Game Does NOT work on windowed mode at all
Im having a very annoying issue with this game, i am able to play it normally on full screen, but when i try to change it to windowed the game stops, i mean, it goes to window mode but its like a white canvas, nothing happen it just stays there all white out, then a i have to delete preferences and cache folders, check files integrity and the game run again on full screen, but as soon as i try to go windowed or even windowed bordeless full screen i get white screen of death, really annoying issue, has anyone encountered this bug ? is there a solution ?

Im running it on Windows 10 64bit, ty all.

I'd reccomend uninstalling the game, remove all mods or just leave your PC for a while to see if it does anything.

Same issue here. Do you have a nvidea card by any chance? As I am wondering if it got something to do with that. I also have Win10 647bit. It used to work windowed but i have also the blank screen issue now. And if i remember correct it started after an Nvidea update.
Uninstalling, removing modes and all that does not help.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling your graphics card drivers as shown here - https://community.sigames.com/faq/football-manager-2017/84_how-to/89_pc/how-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-my-graphics-card-drivers-pc-r218/

Let us know how you get on.

So yeah, i uninstalled the drivers, installed again, checked integrity, and all that, the game did run normally on full screen but again when i click windowed it goes to windowed but all white, im running latest nvidia drivers, cannot confirm if it was working on previous drivers because i bought the game yesterday so the new driver was already out and installed, any other ideas?
Did you recently install w10 creators update? if possible try removing or rolling that back and see if it works. i've heard it can cause some issues with certain games.

Yeah i did not installed that, i mean it did but i rolled back a while ago.

The game itself is working even on windowed mode, because the mouse cursor when u scroll through the white screen changes to the little hand of ingame cursor, but the screen is always white its like a whited out filtrer in front if that makes any sense.

What resolution are you running in? Are you running any programs in the background at all? Or any game recording type software?
Ryu May 26, 2017 @ 10:37am 
1920x1080 not running any programs on background nor recording software

Try doing Alt enter to go into windows mode, works well for me.

nbrocky, any news about this?
Neil Brock  [developer] Jun 20, 2017 @ 2:23am 
Have any of you recently installed the Windows 10 Creators update per chance? Just trying to narrow down what may have potentially caused this.

Let me know either way. Thanks.

did not install.
still game does not work on windowed
Neil Brock  [developer] Jun 23, 2017 @ 4:11am 
We believe this could be related to a recent Windows Update just prior to the Creators update and are trying to reproduce it internally. Once we do we'll be able to advise further.

To clarify, does the issue also occur in Maximised Borderless Windowed mode?
