Burto1945 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I know one problem I had was that on the order page, the box for credit card # and expiration date didn't show up. That was in Firefox, but when I switched to IE7, the box finally showed up, and worked fine. Just a heads up for any Firefox users. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

superustipak Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Please does anyone have any information about whether or not I can change my game to the one I actually wanted? I downloaded the South American version, now I'm stuck with spanish (a languange i don't know).. I also wonder how I was able to download it, I'm sitting here in Florida. So please, is there any way I could get the English Version instead of this one? I downloaded it about 20 minutes ago and just installed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will download this evening (as work tends to frown on doing this here - of course, they probably frown on my posting to forums here as well... ). As a non-urgent question/comment: I was just reading on the announcement about the patch beta that it would be available for the download significantly after the bought version. With the game being the same - it seems odd that the patch beta would not work for the download version as well. This isn't going to slow me down in any case - it just seems curious.

Chewin the Fat Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi guys Been lurking around the edges of this forum monitoring the Download situation. Here's my Issue. For some reason, I ended up with the Football Manager Demo, doing ok with Grimsby and I was wondering if I download the WWSM, will I be able to load my Saved Grimbsy game from the demo and see if I can lead them to glory? Having never been to Grimbsy and knowing nothing about them, they have grown on me quite a bit, In fact, Belive it or not, I actually check their score next to the Hearts Score on a Saturday Morning out here lol. Cheers guys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I ran the download program at first, I click on the Buy button at first, and I got an error message after I entered my credit card information. I tried the other button instead, the Unlock button I think it was called. I was sent to the same internet page, but my paiment worked this time. From what I read, some of you guys had the same problem. Anyway, I'm now downloading and I can't wait to play. Thanks guys for the hard work you put in that game.
