stig87 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 i have recently bought fm 2011, dvd/disc, and installed it on my mac. when i then open the fm folder and click on the fm icon to run the game it does nothing, the icon appears to open but then nothing happens. has anyone else had this problem ? any ideas on how to resolve it ? i downloaded the patch but no joy there either.

Steve Cox Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hi Stig, I don't have much Mac Expertise but if you post up the specs of your machine in this thread I'll get our Mac expert to take a look at it for you. I closed your other thread, no need for two, but update here and we'll see if we can get you up and running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machetero Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Same happens with Editor on my MAC. As for FM11, such thing (game jumping in doc for a while and disappearing) happened couple of times, but then I managed to start it (did nothing special for that, just tried again).

cgonzalez Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Try removing it and re-installing it. Also what spec is the mac your trying to install on? I take it its an Intel equipped one? If not, it wont work. I got my game through Steam for my mac, but its worked fine so far... Hope you get it sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
louistot Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 thats whats happening to mine now. I bought it on release day and installed it on steam and it was working fine until today when it starting bouncing in the dock but not opening. so i installed it using the disc (not on steam) to see if that would work and it did initially until i realized i hadnt installed the patch. So i installed the patch and tried to open up fm again and it would do the same thing as it did on steam and just bounce in the dock and not open. Hopefully this helps solve the problem.

Machetero Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Can I ask what OS version those of you who cannot launch the game are running? MBP 2009 System: 10.6.4 Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Video: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M FM2010 runs fine and smoothly. FM2011 in comparison looks like Beta version... alas. UI is pretty sluggish, and 3D is about 50% more resource consuming while being played on the same settings as FM10.

I noticed the same thing with the UI, it is really sluggish and mushy feeling on my mac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriops Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Same problem with me. FM 2011 worked fine untill I installed the update on the steam. Now it just bounce on the dock and it wont response.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich Staying Up Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Stig - isn't the minimum spec OS 10.5 on mac? you're running 10.4 which isn't supported IIRC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
