Colorado Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Anyone got any idea why I'm getting this?? Had some problems connecting online earlier in the week so had to use the offline mode but can't see how that's caused the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackter Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Try verifying your game cache from the game's properties in the Steam library, then restarting Steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Great gotta go through all this steam stuff now to get to the bottom of it. This is exactly why people have the problem with using steam. I have no idea about any stuff like this and just want to play a game which I purchased legally. Exit Steam and delete everything under the Steam installation directory except Steam.exe, the ClientRegistryOld.blob, and the \SteamApps folder - this will force Steam to update when you log in Anyone know what exactly the Steam installation directory is? I don't to delete the wrong folder.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 For anyone with the same problem - I found this via google - After Right Clicking on the game title under the Games list, then go to Properties, then to the 'Local Files' tab, and choose to 'Verify the integrity of game cache'.

GuitarMan Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Quad, it genuinely is a small number of users, if it was widespread there would be a much larger proportion of Bug threads around both this and the steam forum, however there are not and it is a minority of users. I will politely ask you to stop trolling steam threads (as looking at your posting history you haven't posted a lot else). thankyou. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiitastic Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I would safelt say it would be a 5% of the FM12 players if that that was having this problem, almost confident in going as low as 3-4% actually. They are certainly in the manority, but a manority who would get smaller if they followed the help ideas instead of having a sook and giving up before even trying to fix it.

Blackops7 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 So how do you fix the issue when the below happens you click on steam - this then says steam is unavailable. You then get the option to launch this in offline mode. When you click on this you then get an error message saying there is a problem with your internet connection so steam cant launch. There isnt a problem with my internet connection and what should that matter because I am trying to launch it in offline mode, i thought the whole point of offline mode is that you didnt need an internet connection. its starting to get beyond a joke.

How on earth can you make such confident estimates at the number of people it is effecting? Judging by the number of posts on here (even after they get deleted or locked by the mods) there is quite a large number of people with problems.

Chris Ritchie Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 An unnecessary third party application is denying legitimate customers access to the game they purchased. It's really not on and I'm glad I've stuck with FM11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
