Im becoming quite fed up with with this and soon ill have no other option other than to download the game at this rate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Its a known issue. What you could try is download the game from Steam & use the keycode on the back of your manual to activate your copy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanio Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 i will try this and see what happens! oh how i miss the days when you bought the latest champ man and it just worked care free! think im just going to give up and torrent this. ive never known a game have so many problems. do the people who make it have grade C GCSEs in IT or something?

Hazzydeepy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 What do you mean you are going to 'torrent this'? Anyway I had this problem with FM 07 - I know it sounds rather simple but if you go to my computer and right click on DVD drive (which FM 09 should be there) select explore and then select installation application or something like that. This worked for me for 07 - I havent got a clue whether this will help you in 09 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepwalkingpolarbear Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Do you even have a dvd drive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanio Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 yes i have a dvd drive. fm08 wrks perfectly fine on my computer but fm09 just nothing happens. by "torrent this" i meant just give up and download the game from a torrent website, which technically i can do guilt free as i have paid £27.99 for the game lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazzydeepy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 It's rather foolish to talk about downloading a game for free on official forums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 It's rather foolish to talk about downloading a game for free on official forums. Indeed it is. Even if you have bought the game, its still technically illegal to download a pirated copy, correct? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzydeepy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Of course it is - but then again I wouldnt know about these things - I buy the games properly from shops every year and I think piracy is wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cris182 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 for the record fm08 working is no guide here because fm09 is a DVD where as fm08 was CDROM be sure you hav DVD drive on your pc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
