Haven't played FM2011 in awhile, so started playing over the weekend, and have used Genie Scout plenty of times in the past. I downloaded the latest version to see if it would help, but am getting the same error message, which says:

"Date file seems to be corrupt, wanted to read 4 bytes, could only read 2 bytes

I've never had issues in the past, and this is the only game I have in my "saved games" folder? Thanks in advance for your help!

Since Genie Scout 12 was released, GS11 stopped working. It's a choice by the developer. Just grab the latest GS12 and it will work with your FM11 savegames just fine.

Mark: by the time I visit you, you'll be like ancient =P
Stam: if things go well, I'll still be the same old crazy Stam
Mark: as in crazy inventive energetic or as in crazy senile and forgetful?
Stam: wtf mate, are you planning to visit me when you'll be 70? lol
