Football Manager 2018 *Official* Feedback Thread

[Neil Brock]

So it's finally the time you've all been waiting for, Football Manager 2018 is OUT NOW! 

Please as always take the time to raise any feedback within this thread.

There's no changelist given this is the full release version of the game. Rest assured if you've raised an issue during the Early Access Beta process (and thank you very much if you did) the issue will have been documented  and reviewed by our QA team.  If you find anything you consider a bug within the game please take the time to raise them in the Bugs Forum.

So stop reading this and get playing the game! How else are you meant to be able to post any feedback?  

[Neil Brock]

And we are live!

You need to wait until it is available in steam --> tools.

Is there list as to what's changed from 18.0.3 to 18.1?

Looking forward to getting stuck in, thank you SI

[saosinfan4]

Still no editor

[biffykins]

The game doesn't seem to recognise .tac files from the beta. Is this intentional?

[rooneyviet]

finally the day has come.

hope most of the bugs are fixed

No changelist as this is the full version of the game. For any changes you'll have to start up and see for yourself I'm afraid.

That's correct, .fmf files (and the Steam Workshop) are now available.

Meaning -fmev (view) files are useless now?

[Iakovenko]

My update has paused saying 'missing file privileges'. Any ideas how to resolve?

[FMhQ]

Where is the Ajax staff? Where is the editor?

 

[martplfc1]

Regens look better so far (apart from number 2, who looks like he's had a stroke )

Ajax staff is missing due to licenses. Editor is on its way and is expected to be released later today.

[jinodu80]

what are the restrictions in the demo

[Petros7]

The updates paused and it says "missing file privileges". What's that about?

[martplfc1]

Not sure if this is a bug? No fixture scheduled when I'm playing Stoke tomorrow?

[Per Annum]

Trying to keep calm but I'm so majorly gutted about logged UI problems that haven't been addressed. I'm not talking about design choices but genuine instantces of nonsense. 

What's the point?

Looks like a bug. Log it in the bugs forum.

What's the f*king point?

Logged in the beta that not all 7 subs were visible, with the bottom half sub being cut off. Instead of extending it you've cut a bit more of him off.

[GOODNAME]

Finally no lags for me! good job SI

Damn! I despise unnecessary scroll bars.

Maybe worth logging as a further bug.

[Icetuga]

Ok nice full game out but now i have to wait for the pre game editor.

 

That was my point of getting excited for the release cause i need this stuff to get my go to save set up first, i hope it comes soon. 

[SkaldfraNorden]

Why do I have the feeling that this launch is going to be a joke? And in 5 days we'll have 18.1.1.

Team talk to SI - ''warn against complacency''

There's a bar next to the subs to scroll up and down the list. Doesn't look like a bug to me. 

[Per Annum]

Aye mate cheers. I should have included the whole picture - Got this whole massive green space that the pitch and, more importantly, the subs could expand into so that there wouldn't need to be a scroll bar. Hiding the subs behind a scrollbar to keep that prime empty green space is a total nonsense and was logged during beta.

The ball is still black in 2D classic for me 

Refuse to play the game until this is fixed, makes it a terrible experience.

[Nikopol]

First match, aaaand they're all black again

[judicious]

Real names fix was working in beta, no longer working in full version

 

Actually just realised need to put the files in folder 1810, silly me!

Being silly

[Sheriff7]

Why tactics and filters from beta arent in full release game??

BETA and full FM use different file extension, so aren't compatible.

[matisptfan]

UI - especially browsing through different menus - is substantially faster for me.

Game folder changes with each update. You have to repeat the steps.

You have to update folder 1810 again like you did on folder 1801 on Beta version.

thanks, realised after I posted lol

[Chris21]

Someone please tell me the lag in match day is better. I'll be a happy camper then

[Stevicus]

Okay so went to update and it downloaded. Hit play and it's saying Content File locked and I cant play ffs.

 

Whats the fix here, chaps? Already restarted steam. Already uninstalled and re-installed.

[Dagenham_Dave]

I never updated anything on the beta, but have the real name stuff now but not working, do you need to update the original folder as well as the 1801 one? I've only altered the 1801 one so far. 

[FMhQ]

I took a night off to start a game with Ajax but... No staff.. Really annoying to me. If the editor was released also I could do it by myself but I can better sleep right now. This sucks.

Try the following as it may be carrying over the settings from the beta. 

Delete Cache
Delete Preferences 
Reverify Cache

How do you delete the cache on a MacBook, Neil?

EDIT: Think I've found it now.
