Carbs Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 grrrrrrr! I'm staring at "connecting to Steam account..." (well I was til I came on here!) for the third time. The game just won't start. No problems logging onto my Steam account on t'internet. Haven't done anything to the computer since yesterday morning and now no game. Can't even find out if there is an update downloading like there was last time I had this problem. This Steam business is really peeing me off big time. Won't bother with FM in future if I have to run through Steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbs Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just had to dig the disk out and try for a fourth time and finally got it to work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The disk wont affect Steam working, i would say that's completely coincidental, but at least you got it working Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM_player Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Mine is running nice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomit Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So why do you feel it is neccessary to go online with Steam each time you want to start up FM? It isn't. Put Steam in offline mode - problem solved. Mine is never online, unless when I know there is an update ready for downloading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So why do you feel it is neccessary to go online with Steam each time you want to start up FM? I always start steam, usually to chat to my friends through the Friends list while I am playing or if I fancy a different game other than FM after a bit.

thomit Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The point was; It is not necessary to have Steam online in order to be able to play FM. If you can't get connected to Steam, your complaint (or rather, the OP's) should be directed at the Steam people, not SI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbs Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 I didn't know you could run the game in Steam offline. That would be handy. Is that only with the disk in? I think it may have been a Steam 'hanging' issue. But it's solved...for now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 nah you dont need the disk at all after install, just set steam to offline mode and your good to go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbs Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 I've been running it without the disk but I've always been online to start it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
