fm doesn't work with snow leopard?

I just bought a new mac which of course has snow leopard as the most updated operating system But my fm game wont even load onto the computer. It installs but when I try to open the game it won't open.

I took computer and game to apple store and they told me because the game is over six months old it may not be compatible with the new operting system.

This means I can't play the current fm game! I am very upset about that. Has anyone else had this problem and does it mean I have to wait for fm2011 to play again!

Need advice/help/answers please!

works fine for me on snow leopard.

I can only advise on the CD version (Dno about steam or whatever)

Are you familiar with macs? When you insert the cd does it show up under 'devices' in finder. you should be able to install it from there.

I can install it but when I click on the icon it starts and then closes.

FM plays fine under snow leopard, I have a 3 month old iMAC, patched to the latest OS update (yesterday I think ). Have you repaired permissions ?

You require to install the Mac 10.3 patch

permissions hasnt worked and I cant update because I can't even open the application for the game.

You don't need to open the game, you just need to download the patch and then run the file to install it. Make sure you get the right patch though. If you have the DVD version use the button labelled 'Download Patch 10.3.0 (Mac)'. If you have the digital download version from eSellerate, use the button below that.
