Happy Valentine's Day - FM 8.02 patch & data update available now! **UPDATED 20/2/08**

Hi,

Some help needed please.

I've played FM (and Champ'-man') for years now, but I've never used the patches before. So I thought I would give it ago - clean up a few bugs, like the stadium expansion one - but I am very confused. There doesn't seem to be a clear explaination for my confusion out there right now.

So I have a few questions - probably simple ones, or perhaps explained before, but I can't track down the answers and I've been looking for hours across the web.

Any help will very very welcome! Here goes it:

1. I can't currently use Torrents, being on Uni network. Which link is best to use to down load without using Torrents etc?

2. I tried and above link: http://files.filefront.com/fm2008+802+boxed+pcexe/;9678490;/fileinfo.html

... however, when I moved the downloaded file into the FM file, then into data, and finally db, then opened and clicked update (as instructions I read somewhere said) I get this message at what would seem to be the end (it says updating 48 files, and gets to the 48th before...):

"A sharing violation occurred while accessing C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\fm.exe."

... what does this mean? I presume this means the update was unsuccessful? What should I do?

3. If I am successful in updating etc, what are the next steps I should follow, once the download has finished auto-updating?

4. Finally, I'm currently into my second season with Man City - in the Champions League, top of EPL etc. Obviously, lots of things have happened and players have moved/improved/changed etc. and things are going very well for me.

How does the update affect the game? Or, how will it affect my current game? (if at all?)

I realise that these are probably common and straightforward questions, but I'm relatively inexperienced with patches and updates, and so require a fair bit of help to get me upto speed. Thank you for any help you might give.

Cheers, Joe.

(I'm using Vista, with FM 8.0.0)

I was wondering why SI haven't got the patch for download on their official site? If it is on there I couldn't find it. It just directs us to the forums to download it. I got 8.0.2 from rapidshare as I'm not keen on torrents either.

also a step by step guide would be great icon14.gif

Download it to your desktop or wherever you download your files too. Then click on the patch and then press update in the grey box. It updates it and then you are good to go.

When installing patch 8.0.2 the installer stops at file 44 and gives the following message-

"Error creating update file-C:|program files\sports interative\football manager 2008\ data editor.exe"

"Error 0X0000002- - the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"

I have searched the forums for a solution and subsequently completed a "clean install", using "add/remove" programs then deleting all game related folders, then deleting all cache files, then running check disc.

I then reinstalled the game and recieved the same error message.

Does anyone have a solution for this issue please.

Many thanks in advance

As SI members are dropping in here occasionally, can I please ask that the patch is now uploaded to the Sega website? The main rush of downloaders has hopefully fallen to a trickle and so the load on the servers shouldn't be as great. If I visit the Sega FM pages I can download the 7.0.2 patch from there no problem, but not the 8.0.2 patch. Which is annoying. I'm quite keen to start my FM08 career(s)!

Some of us can't access the t'internet from the gaming PC's and have to be a bit canny about which websites they visit.

Why do you want the 8.0.2 patch if you're still playing FM07?

Is there any changes on individual player data (other than Defoe) such as Ronaldinho, C.Ronaldo, Messi and other famous players? Please enlighten me, thanks!

Because I'm tinkering with FM08 now, but I'd like to be able to get my teeth into a full career game or Gundo's challenge; and I want to have the 8.0.2 patch before I start. And that FM07 game will run and run and run...

Is that the 8.0.2. WITH fix or just the original 8.0.2? It's so confusing that SI called them both the same!!! sigh!

Are you running FM at the same time as trying to update? If you are, close FM and then try updating again.

Thanks

I am also not having luck with the mac bittorrent. It doesn't seem to do anything. Kind of frustrating. Is there another way to do this like the old way where we just clicked a link and it opened?

It's his first and to date only post. Given his alleged country of origin (near my home), it's understandable since you can't get a legit copy of FM out here (I had my mum forward mine from England).

Given his username he's probably on a wind-up, but it may be a genuine query.

anyway, the one-word answer to Osama's query is:

NO!

Any other things that can be wrong? I get an error message while running BitTorrent saying <Error 'offline [timed out)' while downloading URL.>
