sean_lufc Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 When I tried to install the demo on my desktop It would not let me as I have no internet connection on it so could not install the dirext x thing. I managed to install It onmy laptop but playing FM long term on it is not a possibility. Now will I be able to play the full game if i buy it as i dont have direct x on my desktop or was that just for the demo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpico Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 You will need to install direct x for the game to run, although it may be included on the FM disc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bell Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 You can download on a internet enabled machine and burn it to CD and install it prior to the demo install. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean_lufc Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Im sure it required an internet connection to install direct x on the demo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerjnick Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 It may have if it was a web installer but you can download the network distributable DirectX package. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Im sure it required an internet connection to install direct x on the demo It does, but the link I rpovided is a separate download of DirectX, which you can download now and then install later. Then when you install the demo, it will realise that you already have DirectX and there will be no need for a net connection to finish the FM installation.

bell Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Basically you already have DX, but for the demo it uinstalled a recently released version. Click that link and memory stick it onto your desktop, install it, then install the demo. Then come back when the damn 3D wont work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
