I think I'm having the same issue... I wonder if maybe it's affecting people who ported games from fm23? I have the same scouting setup in fm24 and just realized that my scouts who previously were assigned to go between 2+ nations were never leaving the first nation listed in their recruitment focus... and like others on this thread, my focuses have basically stopped returning players altogether. I've uploaded my save as "dotdot_todd scouting not working.fm"
