Who has the game and it's working fine?

It seems that almost all of the people on this forum are having issues with their copy of football manager 2009. I on the other hand have experienced absolutely no problems installing/downloading or activating it. It might be because I did it with steam, but I'm very happy with how easy and smoothly it all went. Who else has got it working fine? Either using steam or not.

Mine isn't activated yet

Mine's working fine, it seems. Even the freeze I got with the demo is now gone.

The reason most people are complaining is simple: the ones who have no problems are sleeping or playing. Same as every year at this time

I installed mine with Steam but when i click Launch game it says that 'Football Manager 2009 has stopped working.'

Heh, unlucky for you guys. Let me just say, the match engine is vastly improved.

Got it through steam, game running

Me

Admittedly I had to download a .net framework and then use Miles' solution to the serial problem, but it's now running nicely on my machine.

My game code wont activate in steam... I tried installing it the other way and the activation code worked but than the game wont open... it says there is an error.? Any clues?

Mines working fine!!

Im up and running using Steam. Which i think is a great idea, dont have to worry about waiting ofr the patch, updates automatically. So you'll always be up-to-date.

I have it and it's working fine.

That depends on what the error is. Take a look through the Bugs forum. I found a solution to my problem within 10 seconds and got it sorted in 2 minutes.

Working okay here.

I had no problems at all. Playing the game right now and enjoying it so far.

Mine is working fine. Had to type my activation key in a second time as the first time I did a o instead of a 0 but apart from that no problems.

Authenticated fine (minor 0_o issues) started it and it crashed. Patched it and it's gotten to nearly the end of setting up a game with absolutely everything loaded (fake players though).

It's slightly faster than FM08 with everything running, it finisherd while I was typing this so had to play for a little before posting

After a hiccup or 2 activating mine, its working fine now, and couldnt be happier.

i downloaded mine from steam, anyone know how i access the editor?

I am trying to open mine but is says "failed to set up graphics system"

Does anyone no how to fix this?

i downloaded mine from steam, anyone know how i access the editor?

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\football manager 2009\tools\data editor

whats all this steam **** about??cant I jus go home put the disc in,install it and play??

Got it working and i have to admit the 3D match engine isn't living up to the hype.

I liked the way Steam worked, after reading about people struggling to type the code in etc, no code with Steam. Patch downloaded and installed automatically, launched the game. Activation must have been automatic because I didn't need to do anything. Even my FM08 facepacks and logos work!

well mine is sayin graphics setup error wich is pure bollox!!!

the demo worked perfectly on this same computer, I used steam to install so i have the update on, and i tried to install the graphics fix as recommended and it told me i already had it so basically its just a complete joke.

As sigames have turned out to be, worked me arse off for them all summer giving them files for there database for barrow and for what??? them to bring out a shoddy game that doesnt even work properly.

Working perfect here.
