Steam

It has taken me three weeks to install Football Manager due to multiple issues with Steam and now that I have finally managed to install and run the game I discover that, to add insult to injury, I get advertising via the steam platform. I didn't pay 30 quid to have Steam advertise on my PC. That's not the deal guys...I will NOT be buying FM and will be taking the game back to the shop for a refund.

Need help ...

I played FM2012 ...

Recently I changed my notebook.

No problem I downloaded the game via Steam again ..

I played a few days ...

And now it's giving the following message and hangs ..

"Not well-formed (Invalid token) at line 1 v1-views-of-tactic-oposition views.xml"

Can anyone help?

what advertising?! ... can only assume you mean the 'store' tab that pops up? which you can switch off?

go to steam settings and go to the interface tab and untick the notify me setting and change your favorite window to library and restart steam
