Language Groups

Q: I can't find any topics on my native language, how can I fix this?
A: OSM forums are available also in a few other languages than English: Dutch, Spanish, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese and Turkish. These forum languages are subject to change at any time depending on activity and volunteers to help moderate them.
There are two ways to get access to your native language forums:

Easiest one is by accessing OSM from your native language. By doing this, you'll be automatically added to the correct group of forum users and on your next access a new 'forum' group will be available
Second process is also easy. Just click on groups

select your language group

and then join that goup

 Achievements

Q: I've won 10 cups already and I still don't have cup master achievement?
A: Achievements were introduced on 14th October 2014. Some achievements only start counting after that date. Cup achievements are one of them, so only cups won after that date are taken into account!

Simulation time

Q: My matches simulate too early/late. Can I change simulation time?
A: You can't change simulation time on ongoing leagues, but you can set a preferred simulation time for next leagues. You do that on settings (Apps) and on your profile on Web.
We can't guarantee at 100% that you'll be placed on a server where matches are simulated at your preferred time, because it will depend on vacancies and server availability, but if that happens it will be really in rare situations.
Special leagues like battles, winners cup and others are excluded from this, because it groups managers with several different time preferences and it's impossible to do it.

Enable iOS notifications

Q: How do I enable my notifications?

A: Notifications on iOS App are enabled upon the OSM's App installation. If you miss doing that during the installation it will be possible to enable/disable them only right after you initiate the first action with any of the game's timers ( i.e. a Training session or Stadium upgrade etc ). When you will start it, you will be queried if you wish to enable your notifications.
After this you will be able to enable/disable them on your App settings, via iPhone/iPad settings.

Remove/Delete my account

Q: How do I remove/delete my osm account
A: Please keep in mind that removing your account is a final action and you can not get it back if you regret the decision. So think it through before you hit the confirmation button.
Accounts on mobile devices are linked to devices, so if you delete your account to create a new one, you may need help from our Support and that may take some time.
To delete it, just access settings on OSM App and profile on Web

One season game

Q: What happens if the season is over?
A: OSM is a one season game, which means that everything will be reset after the season (players/bank balance/stadium upgrades etc).
There's an exception in some top leagues where top positions grant you access to a winners league. If you qualify, you'll get a ticket at the end of the season and you can use it on same slot or a different one. Keep an eye on it, because tikets have expiration date

Criteria invites

Q: Why didn't I receive Boss Coins ( BCs ) after inviting managers?

A: To be able to get these rewards, following criteria have to be met:

New user has to sign up via invitation link and on same session (if user installs app then closes it and later opens it and sign up, it won't work. He needs to click link again and only after create the account)
Invited user has to create a new account and not joining league with an existing one.
There's a maximum of 10 rewards, so all invites sent after that won't give any more rewards.

    Match Experience's Feature

Q : How does the game engine work during the Match Experience?

A : The game's engine calculates chances, missed attempts of scoring a goal, corners, fouls, yellow cards/red cards, penalty kicks , freekicks etc etc... These are real events that happen during the match simulation and are correct ( simulation wise ones ). But after that comes another task of the game engine, which assigns one random ''reason'' for every specific situation/event that occured on the field.
The events during each match do happen, but the way those events happened (like explained above) are picked randomly from a list of the game engine.

- Can't login on OSM

I was kicked out of OSM App and now I can't get back in. Is it possible to recover it? What can I do?

If your account was linked to Facebook, gamecenter, googleplay, it's quite easy, just log in using the correct social login to do it. If you didn't linked to any of them, but have set an e-mail, you can use the recover password option to regain access to your account.
In case you didn't have any of the above, then your account is lost
As a last resource you can fill in a ticket on support just to double check if you really didn't linked account to any of the above, but... chances to recover it are pretty much zero.
