craiguk88 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I bought this game on the day it came out and have played it fine with no problems. Now i have installed new patch it wont let me play and takes my to an activation screen and wants me to pay $29.99 to register. Anyone else had this problem? Anyone know where i can go to get help from SI? I cant believe this its ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsie Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Weird, i know if you have a pirated copy and you attempt to patch it it would more than likely do that. But an actual bought copy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiguk88 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 No i have actually bought it. Its on Mac and i thought the activation problems didnt effect Macs as much. I had no problems when i first installed it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leclercq Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Apparently mate, there's two patch downloads for the MAC version. Downloading the wrong one will see your problem occur. I think you need to download the other. I will try to find some more information and a link if you are confused. I think I know what you may have done. Did you get the standard mac patch? If you have a digital version you need the eSellerate patch not the normal one. The eSellerate patch is here: - FM 2009 v9.3.0 - Mac (eSellerate) Download and install that and give it a go, if it doesn't work you will have to uninstall the game completely and start again (eSellerate should keep your purchase details for re-activation). If that is how you got the game, you may have to follow this, if not, you may have got this patch and need the other. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craiguk88 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Ill give the other one a go then. I don't have the digital version though i bought the hard copy from a game shop. Thank you for your help so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiguk88 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thank you so much Leclercq, i went back to the download page and noticed there are 2 patches for mac as you said one for digital and one for normal. I never noticed the first time and downloaded the wrong one like a fool. Downloaded the right one now and it works a treat, thanks once again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
