Football Manager 2020 Patch 20.4.2 - Hotfix Update

Sports Interactive have every reason to be happy with the launch of FM20 on the Epic Games store because approximately 500,000 users got the game there during this free week (expires on September 24th).

However, their 20.4.2 compatibility update on Steam caused a lot of problems. This hotfix update is their attempt to address these problems and it has been released on both Steam and Epic. No idea why they also named it 20.4.2 - that's a really confusing choice.

Unfortunately, certain issues remain. I've put together a list of 20.4.2 known issues and their workarounds.

Date Released: September 18th, 2020

To update you will need to close down Football Manager 2020 (or Football Manager Touch 2020) and re-launch. If this does not work for you or you feel it has not updated you will need to restart Steam.
Even if that doesn't do the trick, then verify the game cache will.

Hotfix 20.4.2 List of Changes

• Addressed issues related to save games seemingly not appearing (if 'load last game' is blank they can be found via the Load Game option on the main menu)

• Fixed issue related to In-Game Editor not appearing for some Mac users on Steam and some PC users on Epic
