We do ideally need save game files to help with investigating this. Where possible, as close to before the loan is taken out. @Josh__ you also recently posted in the thread about an unnecessary loan being taken out. Did you get the funds at all?

We haven't, but if you have a save game file from just before this happens @Josh__ it would help with our investigations. A guide on how to share your save is available here: https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/instructions-and-notes/how-to-upload-files-to-us-r98/

Save games will help with any issue, I can't remember my exact thinking at the time but as there's two potential issues based on exactly what was happening it was a case of trying to separate them out. So far it is the visual/presentation on this screen that has been the issue, rather than a complete wiping of progress towards home grown status. It is something we have under review.

Adding your save game can help with investigating too if you still have this happening. A guide on how to do so is available here: https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/instructions-and-notes/how-to-upload-files-to-us-r98/

It is good to have some additional information with which the QA team can investigate. Thanks for sharing that.

I'm not versed on the ins and outs of the relevant laws but even with a simple understanding of GDPR sharing a players specific injury history, details of treatment etc would not be okay unless the player consented. In many instances such information could bias a buying club, strengthen or weaken the negotiating position of one party and the less than pleasant reality is in some instances the selling club wouldn't want that information shared either. Given the high profile nature of football however, a lot of information does end up being public domain and that information clubs can make use of. However, its going to be very limited in usefulness to an actual in-depth analysis the likes of which clubs have. Specific details of injuries are becoming increasingly rare. Injury proneness is a researchers estimate (like all other attributes) and based on that public domain information. The recurrence likelihood of an injury is also going to be based on that to an extent. If a club keeps it very quiet that Player X is only playing every couple of weeks due to repeated strains of muscle Y we can't reflect that if we do not know it. If you choose to use tools like the in-game editor to enhance your enjoyment of playing the game that is absolutely fine. There's information that used to be shown but has changed over time to better reflect the realities of football. There's information in the game that is hidden which some players prefer to have access to. Should that be what you want in this regard that's perfectly fine.

Thanks for sharing this one, I've moved it to the Competition Specific section so that it can be reviewed by the appropriate QA team.

If someone is just activating something in the database but not in turn making it work then unfortunately its likely things will go wrong. Keep in mind the FM database is inclusive of a lot of data including football teams and even countries that no longer exist. Anyone could "reactivate" any of these by using the pre-game editor but they would either not work, or have a lot of problems.

Hey, not too sure what the query is in regards to this one. It's just reading as though you're stating these players have changed.

Are you using any custom graphics? Additionally, you've mentioned trying to remove the cache, verifying the integrity of game files may be beneficial. - From the 'Library' section, right-click on the game and select 'Properties' from the menu. - Select the 'Local Files' tab and click the 'Verify Integrity of Game Files' button. - Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes. This will always download a number of files even if you've just verified. - Once the process is completed, close the windows then launch the game.

Thanks for providing an additional save game file for this. Our initial investigations have shown there are multiple causes for this outcome, so we're working on these. Additional save files whenever this happens will help to identify all possible examples, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for taking the time to share this one with us. This one is with our QA team and they're looking into it further.

A save from after you've received one message but before it generates subsequent messages would be helpful. This allows the QA team to investigate what generates the messages then. A guide on how to share this is available here: https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/instructions-and-notes/how-to-upload-files-to-us-r98/

Do you have your own players excluded from search results? When loading up the filter/edit search you can select Exclude and check this: The player is improving his weak foot, which can result in a small adjustment across attributes which may reflect this way. What does the actual 3 month progression show for the player. For example, this player has no real arrows showing on his profile right now except a couple of downward arrows, but has improved over the 3 months: Checking these aspects would better help understand where any issues may rest.

While this information may have been accessible in the past, that in itself was the incorrect issue. You shouldn't have such a detailed breakdown on players at other clubs. You won't have their ongoing assessments which comes from backroom staff. Scouts can highlight attributes about the player, but a club would not know a players medical history in enough depth to know if certain injuries are likely to be recurring and so on. In reality there are a lot of issues with clubs disclosing details to do with a players health and well being. Obtaining such information outside of medicals and what is voluntarily disclosed isn't really too likely to be viable.

Thanks for sharing that save file, we'll take a look into this.

When you're explaining it does not track, do you have a screenshot that demonstrates what you mean? This will help better put the issue into context for the QA team.

Thanks for taking the time to share this one with us. This one is with our QA team and they're looking into it further.

It is something we still have under review on our side at present.

Thanks for sharing, we'll review this further.

Thanks for letting us know. I've marked this one so the QA team won't need to review it, if you find any other issues though please do add those.

We'll take a look into this one further, thanks for providing so much information.

I'm seeing it with Tomas Aviles on my side too, you've mentioned Marco Angulo too. Do you happen to have a more comprehensive list of all the players you've seen affected by this so far?

What starting nation/league were you using, and what starting date?
