There's this:

https://eu.alienwarearena.com/forums/thread/67318/hardware-software/pgu-throttling-issues-power-settings-not-being-upheld

It looks like this has been the case for years, looking at the age of some of the stuff I found.

I suspect it is, as gaming graphics cards tend to be a big power draw, so your laptop may be throttling it when it's not plugged into the mains. Is there a specific power settings program that came with the laptop, or does it just use the standard windows settings?

I've not been playing FM at all recently, so I'm not sure what the issues with the latest patch are. If you know of one, pop a description and ideally a screenshot up here, and I'll try and fix it.

Have you tried changing the zoom level?

Nopenopenopetynope.

Both folders go directly into the skins folder. The small sidebar version inherits from the standard one, it just has a couple of changed files.

I have the stadium background pack and up until today I had it working with this skin.
I went into the skin folder and deleted the background images and reloaded the skin and it worked but for some reason I have loaded it up today and for some reason its no longer working and the background files are back in the skin folder even though I havent got the Steam Workshop version and havent updated to 1.1 manually.
This has left me really confused.


Deleting the backgrounds is unnecessary, stadium backgrounds should be visible by default. No idea how they came back, mind.

Can see the background just at the side, but the main panels are dark instead of transparent. The same on every screen and also every skin I've tried. Cheers


That looks like another skin has been merged into it (there's no glass effect in the titlebar either). I'd recommend going back to the default skin, then removing the contents of your skins folder and re-extracting them one at a time to see if it happens again.

Thanks for your reply Deano. I had used that path but it wasn't happening, but I've got it working fine by subscribing to it via the Steam Workshop, nice and easy. This is one of the best skins I've seen so congratulations on it.
One thing; I have downloaded the backgrounds megapack. I can see a bit of the backgrounds where the sidebar is, but the main panels of the screen like where the player profile is or news or squad screen for example aren't transparent like they appear to be on the screenshots so I can't see the majority of the backgrounds, any ideas on how I can change this? Because I've always loved the backgrounds on previous versions of FM, makes each team unique. Cheers


Could you pop a screenshot up, so I can see what the problem is?

Im having trouble installing this lovely skin. I extracted to "sports interactive>football manager>skins" but when i try to locate steklo in "preferences>interface>appearance" it doesn't show up. Can anybody help please. Im using 15.2.1 version.


You've not accidentally extracted the skin folders into a subfolder have you?

i.e.

My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/skins/Steklo_X5/Steklo_X5

rather than:

Hey,

probably a stupid question, but how can you actually edit the xml files (I want the instant result button)? Is there some program that you need to have to do this? Because now when I open a file, it opens in a browser and I can't edit anything there.


Notepad will do the trick.

I've posted an update, so the download is now v1.1 I would have done it sooner, but I wanted to put the update in the steam workshop too, but that doesn't seem to want to let me update anything.

Will this work with version 15.1.3? Awesome skin btw, it looks so clean!!


No. And you really should buy the game.

wow. nice works!
and..Do you know why no output Character on the left sidebar icon (U21 and U18 )?


Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about this, as that text uses the sidebar colour setting )the colour you see on the standard skin when you look at a team that isn't yours) and I've had to make that transparent for Steklo.

Game makers should recognize fan's expectations. SI obviously lost this skill. FM is going good only because there is no other game like this. And this is only one reason why FM is still popular. Basing on polish fans FM sites I can tell you this popularity is decreasing every year. I used to play FMs and earlier CMs since the beggining. And watch now. Last FM i played was 12 (I player only few seasons). If fans like my are leaving the game it obviously mean something is wrong.

I gave you an example how to improve game. Even if its not my job. Tactic should be more detailed, scouting should give you option to set scouting budget, allow you to select area to watch (like north brasill, south-west argentina, City A or City B etc).

In training section there should be option to set training programs to every day in week, including time of day. There should be alot of categories of training like 3vs 3 on small goals, 5 vs 5 on big goals, monkey in the middle (or how you call this game in english) etc.

I have much more 'ideas', problem is they aren't my. They are just innovations from previous FM's/CM's.

So i f you thing this game is 'good', and worth to buy, well I wish you to play finally a good FM/CM.


Going back to this post, have you any idea how unbelievably boring micro-managing the game to that level would be? I've already got a job, I don't want another one I don't get paid for.

Also, how do you know your ideas are 'more realistic'? SI have actually spoken to people involved in football management, so they've probably got a better idea of what is realistic and what isn't.

Monopoly = loosing quality, FM15 = wasting money.. Maybe SI should stop releasing game for 1-2 years and create something new. fresh, Innovative, more realistic.

Firstly I was blaming people for supporting such a bad game. But Iindeed I cannot expect anything more because it is the only existing football manager symulator. Damn.


FM is the only game produced by SI, they can't afford to not produce something for a couple of years.

It should be exactly the same as FM14. I think the preferences screen looks a little bit different with the new layout, but the folder structures for logos, etc. are all the same.

Any idea of what could be wrong? The two 'bars' are not complete as you can see. The continue bar and the 'overview, contract... etc.' bar


Apparently, it's the rendering mode. I've no idea why, but changing it fixes the issue.

Which skins?
Did you get them through the steam workshop or direct from sites like susie?
Are you both running the latest version on FM (15.2.1)?
What does your folder structure look like?

You're not going to get a lot of help if you don't provide information

We might finally have an official launch of the network in the UK and Ireland (let's wait for Sky to kill it 20 seconds before it goes live)

One question Tom Is it possible to have ,statistic panel, in player profile?

EDIT I saw that on SI Forum someone ask You about rebuild player profil for more info and you paste screenshot with one extra panel It's super but do you thinking about adding "statistic panle" in there?


Not sure what you mean by 'statistics panel'. Have you got a screenshot of it in another skin?

Hi Tom

I hope i uploaded this screenshot correctly. First time i'm using imgur. Do you know why I cant see the dropdown menu to make first team players available for U21 or U18 teams when lacking match fitness.

my screen resolution is 2560x1440.

Thanks

What zoom level are you using? I've got that news item and the drop down is visible on mine. I've tried different zoom levels and it seems to be fine on all of them

excuse my sidebar on the left is always red. Can anyone tell me how to put the same color as the image of Tom ??


You shouldn't need to do anything, have you modified anything else on your game? It may be clashing with the skin.

If the steklo folder is in your skin folder with other skins, I'm not sure how it isn't working. Your FM version is at least 15.2, isn't it?

the problem sidebar is red I DONT WANT RED COLOUR,I WANT IT TRANSPARENT; HOW CAN I DO?


1. Don't keep re-upping the thread with the same demand, you're not owed anything so try to be patient.

2. Have you tried restarting FM? (as I stated in the first post), if you haven't the sidebar colours from the default skin (or whatever skin you had loaded) will still be cached by the game.
