Michael F Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Final Release Unfortunatly due to the forum being down i cant post a fix list but it should have most things done *New links with fixes coming later today (mon) Installation Download this file to your desktop. • Right click on it and extract to FM WeeGiE Update, this will create a yellow folder on your desktop • Once extracted its safe to delete the zip folder (blue, green, purple book icon) • Right click and 'cut' • Place folder in My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2008/db and paste it inside the db folder. • Please make sure the FM WEEGIE folder that you extract is not inside another folder called FM WEEGIE. It has to be 1 Folder Only. • Load Football Manager 2008 and when asked to choose db, pick FM WeeGiE Update. Enjoy! cheers michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadways Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 You have to be registered on FMWeegie to get the download so a link is only good if you're a member I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a member is kind of irrelevant when the forum is down. I meant he should post a direct link to the download. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadways Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Being a member is kind of irrelevant when the forum is down. I meant he should post a direct link to the download. Yeah but the download is on that site, of which you need to be registered, so we're in a catch 22 situation, or do you mean he should host the database somewhere else when he gets it?

Suzie MUFC Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Problem is, the forum will probably crash all over again at 9.30pm. Direct linkage from here could ease the load. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always hosted on a third party website, he just puts the link on the forums where only members can access it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing. We've got a rule here that says all links to downloads should not be to somewhere you need to register on. It says it on bold at the top there.

JimmyIOCS Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I guess he's not going to put the link anywhere else except his website, which means it will probably be October before anyone is able to actually download it. I guess it will be easier to look for another update rather than wait for this one, as we may be waiting a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzie MUFC Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Well the Weegie forum has completely and utterly gone, so if he wants to get it out tonight, he's going to have to use a direct link here. At least I hope he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson123 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 lol agree with TopToffee here - everyone going wild, posting sarcastic comments regards to not being able to download it until October and why doesnt he just put the link here etc. Yeah I waited for this too, I was on the forum when there were 300+ registered users and a 158 guests sat wanting the download file. Im gutted I cant get it now and have a nose about but the blokes gone to work. Im sure it will be up and sorted by later this evening so everyone just chill with your sarcastic comments and appreciate the work they do when you do get to download it - afterall, the reason your posting in here is because you are clearly in the know that there really isnt any better unofficial update available imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopToffee Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 \o/The site was up at 4 iirc. If released then, then everyone would have it. And..? Evidently it wasn't ready at 4pm. Even if it was, people do have, you know, lives to lead. The attitude of some people in here really stinks. The Weegie team put a lot of work into this update, and they do so in their own spare time and for no fee or other compensation. I think the least you can do is have a little gratitude and patience. Although perhaps not surprising from someone who idolises Emre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
