Beta period over, new patch soon.
AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
So I followed the instructions to the letter. Unticked absolutely everything except for changing the resolution to 1280x800. There is no "1" for game speed so just set to default. Opened the game and getting the exact same issues with the backgrounds overlapping each other. I also noticed that the bottom of the game screen was cut off so I wouldn't be able to click on the button to load the game anyway. Surely this shouldn't be so difficult.....or is it just me?!?!?

That should have worked, not sure what went wrong.
Try going to game options and disable background changes and see if that helps.
Try installing a background pack of your choosen resolution (although it shouldn't be needed if used nick's patcher as it converts existing backgrounds)
Or just pick an existing 1280x800 exe and install a background pack of 1280x800
Yes, it must be .68.
I am getting an issue when i am trying to download Tapani 2.22 from the link provided. It's failing to download, via Chrome and plus my security app, Bitdefender, is telling me it is an infected file with the Trojan.GenericKD.32184073. Any ideas why this is being red flagged?
While I agree with this change in the approach (that people who want new .exes should create themselves rather than you), I think we can provide an easy alternative to those who don't want or can't do that:
We can convert all v7 .exes into v8 .exes and reupload them all (I even volunteer myself to do that, as I think it can be done very quickly, maybe in less than 5 minutes total, not counting upload times): Isn't it as easy as generating an universal v7tov8.patch file (by simply comparing a v8 .exe with a v7 .exe of the same settings in flex), and mass applying this unique patch file to all existing v7 .exes? If thats the case, then if we put all v7 .exes in a single folder I really think we could do it all in less than 5 minutes with Nick's tool (not counting zip/upload times).

Just wanted to check once i have completed the actions as described for step 9, would i need to do anything else, say select apply within Nick's Patch Tool to update the .exe? And lastly would we expect to see within Game Setting the following version: Version: 3.9.68T - Build Nov 21 2002 Tapani v2.22 + s7 or should we see 3.9.68T - Build Nov 21 2002 Tapani v2.22 + s8?
I only persevered with the post #2 exes previously because JohnLocke's Flex was java-based and some people did legitimately have trouble with it and creating their own exes. With Nick's patcher people now have no excuse IMO. But if you want to do the post #2 exes then I am only too happy to hand them over to you. I will send you on the v7.to.v8.patch once v8 is finalized.
It will still say Version: 3.9.68T - Build Nov 21 2002 Tapani v2.22 + s7 for now. If you want to double check that you've done things correctly, then check to see whether China is a playable league, or that there's now only 20 teams in Italy's Serie B.
With v7 patch i found that when i type "No Club" or "Italian" "English" or whatever nation in the "Player" search i can't find a lot of the free players which have "No Club" next to their name or are simply free agents.
Unpached all the players are available i belive.
This is not big of an issue for those who like CM scout.
But if u dont' want to use any software to judge the player abilities you may find urself stuck cuz u cant find any new regens who are free agents after update.
Another suggestion would be increasing "if possible" the manager regeneration or forcing clubs and nations to hire managers when they dont have any cuz if you don't play maximum database with all leagues in 20 years there's a lot of clubs without a manager and all of them play 5-3-2 v..whatever tactic.
It would be nice if clubs and nations have managers.
Btw when it comes to tactics i suggest removing or reworking the "new" 4-3-3 wide with the wib-wobed striker.
The only reason that tactic may dominate over the standard tactics is the pressing set to YES for all + offside trap.
If u put a simple 4-5-1 with offside trap + pressing vs that 4-3-3, with equal players the 4-3-3 loses.
Awesome work till now, i enjoy the patches ;]

cant get Tapani patch 2.22 to download. any ideas?
I have an old issue with all patches :
Generally, the players shown on my team are only those are available. But when I manage several teams, it's not possible, available is unticked after I continue the game. It's not very important, but is it possible to solve it ?
I know the thing you're talking about, I'm not sure what it really adds to the game either. I think I found Tapani's changes for this before, but I don't know if I noted them down.
You can apply for jobs at clubs/nations with no managers and they'll hire somebody. I usually add a second manager to do just this as you'll get board confidence/loyalty drops if you do it too often with your main manager. Automating the process would be useful but I'm not sure how easy it would be to do.
I won't be touching the tactics.
Probably your anti-virus preventing it from running. Try adding the Tapani to your anti-virus' whitelist / add it as an exception.
So you want the Available Only option to always be ticked? If so then I wouldn't know how to do that.
Maybe from this in Tapani:I know the thing you're talking about, I'm not sure what it really adds to the game either. I think I found Tapani's changes for this before, but I don't know if I noted them down.

Hi saturn
Usually after the window closes clubs can still hire free players. That is something you can add for the next patch?
Excellent, that's the one! Thanks for that, I had it buried in some 2.16.2 vs 2.17 changes - would've taken ages to find!
No, not really. It would mean adding an entirely new window to a country's transfer window code, along with all the rules for that window and all relevant messages for it. Also from a gameplay point of view I think it would either prove to be either not really important (big leagues) or too important (smaller leagues where almost every transfer is a free transfer, rendering the actual transfer windows pointless).
The automatization of such a process would be great quality of life improvement if there is a way to be done.
This will allow us to play with fewer leagues on and still face strong teams in the Champions League in long-term saves.
The issue is when a club or nation have no manager they play random (defensive most of the times) tactic, usually 532, 343, Sweeper and so on, and if the tactics are the default ones this results into these clubs losing games they could of won with proper tactic.
I think the overall performance of the AI clubs can be improved if they have managers, which will result in harder and more enjoyable gameplay.
I dunno about others, but for me this 1 is a big issue which if solved could be huge improvement to the gameplay.
Still the proper solution would be this to be done based on club reputation cuz its impossible for every club in the game to have manager.
