LordyBoy Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Okay i had the same problems as everybody else when the game was first launched. The graphics problems etc. Before i was getting another pop up whenever i tried starting the game so i uninstalled everything and installed it again. I launch the game via steam and im getting this thing popping up again in a little box saying "XML parsing error! not well formed(invalid token) at line 1 of default.xml" Can anybody help me pleaseee?

ahmufcwafc Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Another one from the known issues thread 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/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
