wally13 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Mmm did you get any errors after install or did it say fm installed ok and are all your drivers uptodate ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scholes=legend Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Yep everything is up to date mate. All was fine till today, i was even playing this afternoon but when i went to play the game tonight i get all this. First of all i couldn't see regen pics which i need as i'm in 2015 so i decided to re-install thinking this would sort the problem out. But after doing that the problem is much much worse..... When i start the game the intro is fine, its as soon as i hit the main menu everything mad, thes a black line across the top then a grey screen with the 4 options to choose but thats all can't do anything.

GeordieG1971 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Even though everything is upto date, i'd recommend re-downloading your graphics card drivers. Re-install them and see if it sorts it out. (you may have got a corrupt file on a shutdown...it does happen) As you say in the main menu eveything is weird...do you mean corrupt graphics?? i.e. There all dodgy and garbled? Sounds like it COULD be either drivers or your card, but hard to say as i'm assuming this doesn't hapooen in another game? Have you just tried using the default skin and clearing the skin cache out in the settings menu? Failing that, uninstall it again (make sure to backup your save game). Once it's uninstalled...manually go to programfiles and make sure there is no Sports Interactive folder. If there is delete it (as stuff is left behind even after a proper full uninstall) I'd also go to my documents and again make sure there is no sports interactive folder. If there is delete it. THEN re-install the game again. This will atleast make sure there is no duplicate files/corrupt duplicates from previous versions. And you'll instantly be on a default skin.

scholes=legend Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Cheers for the reply Goerdie. Can't see how it could be any of my drivers of anything though as i've only had the laptop 3 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scholes=legend Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Could anyone tell me where to find all files that are in FM so i can do a complete re-install? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieG1971 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Just because your laptop is new and you were playing this afternoon...it does not mean you cant possibly have a corrupted gfx file. I'd at least try what i mention above, to make sure you are running a totally clean install of the game. As it may well be skin cache related too. If this doesnt fix it, reinstalling your GFX drivers and direct X is a good place to start...it is a gfx related problem as i say. It's all about the process of elimination eh! And you won't know it until you try. Best of luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieG1971 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Could anyone tell me where to find all files that are in FM so i can do a complete re-install? I just did matey in my above post. The main game will install into your program files directory, into a folder called Sports Interactive. The path will look something like this :- C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive All your user files ..i.e. where your savedgames/replays/facepack etc go in your My Documents folder...it will be a path similar to this :- C:\Users\XXXXXXXXX\My Documents\Sports Interactive Note the XXXXXXX will be your user name.

GeordieG1971 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Cheers mate but i wouldn't have a clue on how to re-install my graphic drivers. Do you know what type of GFX card you have in your computer? Is it a desktop computer or a laptop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scholes=legend Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Sorted Goerdie!!! Did a full re-install, deleted all files to do with FM11 then put the game back on loaded it up and its all back to normal. I'm guessing the problem could of been to these regen hair styles i downloaded a few days ago because i had to put them into the proper FM files.

GeordieG1971 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Nice one mate, it was probably the skin cache then. It had to be either the cache or ya drivers. I did also mention the skin cache in one of my posts. Yeah sounds like it may well have been those hair do's. Dodgie barber mate...stay well clear Glad you got it sorted out mate. Play on!
