FrazT Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 The game is not tested on or really suitable for a Netbook. It may run but you will need to install the Netbook skin as your current screen resolutuion is below the min spec for the game.

trekman Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Id suggest getting a laptop with more ram. I think you'll struggle with more than about 2 or 3 leagues with just 1gb. I dont think you'll get 3d either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your not prepaired to use steam then you'll have to invest in a dvd drive since the disk is a dvd and not a regular dvd and as part of the copy protection the disk is required to remain in the drive while your playing fm. I am also pretty sure that moving the contents of the disk on to an external drive is an infringment of the EULA and would probably be considered illegal and could get you into a lot of trouble with SI and Sega.
