ahmufcwafc Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I can't play the game due to an XML parsing error If you have a shortcut on your desktop you can do the following: Right-click on the FM shortcut. Choose "Properties" from the pop-up menu. In the "Target" field, add the --reset_preferences command line option after "fm.exe", so it should look like this:"C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe" --reset_preferences Press OK and then try to run the game as normal, using the shortcut. You'll want to remove the command after you run the game, as otherwise it will continue to reset your preferences every time you launch. If you don't have a shortcut you can make one and then perform the instructions on the shortcut you've made. If you purchased and installed the game through Steam you should be able to find the fm.exe in the following directory:C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Football Manager 2009/ If you purchased and installed the game from a boxed DVD copy you should be able to find the fm.exe in the following directory:C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2009/ Other XML Errors First of all you need to turn on hidden files and folders. Go to My Computer and at the top select 'Tools' the 'Folder Options'. The go to the 'View' tab and select 'Show hidden files and folders' Delete the following folder: XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\settings Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\settings This may solve some issues regarding the XML Errors Try that, hopefully it'll work.

FoulkesyLFC Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 First tip didn't work and couldn't even find the file for the second, may it have anything to do with i had a power cut shortly after i had saved? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJoe Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 If it saved fully before the powercut then it's not the powercuts fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 couldn't even find the file for the second Did you make sure to check 'Show All Hidden Files and Folders'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoulkesyLFC Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 If it saved fully before the powercut then it's not the powercuts fault. The powercut was right on the finishing of the save, so it could have still been saving, how can i reverse this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Sounds like your save file is corrupted. There's no way of getting it back unless you made backup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoulkesyLFC Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 heart break!!! if it would have back up automatically where could i find that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Take a look in the saves folder, FM sometimes makes a back up if it didn't save fully. If it has, try to load that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earmack Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I've had corrupt saves and they never give me a parsec error, it just hangs the game and eventually crashes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
