    The totally *not* official Advanced Access Speculation of FM24 - This time it’s speculative

    I don't get the hate, find it a bit weird. Im 39 and enjoy watching gaming videos on youtube and twitch. Love the away days as well you done last year 

    The hate is far and few between to be honest and I'm used to it, this forum is tame compared to some places! Most of you are absolutely great, I enjoy this thread every year as a lurker and I'm fully aware I and potentially all 'influencers' (I hate that word) aren't going to be some people's cup of tea.

    Sometimes the ignorance and confidence in incorrect takes from some people is a little silly and even frustrating. Maybe I shouldn't care, but I like to correct them on it in the hope it provides some clarity and stops any misinformation. Realise that is probably a losing battle on the internet but it doesn't mean I won't try!

    I'm not taking it out on them, not sure where you got that from? If i'd have posted on any of their channels absolutely you would be right but i didn't/ Relative to other games football manager engagement, viewership and watchtime is consdierably lower, so to claim its very popular is ludicrous.

     

    On the sales i'd love to see the stats behind it because i genuinely doubt it would drive sales in the way that it would for a CoD game or rocket league, but i'm happy to be proven wrong with data.

     

    All i've done is mention on an SI site that i think they have taken the wrong approach. I would not go to one of these youtubers and say it there which would be taking it out on them as there is no benefit. So for you to make that claim is poor curtesy on your part i believe  

    I have sold over 9,000 copies of FM in the last 3 years directly via my affiliate link, I know I'm not the largest with that number either. That of course doesn't account for sales driven by myself of people who didn't use my link but bought the game elsewhere or people who watched my videos before trying out the game on game pass for example. It's impossible to quantify exactly, but I do believe online creators across all mediums have a sizable impact on driving FM sales, if SI didn't think that was the case I'm certain they wouldn't do the Alpha access for creators they do every year.

    They much like most game related youtubers are aimed at kids who are the demographic who watch that kind of content.

    I don't mind sharing my YouTube stats, the majority of my audience is over the age of 18. It's fair enough if gaming videos aren't your thing, I and others won't be everyone's cup of tea, but this notion that FM YouTube content only appeals to younger people or to a 1%> of the community is demonstrably false. I think lots of people exist on this forum not realising this place accounts for an even smaller amount of the community vs people who consume video content, there's a massive community out there who both play and don't play FM but consume content across only video platforms.

    Presumably, that means that if the videos have been signed off on then any alleged licensing-related fires have been put out. So if licensing is signed off, we should be good to go soon!

    The checks to ensure that only licensed teams are featured in the content, there's usually a restriction on leagues we're allowed to show in videos.

    I imagine those youtubers with early access have to send their initial videos to SI for sign off, before they can publish them.

    It's hardly objective.

    SI sign-off the videos based on some of the licensing agreements and legal restrictions that exist, but never have I heard of them asking creators to make changes to videos for any other reason in the last 10-plus years.

    So, i think SI needs to inform US here on forum about this, because here is like Jack is speaking in name of SI

    Not sure where you're getting that impression from, but to be clear I'm simply speculating and have nothing to do with speaking in the name SI. Although I'd like to think that's obvious to most.

    Memory Leak as of 20.4.4

    in Crashes & Technical Issues

    Hi @workthespace, can I get a little bit more information please. 

    Did the memory leak happen directly after 20.4.4 was downloaded?

    What other programmes are running simultaneously with FM20?

    What is your operating system?

    Finally, can I ask you to attach you DxDiag please as per the below thread: 

     

    Attached the dxdiag for myself and a friend who's also having the problem.

    The issue has been most common since 20.4.4 but I cannot be sure if wasn't happening on any of the patches earlier last week. Im OS is Windows 10 Pro, v.1903.

    Besides chrome and a few game launchers there is nothing else running at the time of the issue when this happens at night. During the day I'll often have various other programs running but I'm certain FM is the issue, upon killing the game the pc becomes responsive if caught soon enough.

    Memory Leak as of 20.4.4

    in Crashes & Technical Issues

    Posted · Edited by workthespace

    Since the most recent patch I've been experiencing a memory leak in FM20 during every extended play session, it also occurs if I just leave game game running overnight. I'm aware of a few friends also experiencing the crash however the game fails to generate a crashdump, the game doesn't seem to display a run out of memory message and instead completely freezes my PC and requires a hard restart to resolve.

     

    Steps to reproduce:

    1) Run FM

    2) Leave game running for extended play session

    3) Observe PC slowdown into even eventual hardcrash. (can be caught prior to this if quick, screenshot shows FM20's memory usage on a rare occassion I was able to catch the leak before it got too bad) 

    Reproduction rate 5/5
