Your game data is not found.
Any updates on this issue?
i did not play the game for a very long time
Please someone post a link so i can download it
This is a solution for the public version and only for the error "Data not found"
I hope some of you can fix it
Does any body know how to fix this? I don't recall a recent up to to FM or GS which has maybe triggered it to not work
For example I never use to have an issue when having the player search results screen up. Simply hit the 2nd icon in front the top left with the 1 green arrow and it would load the players from that search in genie scout. However with the latest update more often than not the error check you have a list loaded stuff will appear. My get around seems to be when wanting a search field to show up I quickly have to tab back into game and change to a shortlist (anyone doesnt matter) and let that load in genie scout. Then any normal functions work beyond that.
Also my G edition seems to be really slow. Like for anyone that has used the free genie scout and the G edition they will have noticed the G edition is massively quicker. However since the last update double clicking a player or simply searching takes forever. Not sure if this is something those in power are aware of.
"range check error on clubs"
And when I go to check for an update I get the "An error was encountered while trying to get version info"
I just redownloaded it and it's still giving the error, tried different saves
I'll try again tomorrow when I've launched the game again, in case it's somehow giving me a false flag
