Is this gonna get fixed? I'm playing a league with newly created players and they are all bald.
Hi there, could you upload our save game and edit file to our cloud service please - so far we have been unable to reproduce this internally. Thanks

Hi, thanks for the file. We have this logged internally now, though am not sure what the exact cause within the file is.

For the past 2 months or so, I've been keeping a editor data file that was doing all transfer in Asia and copying all the research work I've been doing so I can just plug and play a save on the fly when I want. The file had something like 15k changes and now it's simply vanished without a trace or explanation.
The file still appears in my editor data file (transfers.fmf)
But when I load up the editor and try to find the fmf file to continue editing, this is all I can find:
I've attached the file for you to investigate. The amount of hours I've spent doing this makes this absolutely enfuriating to be honest.
Hi, we've got a similar issue under review currently where the same thing happened but I'm afraid have had no luck so far reproducing/figuring out what the cause was. However, I will send your file over to investigate as hopefully it may provide more clues as to what has caused this bug. Thanks

????? SI. wtf? the last response was in november!!! How is this possible? Not replying is not an answer. People bought a product which is nog working and there is zero response. Is somebody working on this issue at all? Be a professional and come with at least an update but preferably a solution!
Hi there, we are still hoping to have this fixed for FM21 however I'm afraid I can't guarantee it will make the cut.

Hi!!
I've been using the editor (Fm21 / Steam) for a few months, without problems, until a few days ago when I tried to run it, now it crashes when I start it and closes, I can't use the editor anymore! What the hell is going on?
I've tried everything, restart, reinstall, check files... nothing works!!
Any idea?
Thanks!
Hi there, as well as the steps above if they do not work also see if deleting the C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021 folder as well solves the issue.

I'm at the end of 3rd season and the dates seem all jumbled. This is the current timeline I'm facing:
24th October 2022: Final game of the season
26th October 2022: Squad go on end of season break
31st October 2022: Squad return for pre-season
5th November 2022: Cup Final for 2022 season
6th March 2023: 2023 Season Starts
A couple of issues:
1. A 5-day end of season break, which is placed during a season that is still active (I'm in the cup final)
2. A 5-month pre-season seems very steep, surely players are going to end up injured
Thanks for raising this, it seems the game is confused by the cup final and doesn't send players on holiday after then instead of before. I have logged this internally for further review now.

Here is a video example where I was trying to add $95,000p/a salary player to my registration, but game somehow adds $440,000p to my salary cap
I don't think we've seen this specific issue before, and it doesn't appear to reproduce for us in generic save games. If you've still got it to hand and reproducing, could you upload your save to our cloud service please? Thanks

Can anyone from SIGames at least explain why there is a huge gap between two numbers that I believe should be same?
My guess is that
1. number on the right (from info mark) only counts salary
2. while number on the left counts salary + loyalty bonus.
Are above statements true?
If that is the case, I think info mark table at least should have a additional row that shows how much of royalty bonus amount are getting added to salary cap budget.
Hi there - to clarify, this is a known issue currently under review (in theory those two numbers should always be the same), as well as the separate issue noted previously where club's salary cap spend is being bumped up after registration, leading to situations where the user cannot register a squad.
On 13/01/2021 at 01:11, nickname1010 said:Is below my misunderstanding as well? I hired a new player as a regular senior player (Not designated player) with $151k/a salary on April/27/2023. The thing is that the player was injured at the time of transfer. As soon as that transfer got completed, my registration is messed up again. (Player injury seems to mess up roster based on my experience)
1. The player's salary is $151k/a, but it is showing salary cap impact of $744k/a ?? (first screenshot)
2. The player's contract page shows the same number, $151k salary but $744k salary cap impact. I could potentially spend $700k to reduce its salary cap impact, but I don't want to because I shouldn't need to do that in the first place. (second screenshot)
3. I deselected everyone in roster, but salary cap impact still shows $4.95M ??. I cannot safely update registration or roster, and worse, if I don't have any general allocation money, I wouldn't have been able to reduce salary cap and my save would have been ruined again, and I will have to resign my position for the 4th time. (third screenshot)
How can I clean reset this problematic player's salary cap impact? I don't believe MLS has a rule where all newly transferred players will have salary cap impact of $744k/a, which should only happen to DP.
Regarding the salary cap impact of the $151k p/a player, any transfers costs divided by the length of the contract in years are added to the salary cap impact of said player. Would the transfer fee/agent fee/etc account for this additional $593k p/a impact?
Regarding the SCI showing $4.95M if it is after the roster guarantee date then players who have already been registered with Guaranteed Contracts will still count towards the salary cap after being waived. That said, the aforementioned bug with the total salary cap impact jumping up after registration may still be having an effect here.

crazy fixture lists have come up in my save, 3 games in 4 days, 2025-26 season
Thanks for raising this, this is a known issue under review - the Championship specifically has this occur every few years in game when Boxing Day is on a Friday.

Is the fix to the duplicate home away fixtures beta save compatible?
The one in the most recent minor update will be, though it will require getting to the end of the existing season before taking effect for the next one.

