Football, Tactics & Glory News

We continue a series of daily updates with bug fixes and small improvements:

• We have improved all versions of the game so that they work better with modifications that are backwards compatible.
  
• The interface for selecting backward compatibility of modifications in Manager's Journey has been improved.
  
• Fixed a crash when creating a new modification.
  

Added a savepoint to the job offer selection screen at the start of a new season. Now at this point, you can exit the game.

• Finished translation of Manager's Journey into Turkish.
  
• Fixed rare crashes of the game in special cases.
  

Hi everyone!

The expansion Manager's Journey is already released.

But it lacks Korean translation. If you are Korean, if you know English and love football, and if you want to help with translation, write to me, please, on kos @ creoteam.com (delete spaces)

Those who translate the DLC will get:
- your name written in the game's credits
- a free DLC key (also, can provide the key for the original game and previous DLC if you need it).

Thanks!
Andriy

Previously, modifications that were made or updated in Manager's Journey were not supported in previous versions of the game.

We've begun work to ensure that players who create mods in MJ can make them available to all other players, regardless of version.

Now in the modification settings, there is a button that changes the backward compatibility of the mod. If "Maximum" backward compatibility is enabled, the mod will be available for all versions of the game. If "Manager's Journey" backward compatibility is enabled, the mod will only be available in the latest DLC.

If you used new content from Manager's Journey in the modification and then selected Maximum compatibility, this content will automatically be replaced with random ones.

We'll be keeping an eye on your forum posts and will continue to polish the backward compatibility feature so that as many players as possible can enjoy your mods.

So, for everyone who published the mods from MJ, you can open your mod settings and change the backward compatibility.

• Improved the balance of the Loyal leadership (harder than friendly and easier than adequate). Now fines and contract renewal costs have been reduced by approximately 2 times. If management is moderately dissatisfied (yellow zone), there will be no need to waste reputation to persuade a contract renewal.
  
• Corrections of translation errors.
  
• Fixed a crash if you start a campaign with only one country.
  
• Some other rare crashes have been fixed.
  

In the past few days, you may have noticed that the game has been updated. We fixed bugs and crashes that appeared in some cases. As most of the players were not affected by these problems, we did not write about them.

In the last update, we fixed some issues that could affect many players:

• If you support an injured football when a gamepad is connected to the computer, the confirmation window did not close. (As a reminder, in the game properties in the Steam library, you can turn off the gamepad interface if you are not using it in the game).
  
• The name of the cup in the sponsor's payments was displayed incorrectly in some places.
  
• If you look at information about a club from another country, important tournaments won by this club were not displayed.
  
• If the start year was '1' and job offer has been selected, the game crashed.
  
• When creating a hot seat tournament, not all modifications were selectable.
  
• Before the start of the new season, you could go to the tables and from there try to buy a footballer. This caused the game to crash.
  
• Fixed various localization errors in different languages.
  
• Fixed rare crashes in special cases.
  

I also remind you that if the simulation takes a long time, you can start a new campaign and remove those countries that you are not interested in in the country settings. But we are also working to speed up the simulation.

Enjoy the game everyone!

Now, Football, Tactics & Glory allows you to create even more diverse emergent stories!

Meet Manager's Journey - a new huge paid expansion: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1650120

It was named Manager's Journey to reflect one of the main new set of mechanics: the possibility to move to other clubs and experience a journey of a manager who starts low and rises to the heights of world football. Together with other new mechanics, it creates significantly more personal and unique stories making the game even more interesting and deep.

There, you can find more details about what is new: https://steamcommunity.com/games/375530/announcements/detail/3059627184378542878


[h3]Can I continue the campaign started in the original game?[/h3]
No, you will have to start a new campaign. But the quality of the new gaming experience is worth it.

[h3]Will my old campaigns be deleted?[/h3]
No, they will be kept. You can disable the expansion at any time and continue the old campaigns in the original game. Here's how to do it:
- Right-click on the game in Steam Library
- Click on Properties
- Disable the checkbox
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2652916872


[h3]Will the expansion be released on consoles?[/h3]
It depends on our console publisher. At the moment, they have shown no interest in porting the expansion. But hopefully, this may change in the future. In any case, you can write to them directly and tell them that you would like to see the expansion on the console of your choice. Here is their website: https://www.toplitz-productions.com

Or you can write in their Discord: https://discord.gg/f52yESKbcK

[h3]In the reviews, I read that the game is slow. Is that true?[/h3]
As with any serious football management game, the more countries are simulated, the longer you have to wait between match days. Previously, in FTG, we fully simulated only one country. And now in Europe alone, 35 countries are fully simulated. Premier leagues on other continents are also simulated. We've greatly optimized the simulation process, but there are quite a lot of different processes going on in the game world that need to be calculated.

Therefore, before starting the campaign, you can disable countries that are not very interesting to you. You can either delete them altogether or leave them in the game, but do not expect the job offers to come from there. In the second case, only the Premier League will be simulated in these countries. You can also turn off the simulation of countries on other continents. As a result, the speed of the game can be quite high if you find the optimal number of simulated countries for yourself. I think that if you leave 10-15 countries, the game will simulate pretty quickly on most computers.

We, in turn, will look for ways to speed up the simulation process. Follow our news.

[h3]What are you going to do next?[/h3]
First of all, we will read forums, communicate with players, collect messages on how the game works, and fix possible bugs. We are also planning to look for a possibility to speed up the process of simulating the world.

In the longer term, we will look at the sales of the game and decide what to do. First of all, we would like to add national teams, World Cup, National Championships for all continents, etc. But so far we do not want to promise anything.

[h3]I have a crash / bug. Where can I find help?[/h3]
Read this post and follow the instructions: https://steamcommunity.com/app/375530/discussions/0/523897023726681633/
I read the forum and answer the comments almost every day. So don't worry, you will get help. We care about our game and our players.

[h3]Where can I discuss the game with other players?[/h3]
Forum - the main hub for the discussions.
Discord - even better place to discuss the game. Personal stories, university, positive community. Come join us!


We worked a lot to create a unique and deep experience. But at the same time, we couldn't get as far without your commentaries, support, feedback etc. Thanks to everyone who comments on the game, record videos, leaves feedback, help to novice players, reviews the game! ːjerseyː

Separately, we want to thank those players who helped us translate the expansion into other languages. Many of them not only translated the texts of the expansion but also read out all the old texts, corrected many errors and typos. Thanks to them, you can play in your native language. ːnationalcupː

Also, we are very grateful to the players who tested the beta. Besides the fact that it helped us a lot in finding bugs, we also received valuable feedback, which allowed us to make the game better. Thanks guys! ːcannonshotː


If you like the update, we will be happy to read about it at any of our social networks.

If you haven't written the Steam review yet, write it, please, when you play enough. It's very important for us because the more reviews we have, the better Steam shows it to other players.
