Deltaroad Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 OK So I've install FM on my desktop activated it via steam. All good, seems ok, turned stream offline and it seems to be working without disk (not played a day yet so hopefully it doesn't ask me to insert CD). FM2010 icon appears on the desktop as it should do. Then went to laptop, installed FM, activated steam, updated with patch, everything seems fine expect I cannot find the FM2010 logo anywhere. There is no Sports Interactive folder in the start, program menu. There is a SI folder in the My documnets folder and a SI folder in the C:// programs folder but nothing is in there besides an uninstall file. So where is the FM2010 start up icon?

taylorsmen Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Look in your steam folders,the FM icon should be in there. program files/valve/steam/steamapps/common That should find it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltaroad Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 It is there but why is there not one on my desktop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorsmen Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 No idea tbh why there aint one on your desktop,aint one on mine neither.I play my game through steam so i guess no icon is needed. Did you get your game working on your laptop btw ? hope so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norkey Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I installed it not using steam, but I have no icon neither. I had even no new folder 'start' panel. I can create it, for sure, but it's not very professional approach from developer or whoever is responsible for that.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltaroad Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 The game works through stream. I have an icon on my desktop but not on my laptop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mne2 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 The reason it's not on the desktop is because the game is a 'Game for Windows'. Microsoft puts certain restrictions on where shortcuts developers are put. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nailer123 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I installed it just via the CD and had no icon either. There's one in the Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2010 folder though so just create a shortcut on the desktop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltaroad Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 I don't even have a SI folder. mne2 I don't understand why is there a icon on my desktop but NOT on my Laptop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mne2 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I don't even have a SI folder. mne2 I don't understand why is there a icon on my desktop but NOT on my Laptop? Neither do i lol unless you created it yourself? If you don't have an SI folder then i guess you installed via steam in which case it will be in Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Football Manager 2010 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltaroad Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 There is a FM2010 icon in the stream/streamapps folder, that works. But icon is different to the one on my desktop. Has what appears to be a "JO" picture. I haven't created the FM icon on my desktop it was created for me during the CD installation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerhgrrrrrr Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 The reason it's not on the desktop is because the game is a 'Game for Windows'. Microsoft puts certain restrictions on where shortcuts developers are put. So the Capitalist Hippies (!) dont want me to have a shortcut on my desktop so I cannot have one! - nice one Billy Bob!!!! You can create a copy of a shortcut but it reads "FM10 Shortcut 2" which is annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
