Discussion: FM Genie Scout 24 - Exclusive
702 comments have been posted so far.
Yesterday it didn't work until late at night, and then finally it did, but today it doesn't work.
I've already tried restarting, uninstalling and reinstalling.
The latest version dates back to dec, so it's not a problem of updating.
Note that the free version works, but doesn't have the same stats as the Gold version.
Works perfectly fine for me. 208,207 players huge database loaded , all good.
Free version of app.
Epic store game.
I get the following error message at fm scout.
Access violation at adress 00BC3AE4 in module 'FMGenieScout.exe'. Read of adress 0000000C.
Is there a solution for this. I just installed the new update but a nice game to play. I hope for a solution. I was just getting back into it. I would like to hear from someone.
Kind regards Roeland
"Access violation at address * in module 'FMGenieScout.exe'. Read of address 000001B8."
When trying to update it says "An error was encountered while trying to get version info. Cannot get data from web."
The current and potential values are exactly the same for every player, like they aren't going to improve in that position at all.

I've gone back to my email when I was sent the link to the G version but they're no longer working.
I'm having to download the free version until I can get this rectified.
