stunurse74 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 do u have ridiculously slow broadband speed? think thats my issue but surely shouldn't be that much of an issue as installing from disc?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueowl Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Could it be a firewall problem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it installed off the disc? What's it downloading? I got steam and created an account. Surely getting a disc means no need to download the game?

bboy123 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 There was a small patch added on release. ok. well I just shutdown steam and re-started and then said key failure. But it logged me in and have been able to resume my download of fm2012. Now saying it will take 3 hours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Your pic does say it's installing from disc, so that's not the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim_Less Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 something is blocking steam from working properly disable you antivirus and firewall software to see if its one of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I thought it installed off the disc? What's it downloading? I got steam and created an account. Surely getting a disc means no need to download the game? I seem to recall reading a response from one of the SI guys in another thread saying that only part of the game is on the disk and thats why you have to use steam this year. You also have to download the editor seperately as well I believe. They've done this in an effort to combat piracy and stop shops from selling the game early.

stunurse74 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 i have a download rate of 86kb/s, even though i've activated the game, do i have to continue with the download onto steam?? its only done 200 out of 2500mb in nearly two hours?!

daylight Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Make sure you have your region and your internet connection set properly through Steam settings. --Steam main page>Steam(top left hand corner)>settings>download. If this does not work reset your router and try again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks, my computer is really slow and I usually load it from disc every time to avoid downloading too much. Guess I will give this a miss or buy a bigger computer :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Gonzo Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 buy a bigger computer :-( A better internet connection is much more important in this case. Download speed is not really related to the quality of your computer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
