Excellent news! Creating an Epic account in 1,2,3…. (and it's no sarcasm…) :-)

One question,if one have played the game on XBox Gamepass and added real names fix and so will those function via Epic or do one have to either move their location or re-download and re-apply them and how with saves. Just a question re between for example Steam,Xbox Gamepass PC and Epic.

I'm pretty sure you'll have to reinstall it, check the installation instructions for the real name fix and it has specific game pass locations.

ty,of course i should just gone to the installation instructions and compare, the folders between the different things,sometimes one just gets lazy

Hey thanks for the heads up!
For me, it's showing “buy now” and at the checkout it's showing $74.99. Is there any code I can put in to skip payment?
Thanks

I suspect its unlocked at a certain time when all of world are in the correct date,that st least experienced at Steam and wouldnt be surprised if Epic do a similar thing. Advice could be to find the free games thing at Epic Games Store,there Football Manager 2024 stands ss Coming soon plus 5-12 of September as the dates. So best to wait dome hours at least . And usually with free gsmes at Epic there are no code to enter,instead it shows the discount both on game page and before confitming order

I'm about to finish the Demo version on Steam. Is there any way I can continue my steam save with epic? I think i can also just carry over my Graphics catalogue and that's it?
stenpart
Not sure if there is but one test one could do are to save the demo save locally on computet,then i think it might be possible either by moving the save or navigate via Losd game to get the save continued från thr demo on Steam to Epic but dont hang ne on it,i have the same thinking re my Gamepass save being able to continue on Epic.
Zaki Evans
is the game will be played free for ever or just a week ?
stenpart
As far as i understand it free forever as long a "purchased and downloaded within the free week

Up and running in FM24 via the free copy from Epic,only thing i had to do was to delete a few folders and paste in the ones from the game pass installation,everything else work without any extra work. Just decline setting up new manager and then at load game and then one will get the saves to choose to load.
Quite nice and easy Not i think it might secure me from getting sacked at Degerfors IF..2027 i got them to 4th place in Allavenskan.10 natches into 2028 season we are nr.14 instead . Feeling like this calls for a series called Save my season heh.
Ah well,hope you didnt feel this was too lengthy comment into things
Ridho Ditama
claim it, and play forever
