Donate to Eugene to get the "g" edition
As usual, Genie Scout 15 comes in two editions: 
Donate to Eugene to get the "g" edition
The public edition comes with 2 banner ads and an offer screen during installation. The "g" edition has no ads nor offers during installation. In order to get the "g" edition, you need to donate to Eugene. Refer to Genie Scout 15g FAQ if you have further questions.
Apart from no ads, the "g" edition has 5 extra features:
- Search by role/duty: New tab in advanced search popup that allows searching by role and duty - plus sortable columns of each of them in search results
- 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
Please note that during the first run of "g" edition it may take a few minutes to create the graphic packs cache. Next time it will be loaded much faster.
DELIVERY OF THE 'G' EDITION: Eugene has automatized the process of distribution for the "g" edition, so you will have to wait just a few minutes before you receive a download link and a key file. But only if they have sent correct contact email, correct Unique ID alongside your donation.
Make sure you check your Spam folder too.
It might take up to 24 hours though. In case of problem with your donation, please contact Eugene using the email address you'll see in the message after donation.
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.

Discussion: FM Genie Scout 15 - Exclusive
196 comments have been posted so far.
can you please update?
I made a donation to have the G version of genie scout but still I get nothing , why?
Just a thumbs up and love from a fan thats have had an even better gaming experience thanks to you guys.
What do I think about these offers shown during public edition setup?
I don't like them, they're annoying and most of them appear to be crapware.
So why did I allow it?
Because I wanted to support Eugene financially and keep him motivated to keep producing this brilliant tool. Having the option to skip them seemed pretty fair to me. But some people don't read and then they come here raging about the shit they've gotten from an offer they blindly accepted to install.
What about the donations towards the 'g' edition? Do I get a share?
No. All goes to the GS author because I believe that's the right thing to do as it's his program.
So what the heck is my gain?
Well, make the release of Genie Scout public edition worthwhile for Eugene.
BUT I keep getting the stick and this is affecting the site's reputation as well. So I had a word with Eugene about it and I'm pleased to announce that the next (and probably final) version of public edition will come with NO OFFERS. That will be the end of this nightmare for you and for myself.
@ljs1992: I believe it should be country related. For some countries there is no offer to show I guess.
@zJordan: No, I won't delete your comment, I never do that. You can still go back and find all the angry comments alongside my always polite replies.
"I tend to avoid reading crap that I have done a thousand times before"
So you didn't skip the offer. The situation with offers on GS has been the same since release (and in fact since GS12), so I can't understand why act as if it's happening now for the first time. I mean if you've installed GS before (over the past 3 years), you would have gotten a screen with an offer at the beginning of installation with Skip / Cancel / Next.
@vigorios: We talked about this in private.
I'm pretty surprised actually. Not sure if this is because I chose a custom installation but.. like I said, nothing.
Cheers
I'm fairly certain you will delete this - but guys DO NOT agree to install additional software, it's complete shit. Avast, etc detect this as malware because that's exactly what it has become.
I wonder how much he gets paid to include it? Perhaps it's per time it tricks you into installing it or a one time standing fee. Either way it's just criminal.
I'm sorry I continue to rant on but it's true, we don't want that crap on our computer.
Some users reported that Avast will delete the .exe file of this new version. You can check the virus report here (apparently Avast seems OK with it there). Disable it for a couple of minutes until setup is finished, and make sure to skip the offer during installation if you don't want it.
I have repeatedly explained that the public edition will show 1 offer at the beginning of setup process which YOU CAN SKIP with the 'Skip' button. These offers are either free trial programs or browser addons (that most people won't like). It's still a mystery to me how you can complain for this now when everything works exactly the same way since initial release (30 November).
At any case, I'll speak with Eugene about the possibility of removing these offers with the next version (there should be a 'final' one, as this is still in beta).
Why ?
The site itself has NO profit from the donations towards Eugene, so blaming me or fmscout.com for this delay is pointless.
@cloud97: FMSCOUT is not Genie Scout. This tool is one of our exclusive releases and just one part of what this fansite has to offer. Yes, the GS author is trying to make money from his work with this tool one way or another. Maybe you would understand if you were living in Ukraine like him. Personally, I'm fine with it as long as there's a free-for-all version and there's a choice to skip any annoying offer at the beginning of installation. The alternative would be either no public version or no GS at all. If someone makes a free tool like GS, we will support it too.
@bornnslippy @Kaervek: Are you 100% sure you declined/skipped the offer at the beginning of installation? You need to press the button, not check-boxes.
@Lucas Schifini: A working 15.3.1 version is already available. If you haven't received an email from Eugene about it, go to Help and Support > Check for New Version to find the download link.
@itchyfishstick: I'd wait for public version to arrive if I were you; it will arrive this week.
@Kieran: I think there's a bug with shortlists, Eugene told me he's working on a fix.
@Braun: Shame on me for allowing Eugene to delay the release of the new public version? Right, okay.
@nimo11: If you donated for Genie Scout 15g, you should already have a working version for 15.3.1. If you changed or formatted your computer, your unique id will be different which means your key file will no longer work. Please email Eugene including your new unique id and he will provide a new key file.
@JAXX: No, you won't have to donate for every new version. Donation is valid for an entire FM season (e.g. all FM15 versions).
@GingaMilla: We've sorted this in private.
@wickedptgenie: If you're displeased with the way Eugene is making Genie Scout available, feel free to email him at genie AT fmscout.com
The whole thing stinks of money grabbing and if he actually appreciated this community he would realize that a large chunk of the FM community is built by people without money like students, unemployed or whatever. I hope someone makes an alternative to FM scout and puts you out of business.
BEWARE
Same happened to me as Kaervek posted earlier It installs Wajam Web Enhancer, nod32 shows as a virus
Beware this bollocks
