Steam probs today

any1 else getting steam probs, got an error saying cant connect due to internet probs or issues with steam ??????

Mine working fine so far

You receive the ‘Error: Application was unable to connect to the internet. Please check your connection.’

Fix:

1) Open IE and go to: https://fm2009.sa01.softanchorinsight.com

2) Here if you are using IE7 it will prompt you – “There is a problem with this website’s security certificate.”

3) Next, Click – “Continue to this website (not recommended)”. However – this is okay, it is safe.

4) Look up top at your IE address bar – you will see “Certificate Error”. Click this box, then click “View Certificates”.

5) Press, “Install Certificate…”

6) Select the “Place all certificates in the following store”.

7) Press “Browse”

8) Select “Trusted Root Certificate Authorities”. Not this will install the Go Daddy (a reputable) certificate into your trusted root certificate authorities if it is not there.

9) Press OK

10) Press Next

11) Press Finish

Close IE, then Reopen it and to go to https://fm2009.sa01.softanchorinsight.com. Note: on this visit, you will be allowed without trouble.

From here –

1) Reopen your FM2009 game

2) Enter your key into the Activation Dialog

3) Select the “Online” activation

You game should activate immediately.

As soon as you do point 1, it prompts you for a username and password.

nah its not having it, is still saying u have probs with internet connection or there is a prob with the steam network, was working fine yesterday, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Mine seems to be working, but I only use it to launch the game.

This worked for me as I was having it earlier.

Go to My Computer, then Program Files, then Steam & delete ClientRegistry.blob.

Then try again, but you might want to back up that file, just incase.

I was trying to install my FM btw.

Hope this helps you.

Works fine for me.

I can't connect either, Steam seems to wanna update itself but cant connect and asks me to try later. Two days now. Tried to disconnect from internet and start in offline mode, but it doesnt work either.

I am a little bit unhappy that I need to go via steam to play a game a paid a lot for. If there is a problem on the steam-end and I dont intend to play online, why shouldnt I be able to start the game offline? Disappointing..

Works fine for me, has done always bar when the patches came out

You can start the game without starting Steam. Go into C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\football manager 2009\ find the fm.exe create a shortcut to it on your desktop. Bingo you can play without loading up Steam (or at least I can and I installed using Steam), it's even in the FAQ.

working fine here whats the problem? i need more details than that

Yep thats what to do. I never start the game via steam unless an update comes out.

I try and start the game as usual clicking on desktop short cut, a steam update then starts, then steam asks for my login details which i put in (never normally does), it then says that either my login is incorrect or u hava internet prob, 2 days running now, v strange never had a problem before ????????
