Bug Reports
During closed beta stage for supporters, Eugene fixed most bugs that came to surface. As a result, the public edition should be reasonably stable from its very first version.

Known issue: Sale value for players is not accurate and sadly we have no way of making it work as it used to be before GS13.

I think we must wait for fix.
@mattias333, on the Genie Scout icon on the desktop just right-click it and use the option "Run as Administrator" it should work.
@ricardofly, download the version that was uploaded today and run it as admin it should work.
(Playing with GamePass version, that could be the issue)

I already tried opening with admin rights and already uninstalled and installed genie scout again, but error persists.
Using FM22 from the XBOX Game Pass.
Is anyone having this same issue?..
which are the 8 extra features in paid version

My team's probability of development ranged between 20%-100% and now almost all the players PoD is under 10%, is this a bug?
Seems to have happened to all players in the game, everyone's PoD is now tiny, really odd.
What to do?
Top tip Everytime Si release an update turn your internet connection or wifi off on laptop/pc. If you can’t go without genie for a few days this enables you to keep using it an then update when genie is updated.
