Game Not Working

When i first went to install football manager 2011 i done it in offline mode so i wouldnt have to use steam and it installed fine and said everything was successful but then when i went to start the game it kept saying graphics system failed so then i installed it using steam and it worked fine and i was coming up to finishing my 5th season, but the other day there was an update and ever since then everytime i finish playing a game it closes football manger and says there was an error in the crash dump files so now i cant play it offline or online

anyone know what to do??

I'd set Steam back to online and use it to download all the patches.

If that doesn't work do the following;

- Check this out for the graphics system error and follow the advice - http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/233554-Football-Manager-2011-FAQ?p=6066640&viewfull=1#post6066640

- Update DirectX

- Update Java

- Update graphics and soundcard drivers

Let us know how you get on, but I reckon the patch will fix your issue.

the patches dont make a differece and iv already updated directX and java

and it cant be my computer because like i said i was then finishing my 5th season so how come it worked fine then?

iv red a few ways people have fixed it but they dont work for me

Go read the bugs/crashes forum. Loads of people are having the same problem since the update. Me included. Game ran fine till the update and now crashes as soon as i complete a match. Ran fine before. SI are trying to say its peoples PC's but i don't see how its possible if the game worked before hand and so many people are having problems
