RedFromNZ Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hey everyone. I purchased FM2012 over the counter a couple of days ago and then proceeded to install it on my MacBook Pro with OSX Lion, played it for 2 days without any problems, and then went to play it this morning and it won't work. What happens is, I click the FM2012 shortcut on my desktop to start it up, which then starts up Steam, saying "Connecting Steam Account: RedFromNZ" but FM2012 never loads like it was doing so previously. If I go to my Games menu and click 'Play', still nothing. If I go to shut down Steam it says something along the lines of "Please quit FM2012 before shutting down Steam." I'm stuck! Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFromNZ Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling FM2012. No luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMan Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 There a guides for simmilar issues on a PC on steams support site, but not for Mac. I would personally suggest putting in a steam support ticket, and they will be able to help you: https://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt ex SEGA Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Have you put in a Steam support ticket? Or contacted SEGA Customer Services? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFromNZ Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Have you put in a Steam support ticket? Or contacted SEGA Customer Services? Yeah I've put in a Steam support ticket. No reply yet but I'm hopeful. Extremely frustrating to have the game not work after I spent so much money on it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt ex SEGA Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Quick suggestion - can you go to the Steam menu, settings, Download and Cloud, try changing your region there and restarting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFromNZ Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 I can't even find Steam Menu, settings etc. Where is it located? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry01234 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Its under "Preferences" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt ex SEGA Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Well - I'm guessing - on the PC version when you have Steam open, there's a menu that runs along the top of it - Steam, View, Friends, Games, Help. Look or sounds familiar in any way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFromNZ Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Literally the only tabs I can find are Store, Library, News and Community. Can't see Preferences anywhere, nor Settings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry01234 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Right at the top of the screen, next to the "Apple" click "stream", and "preferences" is there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt ex SEGA Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hmmm. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5483-YUFN-0521 seemed to be the best advice I can find. I have no idea where preferences are though I'm afraid, I've literally never used a Mac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFromNZ Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Okay thanks for your help anyway mate. I'm gonna wait for that support ticket to be responded to. I've never had good experiences using Steam, be it on Counter-strike or Football Manager, regardless of whether I was on my old PC or my new Mac. Hate the bloody thing! Cheers for trying though mate.

Matt ex SEGA Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Heh - they're gonna tell you to do the same thing. I suggest you hunt down those preference - did the advice in post 13 not help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry01234 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Mine is working again!! Followed Matt's link, about the blob. Exit from Steam and go to the ~/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps and delete any listed .ncf files for the specific games. Once you have deleted them, re-open stream from THE STREAM LINK not the FM12 shortcut. Then it will ask you to INSTALL again, this will re-download the patch and will hopefully make FM work again!
