Want to write for our blog? Get in touch about becoming a sortitoutsi writer.

A quick announcement to say we’ve just released an update containing a number of fixes for Football Manager 2013. We want to thank everyone for their feedback so far, it has been very much appreciated and alongside the reports in the Bugs forum it’s really allowed us to make some of these improvements.

As with all updates it is save game compatible and you will be able to continue your save game. To update you will need to close the game down and re-launch for it to update. If this does not work for you or you feel it has not updated you will need to restart Steam.

Once updated the version number will be 13.1.2, more specifically the full version numbers are listed below:

PC: 330075
Mac: 330073

Just to emphasise, there are NO MATCH ENGINE CHANGES in this update. As some of you are aware PaulC and his team are hard at work on the match engine but more time is needed to both code and test all these changes.

Likewise there are no database changes, if you start a new game the database number will remain 13.0.0.

A changelist is included in the post below.

If you’ve posted an issue on the bugs forum which has not been fixed in this changelist, do bear in mind we’ve only put in the most important fixes which we have been able to test enough to be sure they will not cause issues elsewhere. Just because an issue has not been included in this update does not mean it has been ignored.

We hope you continue to enjoy playing Football Manager 2013 with this update. Thanks

Changelist 13.1.2

The new build includes, but is not limited to, the changes below:

GENERAL/PERFORMANCE

Forgot to say, you will probably need to save and exit your game, then completely close and re-open Steam for this to download.

Na you can continue your current game, though it is always recommended to start a new to get the full effect.

I never start a new game so i wouldn't worry about it.

Would just be a couple from the "COMPETITIONS & RULEGROUPS" category from that list that would require a new game.

Had the same problem, just reset your preferences to default and clear cache + reload the skin and you'll be fine.

I had this same problem and that solution didn't work, I even removed the game then downloaded it fresh same problem.

It will auto update the next time you open up Steam, so it probably already has without you knowing.

Remove any downloaded skins, then clear cache, reload skin etc and see if its back to normal.

Nope, i wouldn't have thought so. Don't see what difference it makes unless your using a cracked version of the game...

Made sure you're not confusing the database version and the game version?
