As with the editor, player ability and potential are not currently visible in the Scout. This limitation was requested by the game's developers.

I'm just using the Demo version at the moment and Scout doesn't work. It doesn't detect my version automatically so I manually change to "Demo" in the Options. I then get an exception error and the application closes.

Editor works fine.

I don't think the scout supports CC20 demo, not yet atleast. It didn’t work for me anyway
(not that I really care, having scout would be good but editor is enough for me at this point,just waiting for android release now )

@the_hodge and @RM19 It's probably safe to assume that nothing will work with the demo after each game patch. I guess in this case the editor is working by luck.

I'll look into it.

I knew this could be a problem. That's why I had already disabled the auto update in steam. So I don’t know if the demo has been updated. Scout actually never worked for me. I didn’t mention this before because editor was doing enough for me and I thought you didn’t make the scout compatible for the demo

 

[weetabixharry]

@the_hodge and @RM19 The issue with the new demo should now be fixed. Please try 2020.09-02.

The version auto-detection was actually still working correctly, it's just that it's only executed after the "Load" button is clicked in the Scout (I will tidy this up when I get some time). In other words, everything should work automatically even if the wrong version is selected when you launch the application.

The crash was caused by something totally unrelated that got changed in the demo.

 

[weetabixharry]

@the_hodge and @RM19 As with the Editor, please note that if you want to use Demo patch 20.10, then you must manually set the game version to Demo. (The auto-detection won't work with this patch).

Well, I'm actually frustrated playing this game now without an editor! Really sad to see a minority dictate the majority's choice. Thanks @weetabixharry for at least letting us have the option till it lasted.

I have been in contact with the game's developers and it should be possible to re-upload the editor very soon. I just don't have any time right now. But I'm hoping to find some time this weekend.

Wow! That's great news @weetabixharry can't wait to use it effectively. Glad to hear that the Developer's have seen the merit in having one.

Hi @weetabixharry did you find any free time to work on the scout? Eagerly awaiting. Many thanks in advance.

I just barely started. If nothing unexpected comes up, then I should be able to finish the new release this weekend.
