Andrew Lane Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Just got Football manager and I installed it with no problems on my mac. when I tried to load it up, the screen went black for about 10 seconds, then went grey, then stopped. How do I make it work? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarties have the answer Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Are you using an Intel Mac? - Won't work if not Are you running 10.5? I think this is the minimum (although I think a patch made it work with 10.4.11 or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hb-ciri Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 you probably don't have the rite graphics card, im on a macbook 2.4 ghz and it kinda stutters with the 3d match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Did you download and install patch 9.2? Others reported that the game does run on PPC with OSX Leopard, even if it is not "officially" supported. Which is crap, as the game is sold with the mac universal logo.

KUBI Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Got to preferences and change the match view from 3D to 2D classic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
