kolvuk Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 i know this has probably been asked but i haven't seen it but will it be possible to use the game on a computer with a poor graphics card after patching? and can the game be used on more than one computer after its been activated on one?

ahmufcwafc Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 There will be a compatibility patch for those who have a poor graphics card & can't start up the game. You can have the game activated on five different computers at the same time. If you uninstall one game, you get one activation licence back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 If you have a below spec graphics card then I think you'll struggle even if you do install the patch. If you plan to play the game on more than one computer i'm pretty sure you will need 2 disks and both will have to be authenticated unless your using a mac which doesn't need authenticated.

If you plan to play the game on more than one computer i'm pretty sure you will need 2 disks and both will have to be authenticated unless your using a mac which doesn't need authenticated. Are you sure? What about the 5 seat rule for the PC version of FM09? This means that you will get 5 licenses for personal use, so you can play the game on up to 5 computers as long as you own them, and the owner of the game is the person playing on said machines. If you uninstall the game on one of the PC's you have the game installed on, you get that "seat" back.As an example, say you have installed the machine on your work laptop, your work PC, your home PC and your home laptop. You would then have used up 4 out of your 5 uses of the game. Your home desktop has some problems, so you decide to re-install windows on it. As long as you uninstall the game from that machine first, you will get that license back, and when you re-install, will still only be using 4 of your 5 installs.

kolvuk Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 cheers guys "If you have a below spec graphics card then I think you'll struggle even if you do install the patch." so the graphics card requirements won't change with the patch? doesn't that defeat the point of the patch?

stevie_G_32201 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 the point of the patch is to fix the bugs during the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt ex SEGA Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I believe the patch will address some compatibility issues that have been highlighted since the demo launch. Specifically what, I'm afraid I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically what, I'm afraid I don't know. oh right ok. thought i read somewhere that it would be making the 3d patch an option when installing so the graphics card wouldn't need to be as good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 is the patch going to defo be released on friday? Yes, most likely The patch will be released once it has been verified by our QA team. I'm not expecting this to happen til Friday morning, but if it happens earlier, then it will be released earlier.
