I would like my money back please? "football manager already running"


Recommended Posts

Hi

I would like my money back please, i have paid good money for this and because of this daft steam thing i can't get football manager working

The same thing happend with the demo, i saw some other posts by fellow players with same problem, tried all the solutions mentioned, couldn;t get it work, thought it would be sorted for the main game, but i was wrong, their probably is some longwinded way of getting round this but should i really have to? i would prefer not to waste the time doing so, there is nothing wrong with my computer and its fit the requirements. I can't get a refund from the supplier as ive already opened the game so would like a refund please?

nobody could work it out for the other poster who had the same problems with the demo, he just gave up in the end, i already have, ive played football manager since the first ever one (when it was champ man and didn't have real players) and this is the only time i have ever had problems playing it, perhaps you should think about using other activation methods other than steam

don't tell me calm down, i was just being sarcastic

and no im not using a netbook and yet i tried everything in the FAQ , i don't know what dixdiag is sorry, and why should i need to

If you go to the run bar in your start menu and type dxdiag it will give an output of your system specs. If you provide them then you'll be able to get better help :)

frankly speaking.. as a pc owner. you should expect issues cropping up occasionally... especially with brand new products like fm12...

pc's by definition and nature are boxes of random bits from random companies ... each and every pc is different, not like xbox's etc. and its next to impossible to anticipate every single configuration of pc and get perfect compatibility for them 100% ... with a minor tweak after some co-operation and patience with the SI people. im extremely confident you'll get the game working perfectly OP...

You shouldn't have to do that. If you can find out what Graphics Card you have (should be provided as part of any information you got when you bought the laptop) you just need to go to the company who made it's website and download the latest drivers. :)

click 'device adapter' ... right click what you have there and press update driver.... auto search ..

Or this.. sounds a lot easier :)

You've got no Graphics Card Driver installed which is why it won't run. Do you know what type of Graphics Card you have?

It says there he's got Nvdia chip for his display. If he had no graphics driver he probably wouldn't see anything on screen, most likely he has the Windows generic drivers.

These http://uk.geforce.com/drivers/results/9014 are the same version drivers as welshace posted above but these are not BETA versions. These are full release. I don't know if they will make a difference but it's worth a try.

If they don't work you might try the Sony Vaio auto update application http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/downloads/info/info.aspx?l=en_IE&url=VAIO/Updates/EP0000221850.exe&m=VGN-FE41E&ip=EP0000221850.htm. Sometimes manufacturers release their own driver sets for laptops.

I hope you get it sorted out mate. Good luck.

  • 4 weeks later...

I think this may be the same problem I am having under the same circumstances with the same laptop.

Since FM 2009 I have not touched another version of this game, despite being a very experienced user in the past and a longstanding member of this community in the past, the experience I had with Steam turned me off the product for the last two versions. Ever fibre of my being told me not to buy this game, after waiting nearly a week after buying 2009 before I could get it to work, but I did it anyway. Now here I am once again, trawling the internet desperately trying to find a fix to get this game working.

I''ll update you all on my progress.

*Sigh*

P.S

One of the fixed was to try uninstalling Steam and reinstalling it. I did not realise that doing this would mean I had to re download FM2012 from Steam, which takes over an hour. I may be wrong, but its difficult manouvering around this new Windows 7 operating system. Can somebody clarify this?

If you did it already - can you give us the results of a DXDiag so we can see if there are any obvious problems? You can find instructions for that here:

Im positive its a driver problem. This VGA driver on my Sony Vaio has a date of 2009, but no matter which driver i try to install, even ones matching the name and product of my laptop and graphics card it says the driver is not compatible.

**EDIT** Dammnit its because the driver is 64 bit only and im running Windows 7 on 32 bit. This is a minefield!!

Well - one way of cheating that, sometimes, is a good old-fashioned windows update... have you tried that?

I stopped my windows update as it was interfering with my FM2012 dowload. Lol. Updating windows now. I'd like to be clear though. I dont get the "Error: FM2012 is already running" the first time I click it. The first time you get an hourglass, then nothing, its sat there in processes, although not in applications on task manager. This leads my limited knowledge to say that in some way shape or form, it is a graphics problem. I only get the "FM2012 is already running, once ive tried it again, which it is really, in processes on task manager.

I had the same problem using xp. My graphics drivers were up to date but I previously disabled directdraw/direct3d in dxdiag as they were

causing an error in an older game I was playing. As soon as they were enabled again fm ran fine (and has ever since, no probs with

steam at all).I don't use win 7 so I don't know if the functionality of dxdiag is similar for that o/s

Sega Europe dont seem to open until tomorrow morning so I'll call them then. In the meantime I'll post my dxdiag report incase anyone can offer any further help;

Yes, after taking an hour or so looking into it, there seems to be a definate problem with Sony Vaio laptops detecting their graphics cards. Not only that, NVIDIA drivers dont seem to always work on NVIDIA cards on Vaio laptops. You are urged to download the driver direct from Sony, however, these drivers are not as advanced as NVIDIA's own and it means you may not have the full capability of the card. The only fix I can get is uninstalling the drivers and using driversweep to get the new driver installed as the laptop will not recognise the driver that right for your card.

The more official answer unfortunately is "Sony and NVIDIA are working on a fix for this together."

Im willing to bet, that if I change my OS from 32 bit to 64 bit, I can get the game running as Sony do offer a 64 bit driver for these laptops that recognise the actual graphics card. Though one of the techs might be able to confirm this?!?!?

I would fathom a guess that anyone having a similar problem to me, and on a laptop, will probably be down to the same thing. I dont think its a problem with Steam or FM 2012. (Although, I must say, to need a graphics card for essentially a database game like FM is ludicrous, The 3d match engine should be an optional add on, for people with lower end PC's to play with no problems.)

Did this issue ever get resolved because I'm having the same problems and it doesn't seem as if a fix has ever been found?

I've got a Dell Vostro 3500 and specs seem fine, FM2011 was fine but 2012 isn't working at all.

Please don't suggest all the previous ******** suggestions like - ctrl, alt + dlt and stop process - I want a proper answer!

Create your own thread in the Bugs Forum under Technical Issues and Crashes and we'll look into it. I suggest posting your dxdiag (details in the FAQ) and we'll hopefully be able to advise further. Thanks.
