i am able to find the save on my Macbook folder, dragging the folder for saves to my desktop and then rename it but it doesn’t let me drag it back to the original location it seems. When opening the game again, there are still no saves
Please don't rename the folder - within that folder you should find the saves. You can always send me a save to do it for you if you want? (marc.vaughan@sigames.com)

Makes sense and sounds accurate - I expect someone either accidentally changed that or did it because it has to loop the entire database array to find a player from a UID and they thought it was inefficient (which is it) but unfortunately its needed and done for a reason ..
(I'm on xmas break presently, but have asked the very capable Michael Gormley to take a look)2 -
Just to let you know - we'll try and get this into an update before Christmas (all being well).

Can you do me a huge favor and try and see if any other Chromebook games work on Netflix please? (as so far all I've heard is that there are similar issues with other games, hence me thinking its a Netflix SDK rejection rather than something we have direct control over). I can state that its not something that I myself have any knowledge of being done intentionally (heck I actually have purchased two Chromebooks with my own money in the last few years to ensure that those devices ARE working with FMM - even if only 'informally').
If we know that there are 'some' games which work on Chromebooks through Netflix then that will obviously change the landscape somewhat and it might open up more information to us regarding how to approach things to work around this issue.

Hi @Marc Vaughan,
Is there a route for Netflix customers to raise this issue with Netflix?
I fear this might be an issue that just rumbles on and never gets resolved or receives a meaningful explanation.
Thanks.
In all honesty I don't know (somewhat new to interacting with Netflix myself) - I'd suggest leaving it with us initially and seeing if we can find a way to make things work, but by all means reach out to them and indicate they have customers who are being prevented from using their games because of this.

Annoyingly it looks like Netflix have these devices blocked at present - we're enquiring as to why and whether we can get them enabled ...

Can you indicate which country you're based within please?

Please make sure your Netflix app is up to date on your device and it should (I believe) work fine - I'm updating my Chromebook here and will try and remember to reply and confirm its working here at some point tomorrow, but I have verified that your first premise - ie. Netflix isn't available isn't correct and I've also verified that I can download both that and the game on my Chromebook (but I need to charge it more before I can go further and its 10pm so I'm about to crash out for the day).

PS - What country are you located within out of interest? (as I know some countries don't have access Netflix, but its a very few).

If you can send your save game in then we can take a look at it and see if we can fix your issue - this sort of thing usually isn't the game itself but an issue with the storage device that you're using (ie. bad sector on it or the device powering down during a save occuring).

That sounds wrong - any chance you can send me the save game and I'll look into it.

I manage both national team england and club chelsea... I sacked by england national team, but in manager profile, it said sacked by chelsea.. please fix it.. i will upload file name " Sacked by Chelsea.fms "
Thanks for uploading the save as soon as we get it we'll try and ascertain what is going on and get it fixed (its purely a display issue as you're already aware).

Do you have a custom keyboard input installed/activated as that doesn't look like the default android once I've used ...

It's me btw who puts these weird strings in - they're only for race conditions which should NEVER occur and intended to get us save games/attention when there is an issue in the game which we might otherwise not become aware of.
In the instance you describe here the person has an invalid job set - this means that the game doesn't know what data is valid for him and how it should behave, thus your indication that it should just say 'coach' would be confusing if the person in question was say a 'physio' and all the game can do at this point is guess.
The way it works is the game repairs itself when this occurs but display the string in the hope that someone reports it so we can figure out what is happening and ensure its properly fixed (as I would prefer bugs not to be present in the game).

