Have shut steam down and tryed to load football manager again but get the same error message! See this is why people dont want to use steam! I have paid for the game (£29.99) and want to play it now. I dont get alot of time off to actually play the game so would like this problem sorted NOW! Put simply you are taking the p"£s!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 27, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 27, 2011 If you're 100% certain the game has finished downloading the update, restart Steam and try loading the game. If this still has not worked I'd suggest verifying your cache as shown here - http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/279162-Football-Manager-2012-*OFFICIAL*-FAQ?p=7184719&viewfull=1#post7184719 However do not do this if the game is currently in the middle of updating.

UPNATEM Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 mine still hasn't downloaded the update and is showing no signs of doing so.. should it be displayed when I click on downloadable content? game is still unavailable too tried restarting my laptop and steam and still no joy!

marcysaint Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Put simply for you Neil, i am not a computer person! I don't want to have to faff around following your instructions before i can play a game that i have already purchased! I simply want to buy the game and guess what....... PLAY it! If i try your suggestions and it causes any problems to my game i expect a FULL REFUND. This is simply unacceptable Neil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 27, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 27, 2011 Verifying the cache is a very simple process marcysaint, just follow the instructions here if you're certain your game has finished updating - http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/279162-Football-Manager-2012-*OFFICIAL*-FAQ?p=7184719&viewfull=1#post7184719 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim morrow Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 same message, i verify the game files and find 9 files to be missing....Run once the game, crash dump !!!!!! run the game again, steam crash !!!!!! reboot my pc, run steam, FM12 crash dmp !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have 2 hours this morning to make a match, and I cannot play.............................. Why Steam ???????? I doesn't avoid to be cracked cause the cracker man are better than any protection that can exist on Earth........So next time, release with no protection please....it's a waste of time for us and money for you. people who want to buy the game, will buy it, people who want to play free, will crack it....that it's computer science, you cannot fight it.

sean_macleod Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Some people on here are unreal, maybe SI shouldnt release updates then i mean all you guys do is moan when they do, but moan when they dont as there are bugs in the game. Clear ya Cache its not hard, it wont break ya computer, infact if ya never done it, it might speed it up. Im playing the game now with no issues at all i waited for the update to install, i actually didnt know it was installing but i got a message in the bottom right of my screen saying football manager 2012 has downloaded, then i just clicked on the game and it worked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcysaint Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Its great that it works fine for you Sean, but obviously alot of other people are having problems. I have been playing FM since the CM days on the Amiga, so i am a very loyal customer to the game and will continue to be. But what i dont expect is to buy a game and then a week later not be able to play it because of third party issues!!! So get back in your box and go comment on another thread! Bye bye Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim morrow Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yes it works now !!!!!!!!!!!! Lucas, I think that error came from update not completely well downloaded. First time, steam didn't said to me that an update was found and installed...i think there is some trouble coming from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chave Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Getting the same message as everyone else after an hour of trying to fix. Currently restoring the game. Good job I've got a decent understanding of computers and know where this form is, otherwise I'd give up on the game. As it is I'm merely fuming that my only window of gaming this week has been spent trying to fix a game that was working perfectly fine at the weekend. Cheers!

marcysaint Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Neil do you think this is acceptable for customers to have todo once they have purchased the game? I now have to go out so am unable to try again and play FM. I get very little time to play the game anyway due to work and girlfriend commitments, so when i get a spare few hours like today i jump around the house for joy in anticipation to play FM. Now i cant........ acceptable?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy_jam Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks for the 'verify the cache' advice, I did this twice and after each one an update downloaded but when I've come to start a new game it still says version 12.0.0 with a default database. Should this have changed to 12.0.3? Want to make sure I'm totally up to date before starting a new game. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

moorey Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Is there anyway you can just download this game from the disk onto the computer. I have followed the instructions that Neil has giving us, but as the game loads it crashes at the start up screen and is just a black screen. One other thing, since using stream I have been getting spam emails, the reason i know is becuase when playing the Demo, i played the game as "Last Name".
