Donate to get the "g" version
Genie Scout 12 comes in two versions. One with ads and one with no ads (we will refer to it as the "g" version). In order to get the "no ads" one you'll have to donate to Eugene first, using the donation form on Genie homepage.DELIVERY OF THE 'G' VERSION :
Eugene has automatized the process of distribution for the "g" version, so people will only have to wait up to 1 hour before they will get a download link and key this year. But only if they have sent correct contact email, correct Unique ID along with the donation. Make sure you check your Spam folder too.
If you don't send correct info, you'll most likely have to wait up to 2 days.
Apart from no ads, the "g" version has 4 extra features:
- Probability of Development :
A statistically based model that will show the probability of reaching theoretical maximum of players ability - Progress Rate :
Shows the predicted speed of player's development, depending on his ambition, determination, professionalism etc - Support for Graphics :
If you have custom facepacks and/or kitpacks added to your FM, it should show on player and team profiles on GS - Top Players Lists :
Automatically generated lists for best players, most promising and top bargains in the world, by position [New in GS12]






Please note that during the first run of "g" version it may take a few minutes to create the graphic packs cache. Next time it will be loaded much faster.
IMPORTANT :
FM Scout (the site) is not involved in the donations towards Eugene, neither has any responsibility delivering the ad-free version to you after donation. This is a process handled solely by Eugene himself.
Bug Reports:
This is a beta release, so it's natural that there will be some bugs we couldn't find while beta testing the scout ourselves.Please find the corresponding version specific topic on our Genie Scout forum and post there!
Read this before submitting any bugs!
Any comment including bug report posted on this page will be removed on sight!
EXPORTING DATA :
Please understand it is forbidden by the EULA from SI and SEGA to export all the data from the results. You should be able to export only basic information such as player name, club, age, etc... the rest information belong to SI and SEGA.

I have made the donation yesterday.
I got an email telling me that I will get an additional letter with a key-file attached to it after that.
But I still haven't received the key file yet, could you help me to check it out?
Thanks.
@Woo-Cash: Exporting data is not a priority of GS development because it's a sensitive subject and SEGA react very defensively about it. It's a fact you can't export exclusive game data for players, and it appears the staff export is not perfectly working. Not sure if this is going to be fixed at all, but I can assure you it's the same for the 'g' version.
@smokey974: I honestly don't know. GS has no native Mac support and I personally don't own a Mac either, so I'm unable to help - sorry mate.
does Genie Scout build 206 work with the new patch (12.2.1)?
Thanks

ok...tanks...the probleam was i had an older version...and never updated.
Now that i have the latest version of GS it works perfect.
Regards
I downloaded the 206 version, I am using a mac so I installed it with dane0 way. Nevertheless when I launch the application it says that there is a new version and it is still 205 version. Therefore it still gives me the "Unknown database version : 1694". Any help?
By the way, thank you for your work:
@iatwb @catgeorge: It's already compatible with the 12.2 patch. I've just tested a new 12.2 savegame loading 308K players and latest GS12 build 206 works fine.
@ClubBruggeForEver: What is that supposed to mean?
@gavros84: That's a feature of the 'g' version only. Read carefully the details above (on this page).
@jacklee: Thanks for reporting your issues and I'm glad you can now enjoy using GS.
@slackie: I don't understand. Can you show us a screenshot?
@reeves: Have you received your 'g' version yet?
@Kaneykins: Yes, it's legit.
Thank you Eugene and Stam was fixing my report bug on last months.
Edit: Nvm it works now =)
@Gazonius: The 'g' version works fine. If you have a problem with it, you should report it in the forums; but you didn't even mention what kind of issue you're experiencing.
Also the public version has 2 ads, 1 on the main interface and another 1 on player profile popup window... that's not exactly splattered all over.
@JmG: That's a first, never heard of this one before. Try the new beta 5 and let me know if you have better luck with it. If not, please report your issue in the forums, and remember to mention your OS.
@falafla: Beta 5 of the 'g' version was released last night. There were a couple of issues fixed, so give it a try and hopefully it works as intended for you.
@Lenzar: Is this some kind of joke or are you trying to make a connection with FMRTE recently going premium-only? The main feature of the 'g' version is the absence of ads, while the rest few features are quite minor and their purpose is only to save time. The public version is fully functional by all means.
@MLP: I recommend that you read our Genie Scout instructional guide. A quick hint is that best potential rating is a more valid filter to find better players.
@dan-wafc: No problem.
