denno08 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 What a big bag of cack this is. The whole setup of this game is a disgrace! Could someone please tell me why, after playing this game for the past days has Steam asked for my activation code all over again when i have just tried to launch the game. I was confused by this, but entered the code again anyway... guess what i got.. "sorry we cannot connect to the internet" Launch night was a pitiful joke, this follow up is a complete and utter shambles. I feel like snapping the disc!

denno08 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Just spoke to my mate and asked him to try and lauch his game. He got exactly the same problem! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treble_yell_:-) Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 you know if you have a boxed copy you dont need steam period, and even if you do you can set it to launch offline and need never worry about this ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
denno08 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Please tell me more mate. I've checked the folder in program files for a start up shortcut but there is nothing. Share the wealth.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 you know if you have a boxed copy you dont need steam period, and even if you do you can set it to launch offline and need never worry about this ? I have the boxed version and can confirm you definitely do not need steam. I authenticated using uniloc and because I had an easy code (no 0 or 1 or o or i) the process was easy.

Tranmeremad Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I can only play the game via Steam (launching it offline though), if I copy the FM09 exe file to desktop and click that then my computer freezes and then the screen goes kind of a washed out black colour (can see desktop through it though) and it freezes again and stays like that?! Updated drivers, direct X etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

masteratt Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I've been using Steam since 2004 with many games and even apps, I've never had a problem with it so please refrain from bad mouthing Steam just because you don't know how to use the basics.
