We pride ourselves on exclusively releasing this legendary tool since 2009. As always we try our best to deliver Genie Scout to the world every year because your support to this project is outstanding.
Our aim is to update Genie Scout "g" edition to be usable for the FM26 Beta. Then fix any bugs reported. And ultimately try to update all relevant data to reflect the changes in FM26 (e.g. new player roles).

While I understand the frustration, you also need to understand that we've worked like 18 hours each day on this to get where we are right now. Twisting words or facts doesn't help anyone.
Reminder: GS always has a public edition that is free for all. Public GS26 will arrive towards the end of November as stated on this very article. The g edition is for people who wish to support the development and get early access alongside some extra features.
Create a platform for supporters and let them easily access the database. Why does everything have to be so difficult? If I’m supporting you, please make access simpler and more user-friendly.
I don't have an exact time for the next update, but the plan is to work on it tonight once home.
Sorry for the spam but a quick tip that could be useful for anybody:
If you haven't updated the game on Steam yet (I knew this was gonna happen so I put the updates on manual and I didn't launch the game yet), you can set Steam to offline mode and relaunch it.
In this way, you will be allowed to launch the game without applying the new patch and therefore you'll still be able to use GS26g normally, while waiting for the new version to be released.
Hope this helps someone, most likely you'll have already updated but who knows
It's a bugfix update so I don't think much has changed and it's probably just a matter of updating the number of the version the app checks for while loading in, but still a manual update is needed.
Downloaded beta version3, but always getting the message "Your game data is not found", eventhough the game is loaded and advancing
Your game data is not found.
please make sure your game is loaded completely in football manager, and try again.
Please help!
I don't think they would have changed much
