takts Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hello guys I own a quite old Macbook, which runs under OS Tiger and has the following specs; 2ghz processor 1gb ram Intel GMA 950 (graphics) When I tried the demo I was never able to get into a match, the only message I got was "Loading game..." This has hold me back from actually buying the game, thinking my computer wasn't strong enough to handle the game. I've considered downloading the full game just to try and run it and then buy it if it was successful but I still don't want to be a part of piracy. What you reckon I should do?

jod123 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The last part of what you said could get you banned so was not a great idea saying that. Did you try the demo with the demo patch installed on it rather than just the original demo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I would have preferred you not saying that last bit. Try the demo with patch like jod said, or use this site to check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I don't see what is wrong with the last bit in my opinion. He isn't pirating anything. Download the demo patch mate, that will tell you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
takts Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 There is a patch for the demo? Nice! Where can I find this download? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 You see the very top of the screen? There is a link to the Demo Update. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevicus Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 he hasnt really done anything wrong, he admits thinking about it, but hasnt done it. your not guilty of a crime unless you commit it, and i understand where he is coming from, its not nice buying games that wont work on your computers, i should know, i have a shelf full of them lol about 200 quid down the drain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 It was still not a good idea saying it though. A mod could see that a different way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevicus Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 It was still not a good idea saying it though.

taktsxx Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 It won't even start up with the patch, I get to where the manager is holding the ball and the background is blue, but now accessable menus or nothing, if i make the window smaller I can quit without reebooting and the game ask me to confirm to quit. A shame, no FM2009 for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saulty2805 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Haha, mod jod, got a certain ring to it, don't you think. I'd have to agree though, the last part of the op was abit silly to post. I don't think any other advice except going on the demo or using the site, which can tell if you are able to play the game. Is there no chance of you renewing your computer? Good luck hope it works for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevicus Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Im saying you have the ability to write full sentences and capitalize but when it was on the line you failed to do so. Well i can write full sentences as I will do in this post. Im not a particularly fast typer, and im prone to mistakes anyway. When i first joined i went into the lower league managers section and posted some of my opinions. A majority of people mocked my post and it wasnt very nice. So i havnt been back there since, and i noticed that most people were more lenient on spelling mistakes and forgotten full stops in the general discussion section.

rancer890 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 And i've never posted in there, but i believe Dafuge and Nep are like, "gods" within that forum?? Yup. Dafuge's challenge is like the 'Challenge' that most CSE-ers go to. Nep is one of the most useful and respected posters in CSE (and I suppose in other forums like GD too), and has his own little challenges, the Youth Player thread. Both have won many CSE awards, and I don't think they have any room to fill their trophy cabinet, while I've only been mentioned as a 'User of the Future'.

saulty2805 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Yee, Nep is v.useful, have spoke to him on a number of occasions, as for Dafuge, i haven't really had much, interaction with him, but from what i've seen, hes an alright bloke. And its better to be nominated for "user of the future", than to not be recognised at all. edit: stevie, are you from l'pool then? and i don't know why but i love cheltenham's stadium only been twice but were both enjoyable, i got to do crossbar challenge at half time, good fun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
