I'm play FHM on my Windows 7 laptop--last night I updated my graphics drivers for that system. Facegen still isn't working. Let me know if this game doesn't support Window 7. I guess I can try it on my Windows 10 laptop.

FHM 3 supports Windows 7. The Facegen code has problems with your laptop's graphic prozessor (GPU). We're working on it!

My facegen folder didn't load when I update to the new build 53, in build 50 it did load but it was still grey out.

I have update everything on my laptop that I can, but still can't get facegen to work, now with the folder not loading & can't check the boxes to activate the .fg

Sorry, what do you mean with "folder did not load"?
EDIT: could you please post a debug trace again? Thanks.

When u start your save u will see the yellow bar & what files are loading above it, in build 50 Facegen was the last file to load, but now I get "finish loading" and the game starts, in the setting screen on the main page facegen is checked, but in the "setup/option" then to "facegen setting" the 2 boxes that need to be checked u can't check them.
Like I said I have updated everything I can even my Chipset is updated, Graphic card is updated, my OpenGL is version 3.1

Here is the Trace Report I posted

I´m having problem with the face gen to since the update.
I have unistalled the game and installed it again.

I have added leauge and team logos.
At first everything worked fine. The generated faces loaded OK.
But now i sometimes get a team jersey or sometimes i get a black silouette of a player.

I turn my facegen on in the main game, and when I go into the game setup it won't allow me to check the box to allow facegen to be used - it says it is disabled. Help?

Have you ticked the facegen box in all three places shown in this post?

My problem was fixed by reading the post lukasberger linked to.

I had only ticked in facegen in one place and not all places =)

It says Facegen is disabled because it was unable to load Facegen. Can you please post the debug trace? Thank you!

I have updated my openGL drivers and they are at version 3.1. But it is still saying they are below 1.4 and facegen will not load.

Problem is that FHM3 does not work with your graphics processor (GPU). You can see it at this line in your debug trace:
Quote:
GLWidget2 - GL_VERSION = - Version = 0.0.0
We found that this problem exists for a certain GPU: Intel HD 3000. Intel does not update the driver software anymore but it seems to be buggy which makes them incompatible with the new version of Qt (that's the platform layer which we're using for FHM):
Quote:
QT 5 has huge compatibility issue with opengl on some hardware configurations Combination of Intel HD3000 driver and Nvidia/ATI card won't work on Windows 10. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-42240
Intel drops support for this card but their drivers has bug that leads to crash.
(See qt - Deploying Qt5 on Windows without Hardware Acceleration - Stack Overflow)

On some laptops there are two graphic processors (GPU). One for gaming and one integrated GPU for desktop apps to save energy. The HD 3000 GPU is such a power saving integrated GPU. If the laptop has a 3D GPU the user should try to activate it. This will help him around the problems with our Facegen. More info here:

Forum user Hoiles:
Quote:
At first, I wasn't able to use facegen at all on my 4-year old multimedia laptop with all 3 options checked off. The facegens did show up after changing the FHM3 game settings from integrated to dedicated graphics. This probably would only be available for multimedia/gaming laptops, more basic laptops might not have this. I did this by opening the NVidia Control Panel, going to Manage 3D settings, browsing to and adding FHM3.exe to the list of programs, and changing from Integrated Graphics to the NVidia processor. If you're on a laptop, you might need to do something similar and change the 3D settings for FHM3 on your video card (be it NVidia, Radeon, or whatever). I didn't need to do this for OOTP or FHM2, though.

We also added a command line parameter. Try to start FHM3 with the command line parameter UseDesktopOpenGL. To do that on Windows, open the properties dialog for an FHM3 shortcut and add parameters to the “target” line like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Out of the Park Developments\Franchise Hockey Manager 3\fhm3.exe" tracemode usedesktopopengl

We found that this problem exists for a certain GPU: Intel HD 3000. Intel does not update the driver software anymore but it seems to be buggy which makes them incompatible with the new version of Qt (that's the platform layer which we're using for FHM):

(See qt - Deploying Qt5 on Windows without Hardware Acceleration - Stack Overflow)

On some laptops there are two graphic processors (GPU). One for gaming and one integrated GPU for desktop apps to save energy. The HD 3000 GPU is such a power saving integrated GPU. If the laptop has a 3D GPU the user should try to activate it. This will help him around the problems with our Facegen. More info here:

Thanks for this Andreas - I do not have a higher end gaming laptop - so I think switching video cards might be out. Can I just change the command line parameter? I am a computer novice - so would you be kind enough to run me through what I would do to achieve this like you were speaking to somebody with no clue Thanks

Sure no problem. Locate the shortcut on which you click to start FHM3. Right-click on it to opent the context-menu. At the bottom, there should be "Properties". Click on it. The dialog which will pop-up should contain a text box "Target" which contains the command to start FHM3. It will end on fhm3.exe. Go to the end of that line and add
tracemode usedesktopopengl
It should look like this:
(your path)/fhm3.exe tracemode usedesktopopengl
Hope that helps.
