catafan Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 It's been an hour since the installation programme stopped at this stage. Why should I suffer this? The crap activation system has completely failed to stop piracy, and ironically only brings troulbes to the genuine buyers. Is this what SI want?

iamjerome Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 tried to reinstall to play the game properly via steam to use their auto-patch system, but instead it's been stuck now TWICE, once early hrs of last night when i got in and just now too, sigh.

Bardi Golriz Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Is this happening everytime you open Steam? If not, could you please restart Steam and try again? I had a similar issue which was resolved by doing just that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
catafan Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Tried another two times and the second one worked. However, I do not want the patch but I have no choice with STEAM. I cannot launch the game unless the patch is downloaded completely by STEAM. WHY, WHY? I've got a question, is SI paying money to STEAM for this "service", or is STEAM paying money to SI for some reason? If it is the former case, I absolutely CANNOT understand. Why does SI pay so much money to torture its game buyers? To stop piracy? NO, not at all, piracy users enjoy the game much better and earlier than us without any fuzzy trouble. I've never been so disappointed with SI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been so disappointed with SI. I've never laughed so hard at someone's 'I hate steam' post. SI's choice to use steam for the FM series is one of the best choices they've made. It saves allot of time and now I dont need to worry about loosing the CD since I can download the game on steam on any computer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty_u Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Mine was doing it earlier, deleted ClientRegistry.blob and Steam.dll from the Steam install folder, and loaded it again. Problem solved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that SI is forcing legitmate buyers to use STEAM, otherwise one must keep damaging his/her DVD-driver, damaging the game DVD and hearing the noise sent from the disk-reading driver. I've uninstalled steam-FM10 and steam, made an image of the game DVD myself, and been enjoying this game in the third way. I did not want that initially, but have been forced by SI and STEAM to do so. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
