Workaround until they fix it: Try to limit the FPS to 60(with RivaTuner Program from AfterBurner for example) or change your Monitor Refresh Rate to 60Hz(FM hates to run with Refresh Rates above 60Hz)

Well I edited 3 unplayable countries and their leagues and teams, verified all and it's ok. Then I load all of them separately (because you can't add rules all in one) in career game setup->database->editor data files I check the 3 files confirm and start game. But here comes the problem, the kits of all the teams from first country are fine but the other two are in black and white. Why does that happen? I tried everything I think, even Merge in the editor and still.

In my standard control possession 4231 tactic I cannot get my striker to score for the life of me. I have 2 very good strikers with high CA (4 star and 4.5 star) and very good attributes that I rotate regularly. One of them even went 23 hours without scoring which suggests something is seriously wrong with my tactic even though I am dominating most teams I play home and away. Its my wingers who are doing all the work, Id say 70% of my goals and assists come from the wingers. My strikers by far have the lowest average ratings for my team every season, the rest of the team is playing well and contributing a lot to my wins. Im using the standard control possession tactic set to positive mentality (changed to attacking mentality if I am dominating a game and sometimes go defensive when trying to keep a lead late on in the game) with no changes to team instructions. GK - SK (Support) LB - WB (Automatic) LCB - BPD (Cover) RCB - CD (Stopper) RB - WB (Defend) LCM - DLP (Defend) RCM - MEZ (Support) LW - IF/W (Attack) CAM - AM (Support) RW - W (Support) ST - I have tried Advanced Forward/DLF/Complete Forward on attack and none of them seem to be able to score and regularly go through goal droughts. The problem in my eyes seems to lie between the CAM and ST, they dont link up well at all. I have very good strikers and CAMs so Im wondering what would be the best combination of roles and duties to change them to, to get the best from both of them. Preferably without changing the rest of my teams roles and duties as the rest of my team is performing very well.

Like the title, my MacBook Pro is saving my SI Folder in the iCloud folder. If i copy it to my normal documents folder, and delete it from the iCloud, it just recreates it when i launch FM again... Does someone knows how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

So, me and a friend have an online save for FM18. Recently he has experienced crash dumps pretty much every 4 to 7 days (in game). We have tried everything we can think of to fix the problem, without any success. Please come with suggestions or questions regarding our situation, we’ll try anything. Thank you.

as you can see above i cant see half of the page, its just blank. would love some help if possible.

Hi, i recently start an game in FM19 but i can't use the software render option, i have a very old pc and this one is very slow with the animations of GPU render. Can someone please tell me how to use the software render?

So basically love the game. But half way through the first season. Can't buy loan, get free agents. Can't do contacts either. I have redownloaded and downloaded it again about 3 times.

As all fm18 players know, work permits are the bane of everyone's existence, I, understand how they work, but continue to find flaws in the game relating to them, for one: 1) Every time someone fails to get a work permit, a try to send them out on loan, but when explain my decision to the player himself, there is no way to communicate this with them, so instead they build a dislike to me as I loaned them as soon as I got them. 2) Similar to the first, these players refuse to move on loan, after joining, as they dont see a reason to go on loan, as they are 'as skilled' as the rest of my team, so they reject any loan bid. If anyone has any way around this it would be much appreciated, or if fm could fix it so the in game players understand the rule, and instead of not understanding the reason for there loan, it would help alot!

Now, friends i played with Liverpool for 2 seasons, and when i started third i got a game in SuperCup vs Monaco, everything is ok then there is a moment where match needs to start, u know lineups pre talk and thing like that. That is problem, when it shows starting lineups Monaco s team dont have 1 player, their right back is not there it just shows empty space, when i pres to start match and when all intro is over game just crash and show me this message and thats goes all over around and i dont know what to do. So pls hellp me, i would be really thankfull. Game is Football Manager 17.

