Matrix Games Forums

I've looked around on FBMAX and the MEMBER D/L page, but can't find these new playbooks. Are tehy out yet?

Most files sit in the 'Unsorted files' category for a while. Anything recently uploaded would be there.

Go to FBmax, click on the unsorted files, once there scroll down, the files are listed alphabetically.  The two playbooks files begin NML so you will find them in the "Ns".

I tried d/ling and using the playbooks in the NMLS pro file, but they cause my games to crash. In the opening play, all of the players on the offensive team try to line up on the same spot and the game becomes stuck. Has anybody else encountered this?

Make sure you have the beta patch

I tried installing the patch (v10139?), but my games keep crashing right before kick off if I use any other playbook than fun & gun.

1039 ist not the actual beta patch. You will find the patch in the Matrix Member Section. The crash is no wonder as the plays are desingned using the new PDS.

OK, please bear with me a little here as I'm far less au fait with the game (and the site) than most of you guys (I have only had it for 3 days).

I have done what you suggested and joined the Matrix members' section. I looked under the "Patches and Updates" section and the latest patch displayed for MF is v.1.0.1039. Under "Registered Downloads" there is MF version 1.3.84 which seemingly was posted on 2nd Nov - this is also the latest thing on the MF private downloads.

Is it the latter that I need? Apologies if I'm being an idiot. [&:]

Yup
1.3.84 is the latest beta patch [:)]

I think part of the confusion for most of us newbies is that the latest is referred to as R3 but the download is named 1.3.84. I had the same problem finding the right patch. Might want to consider clarifying in one of the stickeys.
