Donald-Duck Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Do any of the other providers offer preloading as a service? direct2drive do for extremely popular relaseses it seems. Or at least one of my preorders will have a preload in a few days. (Dragon age) Will direct2drive be making it available at 12:01 tonight orshould I contact them to find out?

blueentity Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Matt, Will someone be updating this thread as soon as the esellerate link is available ? Or a time when it should be available ? I'm hoping it will be just after midnight, shame steam don't properly support MAC versions! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt ex SEGA Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 We'll keep you posted as the sites go live with the game, of course... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

del55 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Sorry, this has probably already been mentioned. Was just wondering whether it will be possible to download the game from one of the sites onto say a hard drive/usb key and then install it onto a different computer? Afraid I'm still on dial-up here at home so was hoping it might be possible to download the game at the internet caf in town and then install it on the laptop back in the house. Cheers.

Tanzinho Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Can i get a simple answer here, as I've trawled through thread after thread and cannot seem to find one(most likely I've just overlooked it mind! ) Will I be able to download and play FM2010 in 8 hours time (friday morning) or do i have to wait 1 day and 8 hours like my steam account said. I don't want to pre order with steam if i am going to be forced to wait any longer than i need to! thanks for the reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatherd Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Tanzinho - someone rather kindly just posted this link in another thread http://store.steampowered.com/app/34000/ so it looks like it's 7 hours away again now (at least for me) del55 - I might be wrong but I think you should be able to copy and paste all the files in your steamapps folder, as steam themselves encourage you to do so when you want to move all your games to another hard drive etc to save on download time. Whether you can actively chose to install to a usb or not I don't know. The problem you'll face at an internet cafe is whether they'll let you install stuff on their computers, unless it's just a wireless hotspot. I'd probably just find somewhere with wireless broadband, take my lappy and download it there and then. Obviously you'll still need to access all your copied stuff through your steam account, so it knows you're a legit customer, before any accuses me of rampant piracy... And still on dialup?! Where do you live, the Orkney Islands?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Question about digital downloads, Game is doing it over here in the UK. And basically I'm wondering, will the game still run fine? Will I have any problems with 3rd party editors, utilities and such. Also, if my computer crashed, would I still be able to re-install the game if I saved it to a disc, or is that illegal?

dlyn1907 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Some say the game will be available on october 31 on steam and they have screenshots of it but i open my own steam and it says it will be unlocked in 6 hours can somebody tell me if there is an exact conclusion about the release date Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is kinda sad. I have every Football Manager since FM06 sitting in my games rack next to me, so 2010 had a place reserved for it. FM05, CM4 and CM03/04 were lost when I moved to my current place, and any older than that used to be sold on to a friend every year to help fund the new game.

BenMusalho Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hey I haven't read all the questions/answers, so I don't know if this question has been answered before, but: Can I buy the game in a shop (get the CD and all that stuff) and then download a digital version and use the code there? My CD/DVD drive do not work, so I have to download it digitally (can't use Steam, I'm a Mac) - and can I just enter a code I get when I buy the game in a shop near me and then play, or do I have to pay to download it digitally?

If you use mac, I can pretty much guarantee you'll have to buy the game from a DD partner to use it without the dvd in the drive, as the store bought copies will just have a STEAM code, no seriel key.
