SiJa2090 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Steam doesn't seem to want to load FM 2012 in both online and offline mode. Wish I hadn't bought the game via the Steam route, seems to have been a waste of my time, again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I go to load up the game and there is just the "preparing to launch football manager" screen and then does nothing. Are you clicking the FM12 desktop icon or trying to boot it from within Steam? and does Steam boot okay if you try it separately? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theking1 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 O.k fixed mine by uninstalling then re-installing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJa2090 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 After going through all FAQ's and everything Steam is still not loading FM. So decided to uninstall and re install, but now Steam is not even uninstalling it. You click the button and it says uninstalling but it doesn't. Help.

trashman69 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 My steam says there is an update, goes away and thinks for an hour .... try to quit and it say 'quit FM 2012' which of course is not running ... force quit and then reboot ... I have done this 3 times now and nothing but nothing is happening. I would like to ask SI to refund my money because good old 'Game' will not. I have played FM since it was text and finally you have achieved what my wife, friends and kids could not do ... you have made me never want to play this game again, all because of steam. Its garbage and you should be ashamed of yourselves for releasing an expensive game without proper testing ... little hint get rid of steam and deny you ever heard of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
