HurriKANE

I am experiencing this as well...specifically goalkeepers and specifically broken bones

That did seem to do it, cheers. The setting was "Allow display of custom background images" (I had to search for it, I'm not sure what tab it's under). I unchecked that, cleared cache, and reloading the skin. I've tried a number of different skins since then and the problem seems to be gone.

These steps also allowed me to launch the game via steam for the first time. Great find!

Also, for the record, the game still won't launch from steam or from clicking the icon on the desktop, I still have to run as an administrator from the .exe file itself. Happily, my game files now appear in the mygames folder where they are supposed to.

This finally worked for me as well, though it took a couple of rounds of toggling the rules on and off, setting the game to run as an admin from the exe file, and restarting my computer a couple of times. But the game did finally load. Two possibly relevant pieces of info: When I first went to disable the rules, I had two sets of rules for FM 24 (two private and two domain). After initially trying with all off, I deleted one set of rules. I toggled the now one set of rules off, tried to run, then on, tried to run, then off, tried to run. The game still didn't launch. THEN I restarted my computer, and lo and behold, it runs! I checked the rules, and now one (Domain) is on and one (Private) is off. Hope that helps someone else! Thanks to all

also, can confirm uninstalling/reinstalling steam and reinstalling the game did not work. can send new reports (others posted earlier in the thread) if that would help.

I was able to install and launch the game on my work computer no problem (also a Windows PC)--same steam account but different hardware, obviously. Mention it because I would be happy to provide diagnostics from the working one if that is helpful. Will try the new troubleshooting steps on my personal laptop when I get home. Thanks

I have another thread on this, but just in case... C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2024 content_log.txt console_log.txt DxDiag2.txt

Also, I saw on another thread this might be helpful, so attached are my steam console logs (my button also cycles from "play" to "cancel/stop" to "play" in a few seconds w/o actually launching anything) console_log.previous.txt console_log.txt

Okay -I changed my region (I was on the one for the city I'm in, changed to the nearest other city) -I updated my graphics driver -I unistalled/reinstalled the game -I also DO NOT have a Football Manager 24 folder with files to move (perhaps because the game has never actually started) though I do have the folder in the Steam/App/Common folder, but that one doesn't have the game files -I don't know how to change the graphic settings to very low, that is the only troubleshooting step I haven't done -I've attached a dxdiag run after the above steps if that is helpful DxDiag2.txt
