*Official* Football Manager 2013 Constructive non-ME Feedback Thread

[Lucas]

My version says 13.1 is that correct

yes it is

[NDavis95]

Apparently my computer performance is half a star and so is my game speed. With only the Premier League loaded up. Not right im guessing. Going to load up my normal few league and see how it is

Looking for a reply to someone asking why there is no dark skin. I found a people asking why but no reply from a SI member to explain why it has been removed this year. Can someone please tell me why and dont just say "because they said there wont be one."

It has not been removed. For it to be removed it must have existed in the first place. It simply hasn't been created this year.

We made a decision to concentrate just on one skin for FM this year, to suit all tastes. Likewise we did one for FMC. There is no 'light' or 'dark' skin as such this year. We've taken feedback on board in regards to perhaps doing a different skin at some point but nothing has been announced so far. Thanks.

Do you have any kind of anti-virus installed? If so what type?

Also try reverifying your cache as shown here - http://www.sigames.com/faq/fm13.php?id=83

Can you try changing from GPU rendering as explained here? - http://www.sigames.com/faq/fm13.php?id=86

Let me know if this helps, thanks.

[Chris24]

Just wondering gents if this is normal, my game has updated by creating local game cache files is seemingly not moving, is there any risk if I cancel this process?

[scott MUFC]

why did that GPU stuff happen now and not in beta.

that bug is blergh

I vote for the FMC skin available on the full game!!!!

[Fabio MVP]

So, my game is now fully up-to-date. What I would like to know is, are there any plans for any eventual patches/updates in this week? If I may, I would really like to know this because I would wait to start my long term save game after those eventual patches/updates. I know that PaulC said that there will be an ME update this month or in about a month or so. I you cannot tell me or if you don't know then I understand. Thank you in advance.

I know it's a rush hour at the moment, but may I have the answer to this please. It's really important to me.

I don't believe there are currently any timescales on updates

As always no updates will be announced until announced. There are no plans at this stage for any updates, thanks.

[Chris24]

Thanks very much Neil, it's must appeciated

[gazza320]

thank you. issue seems to be resolved. time to get playing

Thank you very much.

[jase19]

Is there only the one *white* colored skin right now? Always prefered the darker skins...

[JohnW079]

As a rare poster on the forums I thought I would share my feedback (as requested in the thread title!)

1) I will only use the "full fat" version. I don't see the point of FMC (though I understand the reasoning to wish to market to the lapsed audience)

2) I have been playing for about 25 minutes and have found it smooth, easy to use, a little more bloated in terms of info on screen (see 3) and overall it has been positive

3) The vast array of data on many screens is simply incredible: I do find the home page of the manager and some such as the player stats screens etc. very difficult to process and perhaps some could have been toned down (particularly when looking at the league stats of players within a league)

As I said I don't post often, but I hope this is helpful after a short time.

Thanks.

[big daddy]

Same here, ignore it and Press play

[superposh]

Only had time to play one match, I have to be up in four and a half hours for work. :-( First impression of updated match engine. Thumbs up.

[22players]

No anti-virus, I have validated the steam files loads already. It just says preparing to launch and nothing works. i have mac book , do i need to change anything on system prefences?

[MattStatto]

Has league history in clubs' history screen been fixed so it shows all previous seasons? And will it be fixed for existing save games and not just new ones?

The desktop icons for the Editor and Resource Archiver appear to be missing, is this intentional or a minor bug?

[Deisler26]

Hi, Neil.

Can you look at this?

[video=youtube_share;yq2E6Oy__Mo]

I uploaded the 7-1 highlights, or so I thought, and it's brought up the mythical 2-1 defeat again!

[Thierry Henrhys]

Hi Neil.

Well done to all you guys for FM13 and thanks for being on here at stupid o'clock to provide support.

All I'd like to know is what the patching strategy is this year?

Cheers

Ps is the dark skin ready yet?

Edit: just seen up the page that this has basically been answered.

Anyway, I'm away to play more FM13. Have to admit match engine isn't as enjoyable to watch this year but, as it's only release, I'm sure it will come good.

Os x 10.5.8

[Lucas]

They are in the Tools section of the Steam Library. To create a shortcut try this: http://www.sigames.com/faq/fm13.php?id=66

OSX 10.5 is no longer supported this version I'm afraid, you'll need to upgrade to play FM13

[aaron1606]

Have you installed them? They need do separately on the Tools Library page

[Lucas]

I'm sorry that's below Mac Minimum Specifications you'll need to upgrade to 10.6 I'm afraid.

[22players]

.This game is currently unavaible. update required. steam

[JimiJames]

Cross comes in heading towards keeper, should be an easy stop i think to myself but, Oh No keeper is to weak to stop it being a goal,

FFS this is one of the first goals i see, i thought this was fixed, I genuinely hope this was a complete fluke!!!!

[22players]

So i can't play it, what the hell?

[Twellman24]

I spent $20 to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6. Wasn't such a big deal.

What do you mean "what the hell"? IT said it in the requirements. It's there. It's like wanting to play an xbox game with a ps3. You dont have what you need to play it.

[Lucas]

So i can't play it, what the hell?

It's clearly stated in the Mac Minimum Specifications I'm afraid. you'll need to upgrade to 10.6 or greater to play.

Unfortunately the changes to this years game has meant that the minimum system requirements have as well.

[essien_5]

I understand an update was done when installing the full game. Is it right then that I'm on 13.0.0, or should this be different?

[Ant Farley]

13.1 is the correct version number essien_5

[Nasarius]

That is correct.

So, even indisputable bugs like a missing player (which I reported elsewhere) aren't going to be fixed until January? I really don't understand that.

Please don't take quotes out of context as that is when the next planned update is for the database, not for general bug fixes, which there are no plans for yet.

[SRL88]

Not sure if this is some setting I have clicked by accident, but I am not keen on when you click on the score of a full-time result and it takes you straight to the match report/pitch rather than the overview. Just takes longer to load.

Yeah we are aware of that, not so sure that would be easy to change.

Its just a minor gripe rather than a big issue.
