Having asked the same question at least 3 times myself, and having seen at least 3 other people with the same problem, i'm guessing nobody has any idea how to sort it i'm afraid!

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas on what I can do?

Honestly - how freaking hard can it be to have a patch that works ?

I have WWSM 2008 .... the Bittorrent connection will not work ... and the file name says it's for a MAC not a PC even though I click on the link for PC.

It's not like it's the day of the release ... this patch was released ages ago.

Unreal.

I've downloaded the FM 8.02 patch twice and installed it, however despite my preferences stating that I am running version 8.0.2 when I 'Check For Updates' on the main screen I get the following message on the SI website:

"We've detected that a newer version is available from the Sports Interactive website.

However, we are unable to find the download in our database currently. Please try later!"

Please advise.

Hi fellow football managers.

I hope someone can give me some advice regarding the following issue I have come across.

I'm into my 3rd season playing the Scottish Premier and I have noticed that no league fixtures have been generated for the new season. It's around July and although there are cup fixtures playable, the new league season doesn't seem to exist!

Do I need to download any of the patches - v8.0.1/v8.0.2 - and will they allow the league fixtures to be generated, or will I have to start all over again?

Furthermore, if I do need the patch, how do I install it etc. in order for it to take effect on my MAC?

Any info would be muchly appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi I am new to all this patch stuff but when i downloaded the patch and updated it so that it self extracted, i opened the game and it says unable to read the game, make sure that disc is inserted in the correct CD drive. This was happening with FM07 also. I copied all the files from Program Files folder to the db one is My Documents and tried again but in vain. How do i have to overcome this problem?? And how to insert steklo skins(I'm even having problem with them)? I am using 8.0 patch rite nw and it's alsolutely useless now with this error. Help!!!

Hi anders - I have the mac version and I too can't make the patch work. I download it and attempt to install it and it doesn't work. This is a shame as I have normally had no problems with SI games but I think 2008 really needs the patch badly so at the moment its driving me crazy.

Okay, before I start - I'm an idiot. So bare with me.

I bought FM08 for PC in March? I've been playing it since, today, sadly, is the first time I've used these forums, this patch seems pretty cool, but I'm worried and from skim reading the pages, I couldn't find the answer to the very simple questions I have, so here it is:

If I download and install this patch, do I lose my seasons already saved?

I'm using windows xp professional, will the patch work on my comp?

Does it cost anything?

thanks

If you have the demo the patch is automatically applied to that instead of the full game.

Hi. I've downloaded 8.02 but when I start the game it doesn't give me the option to start with 8.02, I just get default or 8.01. I'm stuck. Can anyone help, please?

For myself I downloaded it to my desktop, I don't think it matters where you save it to as the file self extracts into FM when you click on it.

So once you have downloaded it, click on it and a grey box appears with update being an option, click on update and it updates the game. Click finish and then load FM and it should be version 8.0.2.
