rinso 171 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 First guess is that the game is just simply too old. Have to hang fire til after the weekend when (hopefully) someone from SI would be able to confirm for sure.. 06 is stretching it a bit though, considering developments in tech between then n now..

FrazT 2,148 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 There is considerable evidence to suggest that the way that W10 now handles DRM issues, will make older games difficult and sometimes impossible to run on a new OS. There is no magic formula although some users have managed it using trial and error but I suspect that it has proved impossible for most. Link to post Share on other sites
Etebaer 115 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Maybe a Retro PC Setup that runs Win7 will help... Link to post Share on other sites
DementedHammer 436 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I still play FM2006 on Windows 10. But, I don't think I can post how I got it running without breaking the rules of the forum. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Carambau 473 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 What is it with FM2006 suddenly being the hot **** again? Maybe I should try this too again... please OP include me in the PMs as well 2 Link to post Share on other sites

With FM2008 being the best of it, before FM2009 was introduced with 3D, etc. Its also some form of nostalgia. Kuyt, Vlaar, Robben, Bergkamp, Stam, Kluivert, etc etc etc all were still playing. Not to mention players, like Mika Aaritalo, Freddy Adu, Eddie Johson, etc. Edited January 8 by RinusFM 2 Link to post Share on other sites

You could probably run a virtual machine running an older OS more compatible with the game, I doubt W10 still supports a game from 06 haha Link to post Share on other sites
Federico 1,247 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 There's a solution but it's not legal I'm afraid, so I can't say where to head to and how to fix this. I'm on Win10, I own every solid copy of Football Manager from 2005 till 2021(Football Manager Live included) and I'm proud of my collection, but if I'm forced to play FM07, a product I legally bought (and I indeed still enjoy playing it), and if there's no legal support that could help me to bypass this compatibility obstacle, then I think I have all the rights to move to the Dark Side. Edit: ... and I also suspect about multi-account... Link to post Share on other sites
