Boolock Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi, I have had the game since its release and find my computer unbearable to use when playing the game. It seems to be this 'Steam' thing and it is totally spoiling my enjoyment of the game. The smallest thing in-game, like changing a sub etc, takes forever. Was just wondering, is there a way to just not bother with Steam at all. I have gone into the settings page and asked it not to run whilst playing the game, but i dont want it on my computer at all. If i uninstall the game, will i have to re-activate it with Steam? If not, how do i install the game without the use of Steam? Sorry if i sound dumb, i'm no good with computers and just want to play this bloody game! Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 There are some faq's at the top of the page which should help you to create a shortcut to the game without launching steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 But if you want to uninstall steam completely then you can reinstall FM and activate it with Uniloc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT1874 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I also have a problem with steam. I accidently uninstalled it now I cant run the game at all, there is no sign of the sports interactive folder in the control panel's bit, I was going to uninstall everything then start from scratch but I cant even do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated as Im murder on PC's Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