So I started a career with Boreham Wood, but after a couple of seasons I decided to move on and took a job at Leicester. In my interview for the Leicester job I stated that I'd be happy to work with the current staff. However I did not realize that this would mean that I would not be able hire any new staff (stupid me). I am also not able to fire any staff. Is this going to be a permanent feature of my game or will it at some point let me hire and fire staff? I have only been in the job for less than a season. But this could be a real problem in the future.

Hello! I'm trying to play EHM on my job. I've gotten around the firewall to install it and being able to start steam. The problem is that my "my documents" is on a fictional harddrive, it's synced to the local cloud we have on our job. I've tried to change the directory, but the problem is that when I back out of the folders on EHM when im on the last step before I can see all the drives this message pops up: "The directory "\\SR-Disk-2\" could not be found." So I can't change the save path because the game thinks that the drive it's supposed to save on doesn't exist. I can't save on the fictional disk ether because it says there is not enough memory for the save game. Any help is appreciated

First off, I started a career mode with Liverpool, I spent about 4 seasons before I got sacked. Later on, I accepted Monaco's offer and I have spent about five seasons managing Monaco. I just concluded the fifth season, and there's this strange bug that started obstructing the progress of the game. Counting from the month of June where it updates player career stats and also process the club's finances, a bug suddenly pops up as it quits the game. And on the home screen it says, "Unfortunately FMM18 has stopped." I've tried restarting my phone plus clearing cache, yet the problem remains. I don't know if this can be rectified, but I think it would be my last time playing this game if it eventually happens that there is no solution to solve this problem. I don't want to clear the game data because I do not want to lose the current career mode with Monaco. I mean what's the essence doing that? That is suppose to be the joy/fun we derived from the game. Have you for once encountered such bug? Were you able to solve it and continue your game? Please reply and help a soul, thanks...

Hi Y'all, I was using the mod that unlocks all levels of English divisions and edited to put my youth teams (U23 and U18) into the lowest level. I was just doing it for fun. However, even though they were winning, they never got promoted. I waited for many seasons. No I want to play the Spanish leagues without any leage unlocking mods. Can I still do the same thing in the Spanish leagues and have these youth teams perhaps one day to play me (the senior team) in La Liga? I heard that there is a rule that prevents any B teams to be promoted to the same league that their senior teams play. Would this rule affect my plan on the youth teams? If the youth teams cannot be promoted ever or to the same league that the senior teams are at, can I just put them in La Liga and wait for my senior team to be promoted to La Liga? Thank you!

I'm Andy by name, and I have always been a fan of football manager (mobile version). I've been playing this game for about 4 years now, and I believe the game is matured enough for proper updates. After purchasing the latest FM mobile, I noticed there wasn't much difference from the previous version. In fact, I still prefer playing the 2017 version. I don't know how possible it is to get these updates in the future, but I would suggest my opinion on it. I don't see myself wasting my funds in the future for something that is unsatisfying. While playing the FM mobile 2018, I noticed some issues/updates which I thought you guys could work out about the game. Sometimes transfers don't get through even after agreements with both a player and a club. However, I only experienced this when I tried selling some of my players. The others went well, but one didn't go through as expected. I always received a message via inbox that the transfer of Sinclair can now be completed, but in the message there isn't any option to confirm the sale. The worst part is that the message kept coming repeatedly, I tried transfer listing him again but no clubs were bidding, I checked the player's status and it says (Looking forward to joining Westham). It has been like this for 2 seasons now, please if it could be fixed I would appreciate the developers effort on that. SUGGESTED UPDATES: 1. There should be more media interactions, just like there are match conferences/interviews in real world football with coaches and key players giving their views on few questions, this is how it is in real world football. As a coach, I would like to also comment on players of other teams, and other coaches should be able to do so at my players as well. Much fun could be added when these features are included. 2. It feels boring when playing a game like this without sound. At least when a player scores, there's suppose to be a celebrating sound. This should also apply when my team wins a final or league. There should be congratulatory sound when you beat your toughest rival, it should also apply after a victory on a semifinal match. If I could make a suggestion towards that, I think the popular champions league music should be added plus a celebrating chant when a team wins the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE cup, while every other competitions can have a normal celebrating sound. 3. The developers should also add the most valuable/richest/best teams roaster at every season/year. There should be national teams ranking just like the FIFA world ranking. Lastly, I wanna comment on some common complaints made by some fans, I've seen many people complaining about how difficult the game was to them and thereby rating down FM. To me, the harder the game the sweeter the fun. If the game was too easy for them, they all would still complain. It feels so nice looking for a solution to a difficult problem, that's where most of the fun lies upon. I once felt like them when I had difficulty winning matches, I understood that there were factors responsible for that. I took my time to try different tactics and also tried some players with a different role, and at last it worked out for me for that season! I started winning matches once again. What's more, even in real world football, bigger teams do get beaten by smaller teams at times, most especially when the bigger teams have some problems, like injuries, player morales, fatigue etc. So I don't see any reason why people complain about the game being difficult. Y'all also forgot you once fault/blame Mourinho, Guardiola, Wenger, Conte etc, over some disappointing results they had at a time. Unfortunately, this is how it is with those coaches. It isn't easy as they have to scrutinized their formations, tactics and squads to get the best of them. Some others do complained about getting sacked by the board, I'm fully in support of the board. They have some requirements given to the manager for the season, and if the manager fails to get them what they want, then it shouldn't be any deal getting them sacked. I want the board to be more strict, although sometimes there should be considerations if maybe the manager deserves a second chance. I really hope the developers see this and give in to my epistle on FM mobile. Looking forward to a better update. Regards, Andy...

