Spurs1979 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 5 threads below this there is another thread called "NTL Patch" which strangely enough is about your same problem. In there someone offers to send you the patch if you e-mail them. Now do you need anymore help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptfc_kev Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 I normally subscribe to the school of thought of ask first rather than just randomly email . However, Ive emailed the lad who seems to have the patch. Hopefully that will work. Suppose this thread can just be closed now.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogs Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I've put the ntl patch exe up for download. Copy and paste this exe over the one in your fm2005 directory. When loading a game with run as server ticked the game freezes again at the end of the shortlist generation, but dont panic the game moves after approx 30 secs.

furtherseemsforever Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I swear to god Im going to kill someone. Me and a friend fancied a network game. Ive never done it before and seeing as how Ive have my band broadened to 1MB (NTL obv. ) I said I'll host. Came in here for some brief instructions and noticed this thread. So I download that 14MB file. 'Do you wnat to replace yada yada with blah blah'. Clicked yes. Downloads. Attempted to start the game by clicking on said .exe, 'Cannot find data folder!' "Here we go......" Clicked on my desktop FM icon (the non-tainted exe ) and the game starts. Nice one. I go to Network, hit New Game (Prem only, 5.0.5 etc) and it loads up. Before even adding a manager, I go to Preferences and select the 'Run as Server' option, just naming it randomly. Click continue, and that was it. Full-on freeze for about 15 minutes until I ctrl+alt+del the whole thing off. Now, here is the good bit. Hours later, I start the game again and attempt to load my 6 season-long saved game. I set it off loading and put the kettle on. Come back 5 mins later and its frozen again - just on the menu screen with the mouse pointer as the football. Please, for the love of god, someone tell me what the hell is going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant4114 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 i dont think your games ruined, it just seems that you didnt install the .exe correctly and thus it still loadin up by the old .exe. If you untick run as server with the old exe your saved games and that should work again. To start over, just reinstall the 5.05 patch and then any data updates you have Then try installing the new .exe again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Ok i can see that you are frustrated. This is what i suggest for a fail safe install and network game. Uninstall fm05. Making sure you back up any saved games tactics etc onto cd prior to this. So uninstall fm06, then go into your program files and delete the sports interactive folder, go into my documents and dleete the sports interactive folder in there aswell. Run any reg cleaner utility, Norton systemworks, or tuneup utilities , reg mechanic etc. Reinstall fm05 onto c: repatch the game with 5.05 then copy and paste the exe i have put up for dowmload over the fm exe in the fm05 directory. Dont concern yourself with having to click into the fmo5 folder to start a game. Any shortcuts on your desktop will auto target this new exe anyhow. then start a new game with run as server ticked. The above is failsafe. I have ntl broadband and can host no problem with this specially patched exe where i couldnt before. If you still are having problems after this i would suggest looking at your machine build|O/S build as its likely to be problem outwith FM05 cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever run as server is ticked it will freeze just as its finished loading. Hence the need for the fix Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
furtherseemsforever Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Thanks for the replies, fellas. This is not the first time that NTL have inadvertantly ruined my day, heh. To be honest, I'd rather sack off the whole idea of a network game than uninstall etc as I have loads of graphics stuff in there that took me ages to compile plus several saved game. I dont have a blank CD on me either. If needs must I'll copy them in to a back-up folder and get on with it. What I will do now is load it up and uncheck the run as server. I didnt know that this would still be activated after I had exited and then attempted an old game. All I wanna do now is just play the game on my own. My bro freaked when I told him this morning that I had 'destroyed champ man'. Cheers again mates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sav112 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I need to read this online forum more "NTL patch" So not being able to help hosting was the games fault after all. Well I hope this patch is worked into FM06 as I’m hoping to help out with hosting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstar_99 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Thanks for posting the patch, I haven't tried it yet but I have everything crossed. I've been trying to solve this problem for months now. I don't understand why the 'NTL' Patch was not made available earlier. I've not played any Network Play THIS YEAR. Me and my mate have been gutted. PS Anyone actually techie that knows why this bug happens???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant4114 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Aint a clue, its a long known problem and only last couple of months people started getting hold of it.

Guest sav112 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 FM06 works fine mate. just tested it online as I was effected in FM05 Which still annoys me as the whole NTL patch was treated like a cloak and dagger roll out and to me showed that some needed to smell the coffee and wake up with a brain cell. I don’t even know if the walk around was even done officially. I know what you feared but its ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryant4114 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Why this is still stickied i do not know THERE IS NO NTL PROBLEM ON FM06 If you have a problem, its you-specific. While NTL may be a company of incompetent fools offering a cheap, basic and flawed service, it doesnt affect fm any more. You may be on NTL and have a problem, but that your network provider is no irrelevant. Unless you have AOL, thats just weird Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
