brayley Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Oh and for some reason it wont let me play in 'windowed mode' so i cant try that?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Can you be a bit more descriptive about whats happening? Do you get any error messages? What are you trying to do when the game crashes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brayley Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN I SAVE IT AND SOMETIMES WHEN IM JUST PLAYING! WILL IT BE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SAVE FILES, ROLLING SAVES OR SOMETHING? IT SAYS A CRASH DUMP AS BEEN ENTERED OR SOMETHING (FM 2009 v9.2.0.30301 (2009.01.02 18.08.01).dmp) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Is it happening at the same point every time? Do you do a rolling save? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brayley Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 pretty much the same point every time, sometimes i can play a few days, than it crashes, sometimes it crashes when the game database is loading. should i be useing rolling saves?

peter-evo Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Here I am Huw This was written by our very own Alan Make sure you made no mistakes in adding that bit to the end of the target. It should read like this: "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe" -windowed -small_screen Is that the exact target that you have? Also, are you using a PC or a Mac & did you activate with Steam or UniLoc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 right click on Football Manager icon on your desktop and change the target to this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt ex SEGA Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Failing that, get on the phone to Customer Services to get a run through of your computer spec. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digsy11 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 This is probably no help but I had this problem on 08. If you click ok the game should minimize, click the icon at the bottom of your screen and hopefully it will continue. Like I say it was 08 but I definitely had the out of bounds box pop up numeroes times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
