I have a 4K laptop and want to play FM18 on it but for some reason I don't have any options to change the screen resolution. Pushing the game in 4K is making it super laggy and my laptop gets all glitchy. I tried changing it from Geforce Experience but that didn't do anything to it. Also tried window mode but that still ran it in 4K. I put some steam launch options to run it in 1080p but even that didnt work. Not sure what I can do at this point. Also to mention my laptop is running standard at 3:2 aspect ratio if that is an issue I'm not sure.

Hey guys, I'm currently managing Dartford in the Conference south in my 1st season. It's Jan 2018 and we are currently sitting Top of the league, only losing two games so far. My coaching qualifications & past playing history is on the default for Dartford. My team cohesion is Average, Dressing room atmosphere is Good & Managerial support is also Average. How can I improve these stats? The squad is only 'content' with the training sessions which my coaches take care of. Could the training influence the dynamics? If so, how can I alter the training sessions for the better? I can provide screenshots if needed. Lastly, my team talks are usually good and I've only upset two players so far. Both were not influential squad members. I sold one of them and the other is on the transfer list. All advice is appreciated. Kind regards, Reece.

Bear with me, as I haven't much of a clue where to put this as it's not technically a bug but it's also not technically a game issue either - if a mod can move it to the appropriate forum if it's in the wrong forum, that'd be grand. But I've encountered a very strange and frustrating problem with the game via Steam in that no matter what I do, the desktop and start menu shortcuts I created have stopped working and don't load the game. I have tried numerous times to rectify this issue by uninstalling and then reinstalling both the game and the editor, but to no avail. The Steam support wasn't exactly helpful either. Can someone please help with this issue as it now means I am having to run Steam directly to get into my games rather than be ab;e to have the shortcuts there on the desktop.

Hi just bought game. I believe my laptop meets requirements but no fix is working. dxdiag data is attached. help desperately needed. a frustrating evening so far. thx DxDiag.txt

Keen to take a look under the hood at a few roles to see exactly what they're coded to do? And then potentially play around with a few I don't believe work as they should if the coding is straight forward enough.

Hi Player names changed from real names to fake suddenly from a game save to the next. It worked perfectly yesterday, I realized the player name change today when I loaded the lastest game and I realized names where again fake on certain players. You can check it here: https://goo.gl/8rxxWM ironman2.fm is the last save, from yesterday 23:09. It has fake names. ironman4.fm is 4 saves before, yesterday 18:50. It has correct real names. If you load both, you'll easily reproduce the problem (as shown on the images below). Between those 2, I did 3 more saves. All have fake names (ironman5.fm, ironman6.fm and ironman1.fm). They are in the sub-folder "Saved games between those two"). Seems that the problem was between ironman4.fm and ironman5.fm. You can clearly see the problem in the provided images. Problem is I played 4 matches in between. Is there any solution or I am forced to replay from ironman4.fm again? Why did this happen? Yesterday it was showing the correct names. Is there any way I can prevent this for the future? Many thanks in advance for the help!! PS: I already tried all the normal workarounds: cleared cache, cleared preferences, rebuilt files from steam, etc. Seems to be related with the saved game, not with the files I use in-game, sadly. PS2: If this can be solved, I'd be very happy to have ironman2.fm corrected, which is my lastest game. - paketeh

Hi all! Since 2015 came out, I've been completely stumped. 2014 and below, I've done at least reasonably well with some good successes and understandable failures. Yet since 2015 it's been a losing battle between me and the AI. Whether it's full or classic mode, Lille, Arsenal or Shanghai, I can't seem to produce good results. In fact, since 2016, I haven't won a single classic game. Most of the time I get slaughtered. I've read pretty much all of the documentations from this site and others regarding tactics, training, team talks and more and have learned a lot along the way, yet I'm still struggling. I even bought myself a whiteboard to write tactical ideas and game scenarios. The opponent just always seems to be better in every scenario - it's infuriating! My most common (and preferred) setup is to play expansive football with a mid-high, light team press, in which possession is controlled by a three man midfield consisting of a deep lying playmaker (D), a central midfielder (S) and an attacking midfielder (A), or two central midfielders (D, A/S) and an attacking midfielder (S/A). I use at least one attacking fullback (the other being support) as part of a single pivot defensive system. I alternate between wingers and wide midfielders and prefer an advanced striker over a deep lying striker. I play a sweeper keeper if the team has a decent option. So typically I end up playing 4231/4411 (sometimes 4123/451/442 if my lack of wins gets to me, but this doesn't help anyway). I almost always use 3 attack, 4 support and 4 defend duties (incl. GK). I used to play a structured/control setup but I'm now alternating between flexible and fluid. As a rule, I like to keep my team and player instructions as minimal as possible (apparently this is good, plus it matches my ideals to a tee) - I set my teams out to roam from their positions more in an attempt to create as much space as possible, and offer more unique supportive and penetrative options for the first attacker. I very rarely touch player instructions, as I don't want to delve too far away from the teams setup. When in-game, I watch the first 15 minutes on full match to see how my team are doing - we almost always end up conceding possession due to what I can only describe is the opponent being one step ahead of us. My team seem slow and hesitant on the ball, as if they're trying to slow down the game. They constantly lose the ball by holding onto it for too long, or booting it unnecessarily! Then when the opponent have the ball, they repeatedly tear us to shreds! I tend to leave my training and match preparation to my assistant, as I prefer the supervisory sort of role that allows me to concentrate on how to arrange the team in matches according to the opponent and my playing style. I always keep my press conferences as positive and upbeat as possible, and almost always get positive reactions in team talks through a passionate/assertive, do or die for the game encouragement style. I get my scouts to look for players with good off the ball or positioning attributes and choose the best suited players for the team from there. I've tried completely radical changes as well as gradual differences, I've tried playing different teams of different stature as well as managing such teams (I usually play in the PL, Championship, League 1 or French Ligue 1) yet I seem to have little to no luck in any department! Ive attached an example of my current tactics, but I'm sure it's nothing that I haven't already mentioned. Any help on this will be hugely appreciated, as I'm currently contemplating pulling my hair out!! If you've made it this far, thank you for reading through my pain!

So I have followed all of the online requests when football manager won't start such as: graphics cards updating, antivirus software, uninstalling and re-installing, validating game files, power settings etc. But every time i attempt to start up i get a message 'sorry, something went wrong, for solutions please visit:' upon clicking the link i get the message 'Currently your game purchase cannot be re-validated successfully, please wait 24 hours and try again. I have waited 24hours numerous times but nothing works? I am into my third season and so i am unsure as to why this keeps happening?
