I'm wondering if someone can help me solve a problem i'm having with FM16. I can't seem to load any of my saved games anymore with the loading bar only progressing about an inch before it stops loading completely. I have tried getting a solution on the sports interactive forums without any luck with moderators telling me things like uninstall my anti-virus, clear cache, remove custom graphics, uninstall game etc. i have tried all of these things.
However, one guy did comment on my post with a similar problem and found a temporary fix by creating a new user account on the laptop for windows and loading the saves on that which works but doesn't on my main windows account. I was wondering why this was the case? I guessed it was maybe something to do with permissions but they all seem fine.
Help would be appreciated.
Cheers

If you remember how long ago it was that you stopped being able to load the saves then make sure you select a restore point from before that date, so you can revert back to a time when they were still loading. Go to control panel, system and maintenance, back up and restore centre, there should be an option titled ''Use system restore to fix problems and undo changes to Windows', click on that. You don't want the recommended restore point because that is the most recent one and not far back enough, select '' choose a different restore point'' and click next, you should see an option on bottom of screen that says ''show restore points older then 5 days', select it. Now you have a list of all your restore points and you can select one that was created before you had the problem with your saves, click next and finish. System restore won't touch any of your documents, pictures or other personal data, but if you want to back them up on usb anyway that is up to you. I have used system restore lots of times, its very simple and nothing can really go wrong with it.
p.s. instructions to perform system restore are based on my windows vista os, so the process might be a bit different depending on your os, anyway good luck...

Thanks very much for the reply mate. I'm currently using Windows 10 and will try a restore point as you suggested.
Here's hoping this works!

I find it strange how my saved games load on another Windows account though?

I have already tried on their forums and they have told me to do a load of things which haven't worked.

I had custom graphics downloaded but removed them and still didn't work. I uninstalled/installed a few times and still didn't work either.
I have now got it working though! I just done a factory restore and got everything working again, wasn't ideal but at least i have it working.

oh great, i was going to suggest factory restore but I didn't want you to end up accidently reverting back to windows 8, glad you got it sorted anyway...

I know factory restore was a last resort, wasn't getting anywhere regarding a fix. Didn't have anything to lose anyway, just saved my saves on to a hard drive and they work now. I know, hate windows 8 so just had to install windows 10 again.
Thanks for the help though, much appreciated!
