    @KaiHavertzEnthusiast
    it's skipping team talk by design, you can change the config
    - set AutoSetupOnSceneLoad to false and use the ManualTriggerKey to skip whenever you are ready (e.g after team talk)

    its skipping team talks for me for some reason
  • Ayt7s's avatar
    The game doesn't seem to open when I have extracted the files to \Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26\

    Am I doing something wrong? A black box opens with writing and thats as far as it gets
