Neji Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Do you have the game open when trying to patch? If so quit it and try patching again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxxz14 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Nah i dont have it open when i patch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Look in the task manager to see if fm.exe is in the processes section. If so, end task it. Otherwise try restarting the computer if you haven't already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

benji!!!!! Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 J-Bird- Save it in a location you can find again easily. It will save to there and once completed go to the location you saved it, click it and then click update. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braver Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 im having a simlair problem, ill run you through what i do, hopefully you can see what im doing wrong: last month - purchased 2010 fm from Game installed it from the disk not stream Click to download patch - save it to desktop when its finished, double click it - comes up with 'unable to find program to run it etc' have tried .exe at the end and opening it with football manager program, which worked but in preferences still said 10.00, wtf!

You shouldnt be "opening it WITH" anything. it has a self-extractor, so should run on its own. Which patch was it, 10.2? and definitely downloaded the "boxed" version of the patch ?

rinso Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 yeah but i will try again just to make sure could be completely pointless, but... download the patch, and then reboot the pc. that way you know nothing else is running. then try and patch FM and see if it works...

laxxz14 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Do you think it can have an effect if ive installed it as the steam version on my laptop and the offline on my computer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braver Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 yep it was 10.2 and the boxed version, i dont have a choice with the 'open with' wont let me change it from football mnager for some reason, i'v come to the conclusion im just ******** Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I couldn't honestly tell you, but I don't think so, no. Braver > delete the one you downloaded, and re-do it. See if that fixes it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rinso Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Braver > do you have winzip (or similar) installed? If you do, tell the patch to "open with" win zip, extract it, then run it... laxxz > i'm sorry but I can't find any solutions for your problem atm...

WeeZie_A_Baybeh Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 ive been reading what you ladz have been writting and i still am having the same problem as Braver, this is getting so frustrating, partly because of my lack of knowledge on how to download the patch and the fact that i dont have patience with things like this.. Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to finally make the wrongs, rights with consideration to this problem cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
camel Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I'm also having the same problem as Weezie and Braver. When I've downloaded a patch previously, it just installs with no problem. I've downloaded WinRar, so I'll give that a go and let you know if it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
camel Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yep, it works if you just open it with WinRar...its a free download, so just google it and then hopefully you'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
