BACK UP GAME FILES
We strongly suggest having auto-save enabled weekly or fortnightly, with ‘New File for Each Auto Save’ so you always have a recent backup of your save. If you find that you have a large number of backup saves, you can manually delete them from the file location shown below.
You can change your auto-save settings via the in-game preferences at any point. Bear in mind that auto-save will save at the time period set by the user from the last time you saved. If you manually save at any point, the auto-save clock restarts.
All your Football Manager game files can be found in the following location by default:
C:\Users\[Your Username]\Documents\Sports Interactive\[Football Manager title]\games
Users\[Your Username]\Library\Application Support\Sports Interactive\[Football Manager title]\games
By default, this folder is hidden, so to access it, you need to do the following:
- Open Finder
- Click ‘Go’ from the menu bar
- Press and hold the ‘Option’ (Alt) key
- This will bring up the ‘Library’; click to enter
- Go to ‘Application Support’ > ‘Sports Interactive’ > ‘[Football Manager title]’
INSTALL UPDATES
Most updates of this nature should download automatically, but if yours doesn’t, simply quit and relaunch Steam or the Epic Games Store to prompt it to do so. If you’re playing via the Windows Store or Game Pass, you may need to manually search for the update.
