You The Mane! Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I am having an ongoing issue with my assistant manager not being fully recognised in my saved game. The assistant manager works, it is just that the suitability for position green circle in team selection, and throughout the game, is no longer visible. Also, I don't get get any info on reserve player ability and potential. After verifying and clearing the cache the feature came back briefly, but this no longer works as a solution. My question is: if I reinstall the game via the 'Delete local game content..' option on Steam, will all my FMRTE edits still be recognised in my saved game?

culturedleftfoot Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 unsure on that to be honest you could back up that FMRTE file that is in the games file but wait until someone can give you a definite answer, also if you do that now you get the updated game so wont be able to use FMRTE until patched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You The Mane! Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Thanks for the advice. I'll backup the 'FMRTE-Backups' folder for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfox Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 In my experience, it does not. I have plenty of occasions used the delete game content button and reloaded my save back into FM. I have never noticed anything out of the ordinary. I guess that is just me as I like to keep my system clean, organised and monitored.

Just so I'm clear, when you reinstalled FM and loaded your saved game your FMRTE edits were still intact, or they weren't? I'm with you on the clean and organised system.

greyfox Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Yep, they were intact as far as I know. Your edits are directly integrated into your save, not in a separate file. So backing up the files mentioned above, I am not so sure about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You The Mane! Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 That is good enough for me. Don't worry, I won't blame either of you if I make a mess of it Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lkz Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Unless FMRTE starts writing directly into the Steam game folder, there is no reason this could affect it. Besides removing 'local game content', there might also be some issues in the other folders FM writes to. For example, the kind of preference and cache files that would be implicated in a problem like the one you describe live in %localappdata%\Sports Interactive\ The save games and other files you do not want to delete (but would want to backup / copy to a new PC) are in: %userprofile%\Documents\Sports Interactive\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
