Scorpio v2.1 for FM 2015

Game doesn't load. Gets stuck on the loading screen. I did a clean install of the folders.

Deleted 1.8 and the game works fine. 1.7 works fine as well.

Hi there,

Skin is great, I've been using 1.7 for a while with no problems whatsoever. However, I am encountering a myriad of problems since updating to 1.8. They seem to appear during matches only. For example, the game crashing after hanging when starting a match at the bit where it says, 'the players are warming up, please wait'. During matches the action pauses for a very long time sometimes i'm left with a blank screen for a long time. If I press the windows key then click on the fm 2015 icon it fixes the issue straight away. I've not experienced any crashes or any other issues at all when playing fm 2015, they have only occurred since using version 1.8. I'm playing on pc by the way.

Are you on mac?

I'm not sure why'd you're having issues, I tested this version for about 16 hours and never had any hangs or crashes. The only thing I can suggest is verifying your files through steam and re-installing the skin.

Hi, no - PC Windows 7.


EDIT - played around with it a bit - it *may* have to do with the Small sidebar skin.

Loaded up the game w/o moving the folders over. Loads up fine - while in game, I move the folders over - exit out of the preferences and go back to see the skin options. When I choose the small sidebar, the game just turns to a black screen (but I can still move my mouse around). I have to force exit and remove the folders / reload game.

When I do the same process, but choose the regular Scorpio skin - it works absolutely fine. Using 1.8, "regular" Scorpio skin and it is working with out issues so far. I then re-chose the small sidebar skin again, same issue. Black screen. Hope this helps - let me know if I can provide any more info.

Did you copy the files from the small sidebar folder into the Scorpio folder? You don't need to move any files, all three skins will work fine exactly how the are inside the zip file, you just need to extract them inside your skins folder.

Sorry. Move Files = Move folders. I unzipped them, and copied them over to the skins folder.

Is this error only in my game? Or how can i fix it?

hi,ive just downloaded this but as you can see in my screenshot there is no kits displayed,how can i get this right?thanx

I'm working on a fix

I have tried it on other skins and my sidebar doesnt dissapear when clicking on other pages it just dissapears on this one,do you know why?i think this skin is the best one out there so im going to stick with it just need abit of help,thanx

You need to change "<colour name="colour side bar" red="15" green="15" blue="15" alpha="150"/>" on line 21 of 'Scorpio settings.xml' and "<colour id="accent_colour" red="15" green="15" blue="15" alpha="150"/>" on line 10 of 'accent colours.xml'. Both files are located in the 'settings' folder. After you change those lines you need to restart Football Manager, not just reload the skin.

Brilliant skin, just got one thing to check. Since updating to 1.8 I have noticed that a few times I have seen the top "header" panel greyed out so I can't really make out anything. This always happens just before I am going to enter into a match, as you can see it is greyed out in the red boxed area below.



Is there anyway to change this, even a way to change the colour of the text to white, just on this screen?

Again, wannachupbrew you are a genius and this skin is fantastic.