Sure.
File name is Brian Bertie - Nantwich Town
Ta, afraid the problem is with the edit file - there are 6 teams being promoted from tier 7 with only 3 relegation spots from tier 6. Which means the problem is within the Pre-Game Editor for verifying this edit file in the first place. Would you be alright to upload the edit file too please?

I'm looking to see of anybody can read a dump file and understand it in a meaningful way. I am trying to verify rules on a custom database. My rules worked fine when I added the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th tier. But adding the 7th tier is the one causing the crash dumps.
When I click Test Rules and click either 'All' or the 7th tier, the game gets to the end of the first part of the test, where it shows a date around 22nd November 2020 and the the editor just crashes.
If I reinstall the editor, I get a different error stating one my leagues doesn't have enough teams for stage 0 of the league. I have checked this league and there should be no issue getting the teams, none of my other leagues have this issue and they are setup almost identically. If I run the test again, I just get another crash dump until I reinstall it again.
I can attach a crash dump file and it is mentioning an issue with a DLL, but it's not something I can understand. Hopefully someone here can help.
Hiya, we have a few crashes under review currently - this sounds similar to one already logged (particularly the new error after the crash), could you upload your edit file to this thread too and I can check. Thanks

The current nationality doesn't show up, thus i cannot change it. It's absurd that you have to pay 6 euros and can't even edit the information panel which would solve this whole issue.
To clarify, is this after selecting IGE > Start Editing on the Player > Overview > Profile or Attributes screens? If so, what resolution is the game in for you? Thanks

Hi all, having an issue with my created players showing as bald, is this an issue for anyone else?!
On 25/12/2020 at 22:45, MM26 said:Same here! I have two regens with black hair and two with blonde hair that looks completely bald in 3D view during matches.
Another regen has blonde hair and seems bald but if I pause the game and look closer I can see he has hair, only their color is very similar to his skin tone.
I tried to change their color with in game editor but even if their picture changes, they are still bald in game
On 26/12/2020 at 12:32, LuCki_BOii said:Yes same, I tried to change the hair length but they remain bald..Kinda annoying to see players being bald in the game and not being able to change that
Hi all, would you all be alright to upload your save games to our cloud service? I can't seem to reproduce this from my end (with either the PGE or IGE) and so wonder if it's tied to the save game at all. Thanks

So it did seem to populate if i clicked around but did not populate when first opened. Also weird request but my computer broke and my saves weren't saving to the cloud despite having marked it to do so and now my save is gone and the only backup is what I uploaded here (even though its a season behind but its better then nothing) Is there a way I can re-download the save I uploaded because it would really kill my motivation if I had to start my save again
Not from the cloud itself, but (if the file's not too big) it uploading it back here should work hopefully.

I am managing Sandecja, I have just got them promoted to the Ekstraklasa, however, in my second season, all the other teams are competing in the Polish FA Cup, yet we were never put into the cup! Can someone explain please, thank you very much.
Thanks for spotting this, there is an issue with the Polish First Division playoff winners not being entered into the cup in future seasons. I have now logged this for further review.

@Stephen Glennon @Freddie Sands Any news about the Spanish salary cap? Your silence is deafening ;-)
Hi, this is logged and will be considered internally as a potential Feature Request for future versions - however design-wise I should clarify that we don't always implement salary caps that are used in represented leagues for various reasons (varying from lack of public information, to lack of information about enforcement/edge cases, and most commonly it not making enough of a difference to gameplay to warrant the implementation costs, etc.).

In the Spanish Second Division Pro B league (playing with Coruna), due to one of my players picking up a long term injury, I get the option of registering a free agent. However, I am unable to assign a squad number to the new player due to the 22 number limitation. I'm also unable to bring in unregistered youth players because of the same issue. Please let me know the solution for this as I am unable to continue my save after this point.
Hi there, this is a known issue we have under review internally currently - thanks for raising.

I'm having this same problem in a save with Deportivo La coruna.
Even checked the lower limits for wages in the finances section and for some reason that's not accurate either - it says the minimum wage for future prospects is £2,900, though it's actually £2,700 (which seems to be the case regardless of squad status).
This is clearly ridiculous and puts a massive burden on smaller clubs as some of my first-team players are on only a little more than £3,000 - PLEASE FIX THIS!

Both teams entered into 2nd round and playable against team drawn against so unsure why we both skipped 1st round.
Hi, this is intended as from next season onwards the group winners of the Euro Cup and Euro Cup II will get byes into the Second Knockout Round of their respective competition.

Hi,
I don't know if this is reported. But in season 2025, the Euro-21 accepts only player older than 31 dec 2001. (23 years). Should that not be 31 dec 2004?
Qualificers seem ok
Euro -19 & Qualifiers seem oke too
Looked at other leagues in the world, seems oké too..
Only big here?
This is intended, as the definition of Under-21 (for the purposes of the U21 Euros) allows for players up to 23 years old at the point of the finals tournament.

Hiya, this is all correctly uploaded and I have been able to test the files now - thanks.
Strangely, I can't get the issue to reproduce even from these files on the latest public build, which makes me think it might be an issue with the local files for the game.
Would you be alright to upload the C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021 folder as a zipped file to the cloud service too please?
