340 comments have been posted so far.
P.S. The 'g' edition update arrived a bit sooner. The initial issue with the download link (anti-leech exceptions) was fixed yesterday.
Is there any way to scout regens the same day they appear? I put them in a shortlist, I even save and load the game again. I then load the game in genie scout, but when i want to import the shortlist in GS, I get an "no players available for loading" error.
@gnarfman: Steam version?
@Woo-Cash: Please send your Polish translation to Eugene's email.
@Gabratta: Eugene is aware of the date issue which doesn't happen often for him, but he couldn't find a different date that would be 100% accurate.
@Testandoolixo: The download link works fine. Perhaps some third party app (antivirus? firewall?) is blocking the file for you.
I want to report some other bug. I have my own view, quite big, I use it to export to CSV. But every time I start the app the columns are rearranged, so I have to reload the view. It's a little bit annoying.
And the third thing. I have updated the Polish translation for myself. Now I have to replace the file after every update. Can I send somewhere that translation so it becomes a part of the app?