Hi, since a few days ago I've been trying to start the game, but no luck. Right at the loading screen after starting the game I encountered this problem, that the system encountered a serious error and was forced to close. Crash dump files were also generated. I've tried to update all my drivers, but no luck as well. Now I'm clueless of what to do. I've attached all the generated dump files in this post. I hope that someone can help me.

I have encountered this problem with online gaming. Very briefly: with a friend I started a career onlie. I was a host and he joined as a client. The results of the games he played never matched those that were later reported. Even the matches of my friend's team to whom I was assisting did not correspond to the dynamics, performance and results with what he was actually playing. Example to me results that he had lost 1a0 with an expulsion and goal of Tizio and instead he, in the game he played, had done 2a2 with goal of Caio. How is such a thing possible? It is impossible to play. Can you give me an explanation and understand what the problem is?

I hope you to understand I'm playing FM 2018 in Korean ver via steam. After the game 1 of the CL quarter final, it stops operating as you can see in the picture I attach. It is frustrating me because it's not the first time I have faced. The same problem happened after the game 2 of the CL last 16. At that time, I solved it easily by a vacation because I won the game 1 with a big margain. But not now. I've read some thread, and found you solved this kind of problem in the hotfix. But I play 18.2.2. version, and still suffer this problem. I wish you can solve it. If you need further information about this problem, don't hesitate to send me a message or reply. I'll gladly support on your effort if necessary. Best Regards -Winnie

A couple of my players say they are on holiday in july, but I can’t find for how long they are gone. Where can I find this?

I’m in the 2042 season and the continue button won’t appear. Even after I select the news! And I select a option and it doesn’t change or edit anything. Have reinstalled and still the problem keeps happening!

I bought the game with ipod but i'm not that happy cause obviously it is slow. So only two leagues can be loaded with two databases. Is it normal? Max. Of 10000 players?

My problem is this: a few days ago I crashed a screen for a dead pixel, and I stayed with a smaller one. When it came out the beta had the lowest resolution (since both have different refresh rate and resolution). Well, the problems came when I connected the 1080p 75hz (the one in the photo), which does not detect the refresh rate correctly and the parties have some lag. The only way to work properly is to deactivate the 1080p 75hz screen and leave the 1360x768 60hz. I have tried to use the 1080 in single and nothing, although it gives me a rate of 50hz the games still give lag. By the way, this error happens to me in both windows 10 and ubuntu 17.10
