Hey Guys, help please?

Hey everyone, if someone could help me i'd be so thankful.

Just purchased Football Manager 2009 ( yes 2009, was on sale) really don't want steam on my system so I tried the Unloic method. Unfortunatley it completes the installation then says errors have occured :S I have tried it many times but no luck.

Help Would be most appreciated

Thanks

Have you installed the latest patch? They released a patch for FM09 after FM10 came out, that removes the need to activate the game. So you can just play with the disk.

Could you be so kind to send me the link? problem is though, I havent even installed it to my compute yet ! will it matter?

Here's the link to the patch: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=173216

Um not sure, have you installed FM09 on your computer but it just needs activating when you try and run it?

If so, then yeah it should be fine.

Dammn "/ didn't work, steam proper mucks up my computer too. Nahh it says installed but like problems occured... and it has no note of it being installed on my computer.

I don't really wanna ring up to :L

Try uninstalling FM09 and delete steam and install using the disk with internet verfication, then install the latest patch.

I don't like steam either, i won't use it!

Grrr, still ain;'t working

Have you got the 'dotnetfx35' installed, if remember some people had problems with FM09 and had to install this..

i don't know what that is :L

Here's a download link for it: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en

Try installing that and see if you have any joy mate.

Cheers. downloading the link now. What exactly does it do? Fingers crossed!

Not sure, but you needed the network frame to get FM09 to work.

Did you get it to work for you in the end?
