Aim_Less Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Try this first possible fix exit steam go to steam folder and erase the clientregistry.blob file and start stam Second fix if that doesn't work : On Windows Start Steam Go to Steam > Settings > Downloads tab Under Download region, select a different but relatively close region. Try launching or installing the game once more On Mac Start Steam Click on Steam > Preferences > Downloads tab Under Download region, select a different but relatively close region. Try launching or installing the game once more other possible solution On Windows If the issue is isolated to a few Steam games, please exit from Steam and go to the Steamapps folder (default is C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps) and delete any listed .ncf files for the specific games. Once complete, please restart Steam to test the issue. On Mac If the issue is isolated to a few Steam games, please exit from Steam and go to the ~/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps and delete any listed .ncf files for the specific games. Once complete, please restart Steam to test the issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the US so only 18:45 here so plenty of gaming time left for me today (FM 2010) What Mac did you get mate....desktop or laptop. Just wondered how well FM2011 works on it assuming you played the demo??? I got a Macbook duo core and fm2011 don't run to good on it.

malleria Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 Haha, I wouldn't have had a clue otherwise. I know it sounds really sad and cheesy, but I'd just spend 30 quid on my favourite game and it looked like it wasn't working, meaning I've have to wait 4 days for a post delivery for another 30 quid, so again, thanks.

Wiitastic Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 IT'S WORKING! :').

Crewey Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Happy days mate!!! Glad you got it working. You have to play FM in windowed mode to switch between the internet and the game. Unfortunately you cant quite se the whole screen unless you go to system preferences which is found by clicking the apple on the top left---------->Dock------------->reposition on the left or right and also turn hiding on. This way the Dock only appears when place the mouse pointer to which ever side the dock has been repositioned. I relieve you of your personal slave duties don't think its good for you to up sticks and move to America. How does the 3D run on your MacBook Pro??? and dude,you need to get to your buddys house and get some Mac lessons lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
