The beauty of the tool, FM Skin Builder, is that it is easy of use, it has documentation in the website to help newcomers, it has a FAQ in its Discord channel in the FM Match Lab’s server, Zims Mula has a video about it, and there’s a video that tells how to install skins in a Mac. Adding to this, there’s a dedicated channel in the above mentioned server where people can ask for help,

 

Therefore, for the OP and any other comments complaining about dark skins, be our guest and use the tool. Do it yourself like the skin creators thar started from scratch and learned to use the tool by, well, using the tool via trial and error…

 

I wasn't complaining about dark skins tbf, I use them often, I just like having a light skin option as well, I tend to flick between light/dark mode on most things depending on the weather and lighting where I live.

Would love to have a light skin for FM26 if anyone knows if there is one/there are plans to make one?

any idea when the next update will be? will they be doing more bug fixes and stability improvements or will we have to wait for those in the big winter window update in March?

yeah, I deleted all my editor data files and it works now so will try re-adding them till I figure out which one is causing the issue

so after the latest patch, my game won't let me start new careers, it just hard crashes when I try to start one up, doesn't even get as far as letting me pick what leagues to load. 

 

started after I used the pre-game editor so will see if it works without it, posting this here in case anyone else has the same issue or knows the cause!

shouldnt need “fixing” they have had 2 years to sort this, no sympathy for Miles and his 2nd rate team

 

ideally yeah, though I am glad they are at least making it playable now, it's still not got a patch om FM24 but I'm no longer so fed up with bugs and crashes that I don't want to play at all so I will that that as a win.

Very good. It means they are taking care of issues. I think it will be available tomorrow for non beta stable download?

yes I have this too, it's a visual UI glitch, hopefully something that gets fixed eventually as it's annoying and makes team selection feel a bit sluggish at times

personally my main takeaway is that “save team selection” is BACK in the game, which I am so happy about as it's a feature I used all the time on FM24, lots of bug fixes as well so fingers crossed it helps make the game run smoother at least.

 

still a ton of issues in the game I'm sure and the UI is still rubbish but I feel like they are at least trying to fix this game as much as they can.

my game is now completely broken since the launch day update.

 

I load into a save or start a new game, go forwards a day or two then try to view my squad and it hard crashes.

 

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, verifying game files, removing all mods + extra files, everything and the game always hard crashes.

 

anyone else have this issue or have SI reserved this game breaking bug especially for me?

 

can't even get a refund on Steam anymore.

 

beyond furious, beyond devastated, I feel completely betrayed by SI.

Hey guys, just wondering if there is a way to download complete facepacks for older FM games, for instance I recently installed FM 2016 on my new PC as I fancied playing it but I can't find a good cut out facepack for it anywhere, I know you can download updates from that time on here but I wondered if there was a way to download a complete pack from that time (so in this case 2015) or indeed for any other time periods (if people want to get them for FM15/17/18/19, etc)

hey guys, just wondering if anyone can tell me how to or mod for me the default FM white skin so it has a darker colour for the team name in player histories, league tables, etc?

I like using the white skin during the day time when I play the game but the light blue that FM uses by default is really hard to see and just doesn't look good when you play the game, I know this sounds relatively minor but it really gets under my skin lol

appreciate any replies x

Gents,

Downloaded but haven't had the chance to get stuck in yet, how long does the beta last; till january? And also, is this pretty much the full game version or shall i wait till the 4th as opposed to starting up a decent save only for it to be a poor mans version of the original?

Many thanks in advance!


the beta lasts as many seasons as you can play during it, it's basically the full game just with a few bugs that still aren't worked out and without features like DLC or the pre game editor available in it.

So I have to get a new PC cause my graphics card on my current one died, this is what I am looking at; http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/desktop-pcs/desktop-pcs/hp-omen-870-003na-gaming-pc-gun-metal-10146516-pdt.html

vital stats are;

CPU - Intel i5 6600k (3.5ghz quad core with 8mb cache)

RAM - 16GB ddr4

Graphics - AMD Radeon R9 390X (8GB)

HDD - 2TB HDD @ 7200rpm and 128GB SSD

basically I want to know how well this would run FM17, like could I run a LOT more leagues than I do right now kind of thing, would it run the 3D match engine on max settings? etc.

ta for any replies
