OK, I did my magic and you now have the option to show the full awards, have it truncated after 3 or truncated after just 1.

Happy?

Edit: You know what, I just realized something. If you guys get worked up over such a tiny detail, it means you really love the game and care a lot. So, thank you.

It meams more to us that you were willing to change it to appease some of us. Run for President.

Just my 2 cents worth, but it's the same reason we cared so much when you released OOTP 1 - because you listen to your customers and pay attention to detail.

Thank you for this and everything else.

Yeah but what about <insert random option #4 here>?

You probably will miss this comment - wrong time of day, for one thing - but the situation here is so much more healthy than the one in the forum for another game that I truly love but I fear is going down the tubes.

Reason? The developer does not know how to run his franchise to make it successful. All the things that you guys are doing on social media, for example, he neglects. I mean, nothing.

Moreover, he has become reclusive and unresponsive to HIS OWN COMMUNITY, the kiss of death. Not that he is supposed to respond to every complaint and request; he will not even come to the forums any more. Word is that he wants the hosting company to take over the game while he "remains in charge."

You, on the other hand, suffer the indignities that we throw at you and you respond to at least some of them. You cannot be expected to respond to every complaint and request either, but you try. And you often succeed, as we see here.

That is one big reason why this game is thriving and the other one is headed for the trash heap.

Football Manager?

Thank you so much Markus.

No, something else, non-sports related. I will not identify it here out of respect for that community and because I don't want to make the situation any worse.

Folks, be thankful for this community and the special relationship that it has with the makers of this fine game.

Aumakua · 03-29-2018, 12:23 AM

okay so love the new option of all, 3, or 1 (I think I like 3 the best) BUT what is this black box I am getting in a few places after the patch?

by award icons, manager name, and bottom right by manager text

edit: this only happens with custom skin (which I used the downloaded steam workshop skins for), was a new skin png added with the patch that is causing this?

Silent_Thunder · 03-29-2018, 03:26 AM

I like the new feature, but a further improvement could be made. It would be best if when you mouse over the list, it shows all the years the award was won. At the moment it only shows the base icon's award year.

It seems your skin files have not been properly updated. Please do this: Go to the settings dialog (file menu), click on the Troubleshooting tab and hit the button "Force game data reinstallation". Then restart the game. This should fix the issue.

Let me know how that works out for you.

tried that, didn't work, still get black boxes.

So its only when I use the downloaded skin files from steam (which worked fine before the patch) if I revert back to the default skin files its fine.

appears to be an issue with the text box that has the numbers in it (so number of times won award, number of messages in the in box...).

I am guessing if the Steam workshop skin files are not updated to whatever was used in the patch, that should solve the issue.

Aumakua · 03-29-2018, 01:30 PM

Is anyone using custom award logos and not having this issue? if so where did you get your skin files from?
appears there is a missing .png in mine that should be the red box/circle with the text inside of whatever number should be there, this must have been added in the patch as it wasn't a problem before. guessing I could create that png myself if I knew what to call it.

endgame · 03-29-2018, 01:52 PM

I, too, believe the files are the problem, or the lack of one in the content.

Same issue for me but with pc version. Haven't tried suggested fix yet.
