aliatam Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 This is the first time i haven't bought FM on the release date.. I wanted to read the comments, mainly about Steam.. I am really disappointed with the fact that i will need a third party program to play my game.. Plus - i am really not perfect with system files etc.. so i am worried that i will be having problems if i buy the game. Can you please tell me how easy / difficult it is to actually do these procedures if i buy the boxed version? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancy Gaffot Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 You download Steam, register an account, then either install the game from your DVD or enter its CD key to Steam and it will download it for you. I've been using Steam for 6 years, it's not difficult Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It is extremely easy if you have a decent internet connection I would advise you buy the game off steam and download it rather than getting the game from a store. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliatam Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks Acidburn, the boxed version is 39.99 in the store here and at steam it's 49.99 , so i wanted to go for the boxed one.. You advise to download from Steam because it's easier to set it up or ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigfacemonkeyman Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I would advise reading comments in other threads as it has proved to be less easy than projected by some forum members. There are many, here's one that contains problems encountered by players; http://community.sigames.com/forumdisplay.php/248-Technical-Issues-and-Crashes and one with solutions to many of those problems and some guidance; http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/279162-Football-Manager-2012-*OFFICIAL*-FAQ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantralux Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I've been using Steam for 6 years, it's not difficult ...until you have problems with it. Then it's not that easy anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
