I’m encountering a Steam error message when launching the game

If you receive any kind of Steam error message when first starting the game (such as certain Error numbers) there are a few troubleshooting steps we suggest undertaking in order to get it to work.

- Make sure your Graphics Card drivers and installed and fully up to date 
- Check any programs which are known to cause issues with FM and/or Steam
- If running on a laptop with dual graphics cards, make sure they are configured for the correct card to run with FM 
- Make sure your Anti-Virus isn’t interfering with Steam or FM as this can cause problems when installing or launching the game 
- Make sure your Windows Updates are up to date and that your DirectX is not corrupted
