makaveli3698 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Iv'e downloaded it without any problems, but when i click on 'play game' nothing is happening. The Fm 2012 icon only appears briefly at the bottom of my screen, and then disappears again. Any thoughts as to what has gone wrong? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

makaveli3698 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Cheers mate, but still no luck. Strange, iv'e never had any problems with previous FM demos on Steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Verify cache? just in case something went missing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
makaveli3698 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Verify cache? just in case something went missing. Just tried that now, still not working unfortunately. When i click on play game a message comes up stating 'do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer' with the file origin being 'hard drive on this computer.' I click on allow but the game doesnt start up. A problem with my hard drive maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind_nr1 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I, too, have the same problem. Downloaded the demo, launching it caused the crash error. Verified the game-files and tried again. Crash error. I deleted the FM.exe from the appropriate folder, verified the files, defragmented the cache files. Crash error. I deleted the game, reinstalled. Got crash error. I fully deleted the game + steam, reinstalled both things and STILL got the crash error. I have tried every imaginable combination of compatability, running as administrator and so on, to no avail. Tried with my anti-virus and firewall completely turned off too. Still no success. Does anyone have any kind of idea as to what it could be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Warren Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Do you guys have BitDefender installed? If so, please try these steps; http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/276641-Football-Manager-2012-Demo-FAQ-Technical-and-STEAM-Issues?p=7136929&viewfull=1#post7136929 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wind_nr1 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Actually I do have Bitdefender. I've added both the FM.exe and the whole steam folder to the exclusions list, but still no luck. Thanks for the quick help though. Are the any other information I can supply with that would help the problemsolving? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Warren Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Could you just double check the exclusion you've set-up in BitDefender please, the steps in the link I gave were ever so slightly wrong (updated now). Navigate to Antivirus -> Advanced Settings -> Exclusions and add the FM.exe there. The FM.exe can be found at C: Program Files -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> football manager 2012 demo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick134 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I have the same problem, checked everything, don't have BitDefender... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagull84 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 just posted this on another thread.... sounds similar to a problem I had (and still do really) try opening the game through STEAM - i.e go into the main STEAM interface go to game library FM2012 demo then click play. My game crashes to desktop before it gets to the menu if i try and open it through the desktop shortcut or C: program files> steam> apps >common >fm.exe anything other than STEAM - worth a try...
