adzsim Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I still have to wait for steam to download the full game, surely that's what the disk has on it? very confused why we've been sold a disk which doesn't have any purpose to it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Furia Roja Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 you install the game via the disc. Did you put the code straight into steam or when you were prompted after putting the disc in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adzsim Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 I put the disk in, pressed install, got asked to open steam and then it asked me for the code and it's taking forever to download Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Furia Roja Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 doesnt sound right. I got asked to enter code, i entered it and it took about 3 minutes to install? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mije1983 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 When you have entered the key from the manual during installation, you are able to download the game from Steam or install from the disc. Are you sure it isn't the last few files that are downloading which are needed to unlock the game. I think the total size was about 280MB or somethin like that.

Kingdave21 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 It wont even let me create an account, says servers are down, what happened to buying a game, putting it in the computer and playing it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robzilla Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 what happened to buying a game, putting it in the computer and playing it? Software piracy (theft) put an end to all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_G_32201 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Mine was done within 3 minutes of putting the disc in the tray, you have clearly done something wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard76 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Software piracy (theft) put an end to all that. It didn't. That's what I did with Arkham City last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I put the disk in, pressed install, got asked to open steam and then it asked me for the code and it's taking forever to download I made the same mistake when testing Steam, I managed to request a download copy of FM10 by mistake. I think the problem is that Steam does try to encourage the download option (not sure why) & by not reading precisely what I was clicking I ended up by-passing the disc install, when I tried again with FM09 I made sure that Steam was already running when I loaded the disc & I was presented with a different set of option to install via the disc. A rather unintuitive system, having to make sure that Steam is running before install to be given the option of doing so of the disc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyzer Soze Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 You must follow the instructions on this thread: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/279162-Football-Manager-2012-*OFFICIAL*-FAQ?p=7184711&viewfull=1#post7184711 if you do things right, then you will install the game from the disk. If you dont follow the instructions, then despite having the disk, you will download the game via Steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I have just started to download and install via steam accidentally can I just uninstall and follow those instructions to install to my computer properly??
