Hey there, please verify the game cache from within Steam, which should hopefully solve this problem for you. It sounds like it hasn't downloaded completely.

Did you do so via disk, or have you only done so via Steam? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
burleigh2010 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 got the game via steam, havent got a disk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Dejyothin Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 got the game via steam, havent got a disk Hmm, okay. To be sure you're starting from scratch, you can right-click on FM 2012 from the library within Steam and select "Delete local content", then restart Steam and try downloading it again. For whatever reason, it's possibly not downloaded all of the files or installed them properly. Also if you right-click on FM 2012, select "Properties" and then select the "Local Files" tab, what does it say for "Disk usage"? And actually do this first, before deleting the files.

Apologies if you knew that but I just wanted to check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
