lawsy009 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Out of the blue one day, just before the .3 patch was released for FM 09, my game just wouldn't go on anymore. Everytime I click it, the following message comes up C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\football manager 2009\fm.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I only got the chance to say okay, and the game never loads up. Anyone got any idea what's going on wit this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Have you downloaded the 9.3.0 patch? It sounds that the game could be corrupted which means you may have to reinstall but try applying the patch first and see does that fix it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I had this issue once before. Your best bet is to re-install the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsy009 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 I was thinking it was corrupt. I've uninstalled the game and re-installed it, or should I say I'm in the process of re-installing it. Thanks for the help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsy009 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Nope it's not working, dunno what the problem is, I un-installed it and re-installed it. Didn't take the product key off though, you think I should and then re-install it with the product key? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawsy009 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 It's not even letting me un-install the game now :S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Do a full clean uninstall. Delete the registry entries and cache files as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsy009 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 And Steam? If so, should I just put the game in to re-install it again yeah? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Yeah you can uninstall steam again if you like. Try reinstalling it with uniloc and see does that make a difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsy009 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Basically think I'm getting somewhere with this, un-installed it and now re tried it with Uniloc, so I'm just downloading the patches as we speak. Question for you guys, is it really worth downloading 9.0.3 patch, or should I just stop at 9.0.2? Just I've saw a lot of problems on that patch written on the forum, just wondered what the score is. Any help much appriciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnyboy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 i would say 9.3 go with that.has the less bugs of all patches so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just I've saw a lot of problems on that patch written on the forum, just wondered what the score is.Any help much appriciated. I would say the 9.3.0 patch is definitely the one you want. IMO, there were far more annoying bugs in 9.2.0, hence the need for a 3rd patch. FWIW, I wouldn't pay too much attention to people whinging about bugs on here, for the most part, you are unlikely to notice many bugs and if you do, it is likely that they are not game breaking. If you read too much into what people say on here about bugs, all it does is make you look for bugs whilst playing the game and you don't get the enjoyment out of it that you really should Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 You could play the game without putting in the code? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 When you uninstall FM, you get the option to choose whether you want to deactivate the licence for that computer. If you choose "No", then I don't think have to put the code in when you reinstall. If however, he chose to deactivate it but he still didn't have to put the licence in, then something has gone wrong :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
