algern0n Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 This isn't that big a problem if you turn on the two-finger right-click in system preferences. You'll still have to put up with having your entire first team out with broken limbs though. I'm a Spurs-fan, this is normal to me. =) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash420 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 This site is a good way to waste a few hours:http://www.freewebarcade.com/latest/1/ I particularly recommend Contrast Cannon, Zilch and Super Stacker.

Ben Jones Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Can anyone help me, I have just installed the full game on my macbook pro, only to find that the high and medium graphic settings are grayed out, does this mean my macbook pro can only play FM2009 on low graphic settings??

mikeone5 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 the patch section on the fm website wont load for me now an keeps going to a page that isnt valid, so im hoping that they are uploading it as we speak. either that or there are too many people downloading the pc patch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucagfc Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 The extra time for the Mac version is only for the conversion or there is the possibility that resolve the graphical problems (are selectable only low details)? Thanks a lot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemc Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 The Mac installation doesn't use the online activation process which the PC users are finding so 'fun'. I believe its the same gud 'ole CD-In-Drive activation. I've not had to put any codes in and i can launch a game. Best post I've read all day! No activation codes! Whoop!

fuego Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi, The patch was not yet out and yesterday SI realized and announced that a new one was already necessary (13 players in the match tactic screen, 2torres and 2 Gerrard). At this point I don’t mind if 9.1. for mac is out or not. I prefer waiting for 9.2 hoping it can be out in a couple of weeks. Bye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneAndOnlyJDB Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Know issue that the patch will fix Thanks Ben for the update, I guess i have to wait until the patch comes out.

Bye. That is just a cosmetic issue and has no influence on the game play. And yes, for all mac users, you can put in the disk and start a game, you don´t need any kind of authentication/authorising.

testspecimen Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I hope this patch pops up soon. I gave up installing on the PC for the obvious reasons, but then realised that I cant really play* it on the Mac either, without the patch.

jaybz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 will the patch take effect on games that were started with the vanilla version of FM09?? so if i start a game now and install the patch when it comes out, will the right-click problem persist? thanks for the help.

Koskis Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Those people getting errors 10 and 702, we are updating some info at Uniloc to try to help the issue. Unfortunately while that is updating it has slowed the system significantly and this is causing these errors, as well as the telephone outage.We'd advise you to hold off trying to authenticate while this happens, we will let you know as soon as it is back up to speed. They are updating Activation system BUT we dont get patch... Fair enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

442to445 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Right, I'm joining the queue of disgruntled Mac owners awaiting their turn to patch. At least I've found out why Rafa has such a hard time shifting Jermaine Pennant: just like me every time he goes to right click the bugger to transfer list him he has to shut down and restart *ahem* Seriously SI, I love the dedication and hard work you put in to each iteration of the game but you couldn't pick up on the injury bug and the Mac right click bug before it went gold? Let alone all the rest? Who do you have testing for you? People who failed Microsoft OS bug testing School because it was 'too hard'? Next year do an open Beta and let the people who buy the game compulsively year in, year out work through all the iterations and find out what works and what doesn't because *sheesh* talk about giving yourselves a bad reputation. The last time it was this awful and requiring patches was CM2. (Okay, we did wait n+1 years for that but hey...) Oh and giefmacpatchnaowkthxbye. Luv, Mike P.S.
