SI Staff Grant Appleyard Posted April 22, 2009 SI Staff Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hi guys, We are in discussions with both Uniloc and Valve regarding this issue. I appreciate it's a royal pain for those of you who cannot play, and we're trying to get it sorted asap. Uniloc have made some changes at their end, which is why (I suspect) the likes of Manukillie are able to play again. Can I ask that everyone who had this issue try again today to boot the game, and let us know how you get on. Apologies once again. Grant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owie Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 i followed the steps provided by FCB-rako, i still cannot run this game. SI activator has stopped working then i am asked for product key, i enter this and press next, then it says football manager has stopped working and windows will close the program. I have never had any issues with FM/CM before however, this is rediculous. I am very dissapointed SI!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadey1 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I think I have a similar issue, but I'm not using Steam for FM. I get (and it seems jsut to be in busy evening hours) the please activate pop up. And no matter how many times I try I can't. Started last night and resolved itself about 11pm.

BenMusalho Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hey. I've downloaded FM09 online from this site, because my computer won't accept any discs. It simply doesn't work. Well, here's my problem: I want to activate the game, so I press "activate" when I open it. I type in my key, but it says, that the key is incorrect length? It is the right key. Anyone who can solve this problem for me? It would be nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickel Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I was told to by Bardi post the following issue here, although I'm not quite sure that it's the same problem. But here goes: Hi, I bought the game at release, activated it via Steam and have been playing it ever since. However, today when I tried to play the Softanchor online activation thing popped up. I thought it was a bit wierd that all of a sudden it wanted me to activate there too when I've activated it via Steam. I typed in my licence key, but it said that the key had already been activated. So what do I do now? Is there any way to release a key? Or can I get to play some other way? Regards Pickel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickel Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 It's fine that you tell me to post in another thread. However, I'd like some response. I've (we've) paid for this game I'm (we're) not able to play anymore. Please confirm that you're working on fixing the problem. Silence is never good...

Bardi Golriz Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Sorry to those who haven't had their posts acknowledged yet. Grant is unfortunately currently indefinitely out of the office, so until his return I don't expect much activity happening here I'm afraid. I will try to see if there's anything else I can do in the meanwhile. So, if you could be a little patient (I know it will be hard) that would be grateful.

ryan7 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=125296 I posted here. All of a sudden I'm being prompted for my activation code. When i type it in, it's not being accepted. I've uninstalled the game and attempted other various fixes, with & without steam but still no success. Please help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardi Golriz Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 A small update guys. I've been told that Grant should be coming back into the office sometime next week (hopefully Tuesday). You will most probably have to wait till then at the earliest, before you get a reply. I know this is not what you wanted to hear (having to wait another few days before a response), but I'd rather you guys be informed as opposed to hopelessly refreshing your screens in hope for a reply for the next few days. Again, I want to apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused you and would like to thank you for the patience you've showed thus far.

Johannes Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 FFS!!! This problem has been since April and still it hasnt been fixed!!!! What a disgrace! I though this was a newly found problem. SI really should send us a new disk. Obviously something is wrong with Steam somehow or someway. I'm really unhappy about this. Whatever I do I cant progress through 30th september 2008.

themadhatter43 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hmm, this is exactly why I am sticking with Football Manager 08, and I love it. It seems to me that the 09 version is nothing but problem after problem. I really do think that someone is not keeping to their side of the contract here. People pay good money for a working product, if that product then stops working for any reason, then they are not getting a working product. People ARE entitled to get their money back, as long as they have their receipts of purchase. I am really shocked about the amount of problems that this particular product has produced. I would say more so even then any other previous incarnations of Football Manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlayerX Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 This happens pretty much on a weekly basis on my secondary laptop, I don't mind it much because I use the "Fixv2" route, but it's a complete and total bitch when I don't have net access. For any particular reason I don't have internet access it means that I'm unable to upload my activation request, which means the game blocks me from loading it. I just hope upon hope that the powers that be can properly sort out the activation issues for the next version of Football Manager. This is my only real gripe with Football Manager 2009, well, that and the limited amount of animation of the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shearersheed Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 hi I am having problems with this now. I have installed patch 3.0 and I installed via steam. I had a problem with previously before I installed the patch, but then I uninstalled and re installed. tried that again tonight and it has not worked, it is really starting to frustrate me now as I was sitting high and mighty at the top of the premier league with Newcastle, which at first was the reason I assumed that it kicked me out of the game!!! I am mightily frustrated with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Wright\'s Champion Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 here's hoping next time they just release a game on CD that you load onto your computer and play, like about 99.99% of other PC games- all of this "download steam" and "get an activation code" is a pain- i've bought the game legitimitely and i just want to turn my computer on and play it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest octop8 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I posted this in the PC support thread but the moderator there asked me to post in this thread: I installed FM2009 for a week and have been playing the game fine. I bought the boxed-set. Suddenly today, it refuses to load up. Every time I launch it, nothing happens, even after more than 30 mins. I look in task manager processes, end the fm.exe processes and try again and again. So I attempted to uninstall game. It asks me if I want to deactivate the game, I click yes. Again, it was stuck at the "Executing" window for an hour. Nothing happened. I ended the process again via task manager. Went to your website and followed the guides for manual uninstall, deleting the reg keys and the certificate folder etc. I then reinstalled the game. Now I get to the SoftAnchor activation screen and enter my code (verified on their website several times). But it refuses to activate. It gets stuck on the "Initializing" screen for ages, almost an hour. I tried using the fix on your website, launched the activator vbs file and entered my code. Again, more than hour no response. I also tried the fix v3 but I get the unhandled exception error. What is going on? What is making this game such a pain. My computer is i7/Nvidia 285 so it's definitely not my system or graphics drivers. I have Vista 64-bit and it was running fine for a week or so. I have been a long time player of this game but this version is truly a pain. EDIT: I have also installed the 9.3 patch and used Uniloc to activate the first time.
