istrikerx Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Unable to start the game because this appears in a dialogue box every time. On Mac. Any fix for this? Close to just going back to Gamestation to get my money back and then letting them give SI a load of bother. Also, was implementing steam so intrusively really worth it to stop piracy but **** so many genuine players off in the process? It really is abysmal.

Needlenose Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Did you move any of the FM11 Skins to your new Game? That will come up with that error if you did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Sá Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hmm.. I installed through steam and I got those two folders, can you re-install from Steam? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
istrikerx Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hmm.. I installed through steam and I got those two folders, can you re-install from Steam? I've reinstalled 5 times now. 4 times by disc via steam then downloaded it from steam itself and installed, still nothing. All I have is the sports interactive folder in my documents.

Emanuel Sá Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 So i can be of help, do you mind taking a screenshot of your caches folder like this example: http://cl.ly/0f363j1O3L2t0E0q0h1h/Screen_Shot_2011-10-21_at_7.19.03_PM.png To enable the path view on the finder, go to "VIEW" menu on the menubar and "Enable path bar". Then go to the given path and take a screenshot so we check if your file structure is correct. (to take a screenshot press cmd+shift+3 (or 4 to make a selection). - E Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Sá Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Found the problem. You're going directly from your MAC HDD to the Library, it's wrong. Go to the Users folder first, two folders below Library as seen on the screenshot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I found this in the bugs forum which seems to relate "This has happened in the last 2 versions of the game if I remember correctly. I am a bit surprised that it is still causing a problem. It relates to the "skin cache" file called fm2012.skc. You can delete the preferences and cache from the library folder, Steam does write to these foldesr. However they are hidden if you are using OSX Lion - you have to make it show by opening the terminal and typing the following chflags nohidden ~/Library/ This will allow you to see your library and delete the caches. However the simple way around is to disable the "use skin cache" tick box in the preferences panel - this has completely resolved my problem.

Go to the Users folder first, two folders below Library as seen on the screenshot. There is no Library folder in my users folder, thats what I'm saying. My home folder, therefore my users folder, is on my HDD, not the SSD. Everything system related is on the SSD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Sá Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Like Kris said, you need to enable the folder, it's hidden by default chflags nohidden ~/Library/ on terminal.app - E PS - I run SSD + HDD too, so that's not a problem, I think.

Emanuel Sá Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 They did that because some people used to delete that folder, and that's a system folder containing pretty much the core of your application settings and such. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
