1. I searched for "Foot" and it came up in the top of the suggestions...

2. US $39.99

3. Yes, save the changes in the .exe to accomodate the achievements (I imagine).

4. Any you have Steam installed on, though SI doesn't use SteamCloud, so you'd have to bring your savegame along on a flashdrive or some such, or play a different save.

4a. Keeping in mind you can only have your Steam account open on one computer in the world at any given moment.

1 - How do you buy via steam, do you go to the store and search fm2011

Yes. Or you buy the boxed copy and activate it through Steam.

2 - how much is it on steam

29.99 I believe. And they throw in an extra for you (Sega Megadrive Collection)

3 - does it download as normall and will all the programme files be the same?

Yep. And you'll get access to the Steam achievement system that is linked to the game.

4 - how many computers can I use my game on?

As many as you can afford, with the exception that only one of them can be connected to Steam at any one time.

Perfect, 1 computer at a time suits me. My laptop and one other laptop for when Im at the girlfriends. Only 1 version will be running for me

If a buy it at midnight bang on friday will it download then?

You can buy it now, and download 99% of it right now (takes 20 mins or so...)

When it is officially released (let's say midnight Thurs/Fri) - you can download the remaining 1% in the blink of an eye, and you're good to go.

Can you change the payment currency on steam? Eg. From euro to GDP? 49.99 euro v 29.99 GDP

I am actually erect lol WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I read in another thread that you don't have to be online with Steam to launch the application. The above answers seem to contradict this, as it implies there must be a connection to Steam.

Which is correct?

With the impending release of Football Manager 2011, we are glad to confirm that preloading Football Manager 2011 on Steam has started now!

Football Manager 2011 will unlock for play at the following times.

Australia & Asia (Nov 5th at 12:00am Perth)

Eastern Europe (Nov 5th at 12:00am Moscow)

Western Europe (Nov 5th at 12:00am CET)

UK (Nov 5th at 12:00am GMT)

USA (Nov 5th at 12:00am EST)

PST – Pacific Standard time (West Coast USA)

GMT – Greenwich Mean Time (UK)

EST - Eastern Standard time (East Coast USA)

Is that Nov 4th 9pm Pacific Daylight Time? PST doesnt start till 2am 11/7 (or 7/11).

Was wondering the exact same thing Bababui.....My guess is we get the game at 9:00 PM out here on THursday.

Once installed, Steam can be set to "offline" mode and you then don't need to be connected to play.

Already patched?

Thought I'd have Thursday evening to play after 12am in the UK. Crap.

You do have to go online every few months I believe, to verify your account still.

Twellman, are you on the East Coast? Unless I'm totally dense the game unlocks at Midnight EST and 9:00pm on Thursday night? Sorry if I'm making this more complicated then it needs to be : 0

1. yes

2. $39.99

3. yes

4. as many as you want.

USA (Nov 5th at 12:00am EST)

This says it will unlock at 12am on Nov 5th. So, the same as the UK, but in our time. Which means we'll have to wait around 6 hours after everybody in the World but as has it.

Or that's what I am getting here.

australia get's it before everyone

i knew it would have been worthwile to emigrate to down under

This is really silly...

All you have to do is convince steam you're in Australia and boom you get the game many hours in advance. If everyone lived in a bubble this wouldn't be a problem but this is a global community with a game released on a global platform that can easily let everyone have it at the same time and not create artificial waits for things.

Hey why complain? If it was a set time it would probably be GMT...instead you can start playing earlier.

Bah, I thought I had it tomorrow afternoon. No wonder your bloody game doesn't sell in America, you still mad at us about the Revolution or what, that we have to wait until almost a day after all the loyal convicts in Aussieland. I'm gonna kick up Civ 5, take the German's in a real world map and rewrite World War 1 without us 20 hours later guys coming across the pond.

Just tell Steam you're an Aussie? It's what everyone else will be doing.

Steam/Settings/DL Region maybe?

Is this like the getting people to admit to illegal downloading thread from the other day?

I don't think I'll risk saying anything more than my above statement with the mods on here.

Are you on something? This is about people who have ALREADY BOUGHT the game.

So if you change your Steam Server to Australia it will download sooner ?????

Hmmm........................

Are you on something? This is about people who have ALREADY BOUGHT the game.

And I know some people who already bought the game who downloaded the pirate version just to be able to play a week or so earlier.

I like these forums (though not posting cos normally you get your head bitten off) and I don't want to fall victim to some trigger-happy mod.

You can download right now. People are hoping it will unlock in Aussie time.

I appreciate that. Lets not put any ideas in their heads.

I meant unlock, sorry.

I changed servers and it now says Midnight tomorrow and I am in the USA

Switching download server does not help. its ip based.

I wonder if SI will notice this rather obvious flaw?

Where does it say when it unlocks? Cant find that info.

on the game page for the game in the steam store.

Well they could set it to unlock in only one timezone, as no one can control time like they can ips.

Already done

Well they could set it to unlock in only one timezone, as no one can control time like they can ips.

But they would still have to rely on IP's.

They should unlock the game simultaneously. That would seem to be the fair thing to do.

Using a proxy server seems to be unfair to those who dont know how. One release time for all!!
