game crashes instantly if you press the 3 dots at the top of the ui during a match

 

This was fixed in 1.7.2

Cheers Matt, it's mainly the emails that have graphic attachments like the below screenshot or if you try and start a discussion like praising a player it can sometimes take 2 minutes to load that conversation or another example is when speaking to a players agent to ask their availability can take a couple mins to load that conversation.

 

 

Did you restore the original game files?

Are you using the UI speed mod? Latest version?

Neither of these are slow on my end, especially not 2 mins, on the default skin or CTRL.

Slowdown isn't something I've seen on my side, so it's difficult to try see if it's something that could be fixed. If you can screenshot which specific inbox item it is next time it happens that might help find the issue.

**EDIT DON'T BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SKIN ISSUE SOLEY AS IT WORKS FINE WITHOUT THE NEWGEN FACEPACK BUNDLE**

 

Hi Gents,

 

LOVE the skin so first off thank you! 

 

Since updating to 1.7.2 i seem to have a huge delay opening email's especially with attachments. I have tried changing response times from low, medium to fast with no difference. Just wanted to ask if anyone else had reported this?

 

Many thanks 

 

Gardy

 

Is this only during the World Cup? SI added a background element to the panel, which has a visibility check for the FWC, this could in theory increase loading times there.

Not something I have noticed myself though, especially nothing significant.

This is by far the best skin!

 

However, this error only occurs on my BepInEx when I use it.

 

It happens when loading certain screens, which obviously take a long time.

 

Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

 

 

These can be ignored.

Doesnt show up. It used to be at the highlighted area. Next fixture section right near the date.

 

Appears to show in other people's screenshots, so I don't think this is a skin issue.

CTRL 26 - 1.7.2 is now available.

 

Fixed

  • Match - Controls - Fixed crash with playback controls button/menu.
  • Match - Team Stats - Replaced the team stats tile with a working version.
  • Scoreboard - Fixed aggregate score display.
  • Scoreboard - Fixed Nation flags/logos loading on unlicensed fixtures.
  • Player Report - Performance - Tidied up the Performance tile layout to avoid overlapping elements.

Hallo Matt, beim mir stürzt das Spiel jedes Mal ab, nachdem die E-Mail “Scoutbericht über Gegner” erscheint. Siehe meine 3 Screenshots. 

Wenn ich die Nachricht (Scoutbericht zum Gegner) im Spiel “als gelesen” markiere geht es bis zum nächsten Gegnerbericht ca. 1 Woche später. Ich habe dies mehrmals mit verschiedenen Spielständen ausprobiert und konnte so den Fehler eingrenzen. 

 

Ich habe Windows 11, nutze den FM über Steam, FM Version 26.3.1. und CTRL Skin 1.7.1 installiert. Alles auf dem aktuellen Stand. 

 

Ansonsten bin ich sehr zufrieden mit deiner Arbeit und dem besten Skin für den Football Manager. Großen Respekt für deine Arbeit!

 

Similar to the other case, this is a new message layout/type for this game update and not something I have changed in the skin. Again I can't replicate it, which makes fixing a possible issue difficult.

Try to verify your files, and reinstall the skin (1.7.1). - https://support.sega.com/hc/en-gb/articles/29454156611985-How-to-verify-the-integrity-of-Football-Manager-s-files

I think the problem is here;

 

 

This isn't something I am able to replicate.

The content of this message is new in this game update (not the skin) - I would highly recommend you to verify your game files in Steam/Epic/Xbox and then install the latest skin version (1.7.1).

I ran into this issue in the 1.7.1 update :/

 

Not sure then. 

Which message type is causing issues? 
What platform? 
What game version?

Hi @Matt, I was checking my usual emails after the latest update when the game suddenly crashed. I just wanted to let you know that this might be an issue you should look into.

 

Update to 1.7.1

Hi mate, loving the skin just making you aware theres a glitch in the tiles on coach report it overlaps shown a screenshot for you. 

 

Will try re-sizing/ordering the tiles on this screen to improve this, thanks.

Looking into the following issues:

 

  • Match Playback Controls - Clicking the “3 dots” menu will crash the game
  • Scoreboard (2nd legs) - Matches with aggregate scores will break the scoreboard layout/design.
  • Match Team Stats - Tile is not showing any data

 

Would avoid using the match controller if possible, or revert back to the default skin for now.

Will hopefully have an update today/tomorrow for this (and anything else that might come up) if I have enough time over the weekend.

So I started Installing One By one WORKING for now with

- the background bundles

-FONTS bundles

-Tableview bundle

Thank you for the update Matt, it looks amazing as always and I really don’t want to play the game without your skin anymore 😀
 

I just saw the update by chance and installed it right away, but sadly the game keeps crashing every time.

Sometimes it crashes immediately, for example when I click on one of my players and try to renew the contract, or after 3-4 days during random things in the game.
 

Just wanted to give you the feedback — thanks for your hard work and for sharing this with us!

 

Pretty sure I know what this is, fixing..

Unfortunately, I don't have the option to update. Any chance you can share the version of the skin that works best with v26.0.6? 🙏

 

The skin didn't exist when 26.0.6 was in use and I'll not be supporting older game versions.

Buy/update the game if you want to use this skin.
