jayahr Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'm sure I have read it on here but did a search and could not find it anymore. Could someone please explain or provide a link about how I can play the game without having to run Steam first after activating my DVD copy via Steam? Thanks a lot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matskulainen Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Go to: My Coputer ------> The drive that has your Program Files (usually C) ------> Program Files ------> Steam ------> steamapps ------> common ------> Football Manager 2009 There you should see the shortcut called "fm" (it's picture has a blue background with 09 in the front with orange. ----->Move the icon to your desktop (it should now be fm.exe) And there you go. Now you should be able to start the game just by opening the shortcut from you're desktop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayahr Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Cheers Just to make sure, this is for the DVD copy that was just registered with Steam and not for digital download? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matskulainen Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I think it works with both. SInce after activating the game it will create all the FM-files needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serdar Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 this seems to work for me. Thanks for the hint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robzilla Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Cheers Just to make sure, this is for the DVD copy that was just registered with Steam and not for digital download? It will work, but fm.exe will be in a different folder (Not Steam\steamapps\common...) Also just to clarify, you need to right-click and drag the fm.exe icon to your desktop and choose "Create Shortcut here", don't copy (or move) the actual exe file from the game folder to the dekstop.
