The current version is beta 2 build 83.

IMPORTANT: Tested and not working if you have the option "Compress Save Games" enabled in the Game Preferences. So, disable that, save your game again and Genie should work.

NOTE: From what we understand, if you start a new game with Patch 8.0.1 and any DB, Genie Scout 2008 will work. However, it shouldn't work if you use 8.0.0 or 8.0.1 with a game started in 8.0.0.

Wonkydonk : yes i saved game after unticking compress save games

All I did was to disable the compression option, re-save my game, which is new 8.0.1, and then load save game in Genie. I'm on XP if this means anything.

It is for sure that Genie is not bug-free yet, as this version is not even official yet.
I guess more beta testers for Eugene :wink

Runci : My version is: 8.0.1 114310 I'm re-save my game with unticking. Whats the problem?

your game was started with 8.0.0 and then upgraded to 8.0.1 or is it a new game loaded with 8.0.1?

By the way, I have version 8.0.1.114310
Which is the latest official 8.0.1 patch. Make sure you have this one and not one of the beta patch 1 or beta patch 2

If I download this patch: http://www.fmscout.com/page.php?al=fm_2008_801_patch
and I re-save my game then the genie scout is good?

hi,

I do not know what happen but when I try to load my game using genie, it says that my game is not a valid FM file. I have disabled the "compress saved game" but it seems that my saved game can not be loaded either.

I am using the patch 8.0.1

Any recommendations about my problem??hope you can get me through this problem.

thanks
