Pecu72 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I am using Scorpio v1.5 and I still can't get it to work after trying everything stated in this thread. Help?

Its not SI problem, Im afraid. Its all about the skins, which are not all official, Im afraid. If its not Official skin or patch, everybody uses them with their own free will, and the risks that they dont work properly are always there. We just need the authors of unofficial skins to release an update asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Changes like this and with tactics should have been done for FM16 not on an FM15 update. They should also get the people responsible for this to be answering everyone's problems. Not everyone is able to do the things suggested. Yes simple for those who know what they are doing. What about those that don't? So far it just looks like "We've come up with a work around so live with it"!!! Hmm... Watchdog Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeltmurrayuk Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 So what was the reason for the change for all these skins to have trouble working? There is a saying that if it aint broke dont fix it. It seems to have caused more problems and disgruntled people than expected. Also if someone can piont me in the direction of a 3d kit fix for this I would be grateful. The changes were made to fix issues with the Steam Workshop. The issue with 3D kits is being looked into but there is no fix at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorboy1996 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'm trying to get the Helvetica Lite skin to work.

Drakestone Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 the 'Name' bit should say 'HelveticaLite RC Normal Sidebar 2.9.1' and the 'Skin Name' bit should say 'helveticalite_rc1_normal_sidebar'. Switch em round and it'll work On any skin the 'name' part is just what is displayed as the skin name in the list of skins in the preferences. The 'skin_name' part is always the name of the folder on your computer that the skin is in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robWolvesfan1 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Just make sure you have both<string id="name" value="FM 2015 Flut Skin" /> and <string id="skin_name" value="FM 2015 Flut Skin" /> in order to make it show up when selecting skins AND being able to load the skin.

davidmn27 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Does anyone use the 'match plan' function with the Instant Result button? If so, have people been experiencing issues with it?

roykela Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Yes it is. 15.2.1 which as far as I know is the latest. No? -- I don't feel like i'm going to get to the bottom of this. 15.2.1 is indeed the latest version. I don't know what could be wrong. I downloaded the skin, extracted it and selected it without any problems at all here. You have probably done it already but have you tried deleting the skin and re-downloaded it? Maybe from another site if possible. Make sure it is the latest version of that skin as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyer Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I've redownloaded the skin and tried other skins. Nothing allows me to pick that skin in the preferences and this has ruined the game for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
