[SVB]

Anyone else's game keep crashing since the update!! I've had no problems with fm14 so far but can't get past 10minutes of a game without it crashing

 

[f00tiemad]

wont even update for me ive signed out of steam twice n stil 14.0.0 one.

normally works when i do that

 

[r1niceboy]

Completed my first game since the patch. 0-0. That's the first no score draw I've had in a long, long time. We'll see how this progresses.

 

[SVB]

I keep getting a runtime error at the start of every match anyone know how to fix this

Yeh guy about 3-4 threads down had the same issue, have a look in there. glanbo i think he name is?

 

[mwhitehorn07]

im just glad you guys put spaces in between the changes, UNLIKE the official changelog on the SI site.

 

[CoryJacko]

Is it me or does the AI seem to have an awful lot of shots since the patch?

 

[jeff40]

once you have updated it in steam load your game in to the start menu then quit it
go to your fm icon in steam and right click on it then go to properties
go to local files then click on it and then click on verify integrity of game cache
if there is errors in there it will fix them and then once done reload your game and see how it goes
if it still the same give up

[TommyTomster]

After applying the update my players lost alot of tactical knowledge, it was almost completely fluid, now they know jack ****....

 

[Scotty98TR]

After downloading this patch, Ozil has suddenly dropped to 'Unconvincing' as a MR, when he was previously accomplished :/

 

[TommyTomster]

Also, i could just be super unlucky, but recently i have had little to no injury trouble, first match i play after the patch i get two 6 weeks injuries on 2 key players..... Hmmpf. Won the game 3-1 though, so it didnt seem like the loss of the tactical knowledge were too harmful...

 

[Joey Numbaz]

I am having the same problem as TommyTomster, with the patch, the team has lost tactical familiarity they've built up since training started, it's now late October (England). Specifically passing style and closing down.

 

[Joey Numbaz]

OK, so I reloaded my save from before the patch, after verifying the integrity of game cache. It looks like all tactical familiarity is there. But the save I made after the patch, but before checking my familiarity seems to have lost that knowledge forever. I guess I'm going to back to the original save point and play again. If I only lose 5 days and nice 3-0 win that broke a losing streak it won't be the end of the world. If that familiarity disappears again after playing I'll let you know.

 

[Joey Numbaz]

And there it goes, the tactical familiarity in those categories is lost before my first match. I didn't check after each 'continue', but my guess is something happens during match preparation before the game. I was set to 20% (the dot was just before the 4th vertical line on the bar) and "teamwork" as my preparation focus.

This really kind of sucks. Hopefully they can fix it soon.

 

[TommyTomster]

Really sucks getting a setback like that midseason...

 

[mike887]

i think i jinx myself as i had an unexpected shut down really ****** me off lol

Did you tweak your tactic after updating or did you just continue with the same tactic etc?

 

[W4NKER]

Better transfers at last especially as I have a few top youngsters and clubs finally want to sign them on loan!
