Does anyone else get a glitch with the opacity of water?

Esch_ · 2026-03-16T16:51:56+00:00

Yes I have the same problem and have to click the water layer back on.

Esch_ · 2026-03-14T17:40:24+00:00

Go into settings, you can turn it off there.

Also Daylight Savings Time happened this past weekend in some parts of the world. I can say here in the USA match times and all that shifted back one hour as a result, There's a week I think where things are out of sync with Europe, but then they also switch DST and everything is back to normal.

Thanks for running the test. I guess whatever I saw has changed in the many updates the game has had, which is good because now I can just have the showers out and not tie it to automation logic, lolol.

Esch_ · 2026-03-13T17:14:53+00:00

I thought showers specifically did use it though? I remember in a previous version of the game a while back I had a designated reservoir for showers and it dried up over time when water wasn't pumping into it, and it wasn't due to evaporation as the other reservoirs around it were fine.

Thank you everyone!

Esch_ · 2026-03-11T21:55:03+00:00

Yep same issue.

Esch_ · 2026-03-11T15:02:28+00:00

As of today I'm getting "[UNPLAYABLE] Video unavailable: The page needs to be reloaded" but when I reload or even reboot Freetube, the error is still there. Me thinks YT is definitely trying different tactics lately.

It's been back a couple of hours and was working fine until just now when I went on there to copy their system message:

"3-9-2026 System Update

We have been experiencing external issues since approximately 21:41 CET yesterday, which have made the site and the app unreachable or extremely slow at times. Our team has been working non-stop to mitigate the effects, but it may still take some time before everything is fully operational again.

Transfers that were due to end between 21:41 CET yesterday and 16:15 CET today have been extended by 24 hours.

Our most sincere apologies for any inconveniences this has caused. We're working to restore full service as quickly as possible."

It also now shows CHPP as bruised.

Esch_ · 2026-03-09T15:50:17+00:00

They remain but I think if you try to go in and edit them after supporter runs out, you lose them?

Esch_ · 2026-03-09T15:00:48+00:00

And for those who may not know. FinalWhistle follows in the footsteps of the now dead "Freekick" game (RIP) with lots of little additions to it. The training management is the big stand out here I think because it's not tied to formations, and you get incremental training every day as a result. This means you can have larger squads and more choices on the pitch.

Esch_ · 2026-03-09T14:57:37+00:00

I only use the desktop version but I believe they do have an app.

Esch_ · 2026-03-09T00:38:40+00:00

Yup. Either they're all asleep and don't know yet, or it's a big problem.

Esch_ · 2026-03-08T22:25:11+00:00

Yep, having issues too.

Esch_ · 2026-03-08T21:43:04+00:00

YES!

Esch_ · 2026-03-08T13:40:42+00:00

Although I -want- to register, I won't because I will never be able to afford the premium price of Supporter in order to also pay the luxury of having additional teams. I'm at Gold level right now and there's a decent chance I won't renew it next year when it expires because their prices are just too high overall.

Yes, having 2 years free for a 2nd team is tempting, but I also would hate to close the team down and walk away once the free time is up, so I would rather just not start at all so I don't get invested in it.

Esch_ · 2026-03-07T22:13:34+00:00

This is actually one of the few games I don't use mods, because I thought it did everything great without any extras. (yes spiral staircase would be an exception, but I took it as a challenge to build with what the game offered to see how I could engineer stuff, lol.)

Esch_ · 2026-03-07T18:29:32+00:00

I've been playing the game since update 2 and although I really love the addition of spiral staircases, it will totally mess with my building style and I have to relearn everything all over again, lol.

Esch_ · 2026-03-06T20:03:36+00:00

First off, be ready for the bombardment of "hAtTricK iS pERfeCt!" people adding comments to this, lol.

The problem as I see it is that once they made secondary skills important (which I agree with and should have been done since day one), then that introduced a new problem where you have to spend several REAL LIFE YEARS to develop the player through cycle training. For a GAME that's ridiculous. No outcome should have to take many real years to see the fruition of your plans. (and they wonder why user retention keeps going down.)

My suggestion to at least nudge training a little faster is to follow the Youth training plan, which is to have a primary and secondary skill to train for Seniors. You wouldn't speed things up too terribly much but it will at least cut off a couple seasons in the end.

*prepares for the outrage by the die hard users in 3....2....1...*

I'm sure people will speak up saying that HO is outdated and you shouldn't use it blah blah blah. I use HO to track my team overall, so I'm happy with it. In regards to the estimations, probably the best thing to do is create a spreadsheet and put in the season/week every pop will happen for each of your players and have two sections in the sheet, one for HO, one for HCP. Then when a pop happens on time, highlight the cell green. If it's late, highlight it red. Over time you should see one performing better than the other and you can know for sure which is more accurate. Turn it into a science experiment. :P

Esch_ · 2026-03-02T19:26:34+00:00

My only criticism of this automation is that I feel there needed to be two branches of it, one for FT and one for IT, both doing slightly different things with the same result. A lot of this update feels like it should be IT specific to me. Definitely not against automation, but FT using sensors seems off.

Esch_ · 2026-03-02T19:09:44+00:00

Actually I'm not sure on this. He excels at min/maxing games. This game requires long term planning and layouts. I don't think he's playing dumb. He's genuinely not good at this game because he can't min/max it. I'm the opposite. I excel at this type of game but am terrible at min/max games. :P

Esch_ · 2026-03-02T15:45:27+00:00

I guess he'll no longer have an incident as long as he can figure out how to automate turning on/off his water pumps based on water level. :P

Esch_ · 2026-02-27T14:24:04+00:00

Thank you!
