rikkusarah Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi Guys, Thankyou for your support and patience with the FM09 release. Thanks to feedback about the speed of the forums we will be bringing down the forums for 20 minutes so we can fix the problems and make sure you can get on here easily:) We appreciate that this is frustrating but this is going to make things much better for you. Again thanks for your support and patience. Sarah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djwilko6 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 How about fixing the game or something? There is nothing wrong with the game, its the authenticating, not under SI's direct control as I understand it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundalkstephen Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 What a massive cover up here , by closing the forums. Your basically hiding your heads in the sand. Well done i feel great now and my loyalty sure is been rewarded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rb Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 How about fixing the game or something? The game isn't broken. The authentication issues are something else entriely (And should be fixed soon) The forums are slow. Thus they're fixing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suttface Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Grow up whingers and read the threads. There is not a fault with the game, it is the servers. Get your facts right before bad-mouthing the innocent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daylight Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I dont like to complain or whine but I think it is a very bad idea to be closing the forums for any amount of time with the problems that are going on with the activation,it almost feels like you are just hiding here or it is a coffee break,very bad timming.

AdamC Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Get your f*cking priorities right, SI. Pratting about updating the forums?

rikkusarah Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi Guys, Apologies for the forums going down, let me assure it wasn't 'a massive cover up#.

taxi4deuchar Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 fcuk the forums! fix the game! SI, why choose SEGA? Let the make arcade games?! They can't do anything right! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss_1873_Rfc Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thanks Sarah for that... Does anyone have any idea at all though when this/ or can this be resolved?

They can't do anything right! taxi4deuchar: does the "3D mode" seem anything BUT a 90's arcade game? I guess it's about 'corporate identity' - if SI work with Sega, then their products should look like Sega's. Sarah, are your servers a bit overwhelmed by the amount of people complaining?

Glyn Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I don't mean to be negative, but these problems surely must have been forseen... This is the first game release using the new messageboard provider. Whilst the increase in volume of traffic can be forseen as it happens every year, I don't think it's fair to say that the problems could have been as it relies on the third party provider.

Vegejor01 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Wow this is a really nice cover up. Now we can't even be mad? I have alot of respect for SI, well had is the correct word, but this is unbelievable. What the hell is wrong with you people? What did you expect? Everyone would just sign in on a different time out of courtasy? Well anyway you can expect to hear from me soon. I am intending to hire a lawyer and sue for your ass. On the box nothing says something about an internet connection. I don't have internet availeble and this is is just misinformation. I looked it up and this is breaking a federal law. Have fun with your game I will be coming after your money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cullen89 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Glyn how about you get your priorities right mate!

DJ Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I don't know what's better with every new version, the game or the toys-out-of-the-pram-throwing in this forum at launch time. Great entertainment, keep it up I bought with gameplay, so it'll be another few days before I get the game. I bet all problems will be solved by then and you 'I wanna be the first on the block to own the game' snobs and I will start playing at the same time, woohoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mikeytwigge Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 stop having a go at glyn he's done nothing wrong unlike many of the people who only visit the forums to complain. During the majority of the year these forums are a nice place to be but around release date arogant twats come on and start kicking off. If you actually play the game there is nothing wrong with it, there are some activation problems but they are being looked into and im sure SI/Sega and all the other people involved are doing there best. So how about people start making nice posts on these forums for once Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

treesome Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 i think they have been pretty civil considering ppl feel cheated. guys who make and play pirate copies of the game must be having a laugh, is this the way to fight them off??? by treating ppl who pay ur salaries like this??? this activation thing stinks bigtime, someone must be laughing and getting richer while we sit here... i payed good money for the game, today, and i cant play it till next week??? u might aswell tell ppl to wait for some cracked version of it.

Corcaigh35 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Can i ask one question, the answer to which will hopefully allow me to go away and try again later? If having installed on Steam, activated the key on Steam, updated on Steam, then launching on steam.................is it the case that the SoftAnchor screen will still pop up to reactivate the code before you can play the game for the first time cos that is what is happening to me? If answer = yes, I will go away safe in the knowledge that at some point the servers will be available If answer = no, what in the name of all that's good and holy do I do now?

lecleir Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 i'm almost 27 years, and have been buying cm and fm since it came out. i'm one of the longest playing fans of your game. never have i did any piracythings to get it for free. always bought it, so i have the right to come here and make myself angry... How on earth can it be that thousands of players get punished, while there are already working torrents of your game? Solve it and fast!!!!!!!!!!!!
