StevenMcD Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Heya! I know that there is a bug on the FM2020 touch for ipadOS where cross-sync isn't available. I bought the full FM2020 on steam yesterday before knowing this. Until cross-sync is available is there another way to play my save on the full FM2020 version? Can I just copy the save file off of the ipad and paste it into FM2020 in steam and back to the ipad again later? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff EdL Posted November 29, 2019 SI Staff Share Posted November 29, 2019 Yes you can, I don't have a full guide for you but in iTunes it is possibly copy the save games folder off the tablet and then replace it again later. I assume you need to have a Mac to do it but maybe it is possible with the Windows version of iTunes, but I've never tried that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenMcD Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 @EdL I had no problems copying the FMT 2020 save file off of the ipad. The file extension of the FMT save game is .fmv and the save games for FM are .fm files though. I tried the simple method of renaming the file to .fm BUT when I go to load the game, it shows me the meta data about the save game but when I actually try load the game it fails with a generic "the game failed to load" error. More info would be appreciated. (working with ipadOS for FMT and macOS Mojave for FM2020) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliebigpot Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Sorry, does this mean I could also take a save from FMT for Mac and manually put it in on my iPad with FMT and continue the game? (basically a manual cross save?) If yes, is there a guide on how to do it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff EdL Posted November 30, 2019 SI Staff Share Posted November 30, 2019 You have to install Football Manager Touch (included with full FM) to play games from IPad. Which is the same if you were using cross-sync Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is the same if you were using cross-sync Hi, thx for getting back so quickly, but I'm not sure I get it. I have FMT on my macbook, what do I need to do to play a save on my iPad: - buy a copy/install FMT also on my ipad. - copy the save file manually from my mac to the ipad? If yes, where do I find the save file on the mac and where do I copy it to on the ipad? Anything else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenMcD Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) I must still be missing something, I have done the following: Installed both FM2020 and FM2020 Touch on my Macbook Copied the save from my ipad to my Macbook and loaded up the save game in FM2020 Touch on my macbook. Played a few matches and saved my game Save the game to the Cloud Open Full FM2020, go to "Load game" and choose cloud but there is nothing there. How do I load up my save in full FM2020? Did I misunderstand something? Is this even possible @EdL? Edited December 4, 2019 by StevenMcD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xray1324 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 It has never been possible iirc to use a FMT save on full fat FM, nor visa versa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