Stretch display is an option for Android devices with non-standard resolutions largely - simply put we implement a variety of skins for the game at different common resolutions (960x640, 800x480, 1024x768, HDTV etc.) ... however there are always some we don't have covered ...
The game will still run on those devices but will place the application centrally within the screen with a black bordered around it by default - 'stretch screen' tells the app to scale the screen up to whatever the devices native resolution is.
This is left as an option as on some devices (notably very thin letterbox phones) it can warp the text and make it fat/thin which looks odd.
(so sorry but its not intended to reposition the pitch on the match, its for another issue - I'll see what I can do about that for next years version if I've time though, no promises though as I'm rather stacked with work already)0 -
Choppiness generally happens when the resolution of a tablet isn't matched by the processing power it has, some new tablets have ludicrously high resolution but the processor hasn't increased in spec to the same degree as the resolution.
For example if you have a 1024x768 screen with processor A, but then go to 2048x1536 on a new system then you are shoveling 4x as many pixels to the screen each frame ... if the processor is only twice as fast as 'processor A' on the original device then you might see a little jerkiness in some cases, as always we'll keep optimizing things and do our best to keep you running smoothly in the future.0 -
If this occurs then please send me the pkm (after a match you can save down the pkm using the downward arrow icon) - this is called 'divergence' and is a real pain to track down as its incredibly rare on most machines.
(I believe its caused by something within the match engine not being 'cleared' down fully - but it only occurs very rarely and most commonly on machines which haven't been rebooted for a while so have a lot of 'dirty memory' ...)0 -

Another one. Player is looking forward to the next match but at the same time he's jaded and needs a rest.
I've taken a stab at fixing this for FMM23, although without a save it is somewhat 'guessing' as to the cause tbh

Any chance of letting us all know the new features for this years game Marc? Lol, or a hint maybe lol, it was worth a go lol. Would love team talks so we can do a Mike Bassett rant at half time if any of us are 5-0 down at half time lol. You have got us all intrigued now regarding the new additions.
LOL - I'm afraid I never announce features before it's 100% certain they're going into the game - it might surprise you to know that I've developed and 'pulled' features from my games in the past simply because they sounded good on paper but didn't 'gel' with the rest of the product when push came to shove ... as such announcing a feature early might actually force us to keep something in which was detrimental to the game as a whole (in my opinion its not the number of features which makes a particular version fun to play, but how they interact and gel as a whole).

I said when the game was released that I don't think the medical centre was needed or that it was a useful feature. In my opinion I'd rather have something that is a bit more exciting, let's face it, it's not the most exciting feature is it lol. I don't think anyone needs to use the medical centre, I know all I need to know and I'm sure many others do just by looking at your squad screen, I mostly just press the view button and then press condition and then I can see who isn't fit and who is, if a player has played a lot and is only 85% etc then I know to give him a rest. Personally I don't think the medical centre tells us anything we don't already know, if we play a player every match then automatically we know he will be at risk of injury. I would hope for FM Mobile 23 that the medical centre is removed, I just don't believe it's needed or that it's that useful but I know people will find it useful. I have praised the mobile team along with many others on here but there are features that are needed to make the game a little more fun, maybe we get to see them in this year's version.🤞🙏🤞
The medical center isn't the most 'exciting' to a lot of experienced FMM players, however to a newcomer to the game it explains things in more detail and can (hopefully) help them understand what a 90% condition means in real-world terms etc. ... which is why it was introduced.
PS - I think you'll find this years additions more exciting ... hopefully

They've got three points!

im pretty sure i know what this is, had the same issue with how the league works the first year in arg, at some point the entire 28 teams League splits into 14 teams "Relegation League" and 14 teams "Title League", yet the home page still shows the table of the first 28 teams league the whole year, so my guess is its the same kind of thing.
Cool - thanks for the confirmation, I was guessing it'd be something like that - I'll get it looked into.

Any chance of getting a look at your save? (I'm guessing its down to a nuance of the competitions involved - this isn't one I'm familiar with though, probably group splits and only being displayed on one of the pages? - ie. the sort of thing which the Scottish leagues have a habit of doing).

FMM 24 not working on Chromebook

To echo what Dan indicated In the short-term (ie. for this version at least) I'd recommend that you try and find another device to play upon if that is practical, it might be resolved quickly - but its not something under our control or scheduling at this stage, sorry.
