista users should right click the downloaded FMGenieScout.exe file and run as Administrator, as well as running FM2008 as Administrator (otherwise Genie Scout won't be able to access the protected memory area of FM2008 - that's the way that viruses/trojans traditionally install themselves into other programs on your computer). In addition, Vista users should also turn off User Access Control (UAC - Google "Turn off UAC" if not sure) if they are still having problems. Bug: I get following error message: "Can't allocate the DIB handle." Suggestion: No known workaround for this error. Try the 5 steps explained on the top.

marko.stoyanovic Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 So when I load a new game v8.0.1. and do save I can start and use a Genie scout.

meisce Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Tested on a game I'd started with 8.0.1, changed to uncompressed, and everything seems to work fine. I've run player, staff, and club searches with no problems. Unfortunately looks like my team is pretty crap and every youngster with a PA of over 180 now costs millions, but there you go...

DS Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 What happened to the first thread when this was first discovered? I think this is the first time I have seen a thread delete and not just closed. Anyway guys this was never meant to be a public release. It was meant to be a closed beta for Genie's beta testers however someone found it on his server and everyone started downloading it (including me...I was one of the first few people) and so Genie could not contain it. So if you encounter bugs don't blame Genie. There should be a fair bit of bugs and report them on Genie's site if you encounter them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philwood Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 So you can't use it with a game that you started pre patch. Does this mean that when it is officially released it will be compatible with all games, no matter when they were started (pre/post patch etc)? I would prefer not to have to start the game again if possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
