Tackle Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 There are two versions of the game, one for pc and one for mac as far as i know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccarey99 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Mine works on both but it's the US version (Worldwide Soccer Manager), so maybe it's different, but I don't think that's the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannonball Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 So if you buy the game, and if it says "games for windows" but it has the mac and universal sign on it, it supports mac doesn't it?? I can't install it on my mac but it works perfectly on my pc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kreman Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Yep to my knowledge If it is the UK version of the game (or maybe every other version as well, I am not sure) the one disc contains both the PC and Mac version. I use a Macbook and didnt have any problem installing it. Unfortunately I am not a computer whizkid and cannot suggest anything to rectify the situation. But I can assure you that the Mac version is on the disc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1Kopites Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 It is 100% the same disc for both windows and mac, sorry for your bad luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannonball Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Yep to my knowledge[/quoteBut what happens if the disc says "game for windows" with mac and universal icons under it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tackle Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'm not sure but when i bought the game i thought there were two different boxes on display, one for pc and one for mac (i'm from ireland btw) but it could all be a figment of my imagination!!!

Nomis07 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 It's for PC and Mac on the one disk, the only difference you get in disks is for continent i.e. WSM for America and FM for Europe, ask in the technical issues forum they should know more about this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigy18181 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 just flatten your OS and rebuild your whole MAC to rule out an OS issue . Or just find another MAC to rule out the Disk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
