Available now for you all is an ‘update’ of the pre-order beta, if you have automatic updates on your game will update the next time you open Steam (if you’ve got the game open now, shut it down and then re-launch the game and it’ll update). If you find it is not updating at all, try verifying your game cache as instructed in the FAQ HERE.

If you encounter any type of 'Virus' message when attempting to run the game, this is a false positive. There are no viruses within the FM.exe. We very much suggest adding the FM.exe to your exceptions list. This issue has been encountered when running Avira and Avast.

Once your beta has updated it will make your version number the following:

PC: 326362 Mac: 326348

Included are a number of fixes listed in our ‘changelist’ below. Bear in mind if you’ve raised an issue and it’s not been fixed for this update that does not mean it won’t be fixed for release. Although this is a beta update, this version is still a ‘work in progress’ and is not complete.

Just a quick disclaimer that although we try to include as much as possible, not every single fix which has been made has been included in this changelist, only the major issues raised.

"Fixed mouse cursor hotspot accuracy"

This was annoying me a ridiculous amount before.

I'm liking the update a lot. The processing is so fast that the news feed is often gone as soon as it appears. I hope no-one wants to actually read it. The crossing and marking issues seem to be nicely dealt with too.

i'm having a few problems with the new update... in tactics screen it doesn't show the player names on the board, the new skin is making very difficult to read some news or some stats, the board request is not responding to finding a feeder club and at the end of the list there's a request that looks like this: Error Type = 14 Topic = 3032... what's going on ??
