This year is still good but some issues are still here.
One is the issue of the shortlist. Do you think this is something you could fix?
The second is the price sale. I would like to see the value of Asking price there. Which is not. I have compared ingame. Also being able to search for that value would be nice.
I love the features to check most promising, best player but would be good if we could check the player there or have this in a list to check them all. It's rather annoying that you have to close that window and look up for the name manually
Thank you again for your hard work.
first time encountering this in all these years i use fmscout
Hey mate, I have tested and there is an issue with uplodading shortlists to the game. Do you want me to drop Eugene a line?
@vashkevich: The shortlists situation is a known issue sadly. Eugene has been unable to figure out the encryption so far.
@AdviZzzor: That doesn't make sense. What was different during your 10th attempt that worked? Make sure to extract the setup file out of the zip before running it.
@Fatalit: There's no chance for that to happen I'm afraid.
@cliffy @Lupo @mattw: Glad to know you're enjoying GS22!
