Canuck87 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I installed FM08 on my comp this evening. bought it directly from the net. Anyway now when i click on it, it loads up normally until it reaches the main menu. The problem is it doesn't show the main menu, at all! it's just one big blank screen. NEED HELP Please!

Nomis07 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Is it the 8.0.2 version of the game i.e. is it patched up to the latest version. There were a lot of people who mentioned this problem pre patch, but not so many since then so that might sort it out. If not try the data issues/bugs forums and do a search.

Ryan,,, Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Or else you should send it back and get a full refund. I bought a game off the internet that didn't work once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck87 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 I've patched it up to the latest version and the proper display in on now! but now it says there is no CD in the drive. Since i bought it online there is no CD obviously. how do i get around this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
canvey!! Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 No, don't do that. It's illegal. Try clearing the cache- For Vista: 1- In a window, go to 'Organize'->'Folder and Search Options'->'View'-> and select 'Show hidden files and folders'. 2- Now browse to C:\Users\<username>\App Data\Roaming and delete the 'Sports Interactive' folder. For XP: 1- Make sure you are able to see hidden folders: When in a window, go to 'Tools'->'Folder Options'->'View'-> and make sure 'Show hidden files and folders' is selected. 2- Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data and delete the 'Sports Interactive' folder.

Canuck87 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Whoknows714 you should try updating to the 8.0.2 version of the game as Nomis suggested above, it worked for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
