James_W Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I got FM in the summer for cheap and I've been playing it unpatched, but today I have decided to download the patch. I found a news article from valentines day on the sigames min website saying how it had been released and it gave a link to click. When I clicked it, it came up with a big fat error. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 didnt he already say that link didnt work? I thought he meant the link from another website to the patch did not work. Anyway, no problem James. Stevie_G, you posted before me but my post was better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_W Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Aww poosticks. It's downloaded and went into my 'local settings/temp' folder. How the hell do I install it? I didn't think I sucked this much at computers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_G_32201 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 did you click save as? or just run? have you tried copying it from that folder to a different one or your desktop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Aww poosticks. It's downloaded and went into my 'local settings/temp' folder. How the hell do I install it? I didn't think I sucked this much at computers. 1. First of all make sure you have downloaded the right patch for your game. 2. Download WinRar from here if you don't already have it and install it. 3. Right click on the patch and choose extract here. 4. Double click on the extracted patch. 5. A window should appear and click the update button. 6. When done click finished. The game should now be patched but make sure you don't have the game running when you are patching it. Hope that helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
