dpholdham: If like myself you can't use bittorrent, there is a rapidshare file that user Luís Silvares has uploaded where you can download it from until SI update the mirrors.

1. Click on the link below, and click on the free account thing if you are not subscribed to rapidshare:

http://rapidshare.com/files/93562173/fm2008_802_boxed-pc.rar

2. Once your download is ready to begin, save it somewhere - e.g. Documents > Sports Interactive > FM2008 > Make a new folder entitled Patches.

3. Once downloaded, use winrar to extract the files in the Patches folder you made (winrar is available for free download here, top link I think. I think it is already present on Windows Vista).

4. Open the patch and install.

5. Load up FM and 8.0.2 should be present. I think this is displayed as 8.02 118048 (m.e v665) in the game status screen, though someone else should be able to confirm this.

Apologies if I've got any of that horribly wrong and have only served to confuse people further. While I'm pretty sure that's what I did, I am a dunce when it comes to computers.

Thanks for explaining it, trundle. That should do it! icon_wink.gif

Has anyone had aproblem with the patch totally destroying there version of the game?

I downloaded and installed it and now i can't load any of my previous games or start a new one. Every time i go to load anything i gat a message - "unable to load database"

And that is any database, not just the 8.02 patch!!!!!

Starting to get really annoyed - had the game over 4 months and still can't get a decent game up and running!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys, newly registered member.

Apologies for being lazy, but am I correct in assuming that 8.0.2 also includes changes from 8.0.1?

For some strange reason, I wasn't aware of 8.0.1 so was still playing with v8.0, and just wondering if 8.0.2 would backport the 8.0.1 changes too.

Cheers,

Dave

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I have downloaded the patch about 15 times now! Every time I install it, it comes up with the message at the end "unable to install as file is being used by another process".

All the data is in the program file in the updates section, and I can access, change and save the database, but when I load the game up it's still version 8.0.0.

If I save the databaseas "default" and paste it over the default database in the file will I be able to "trick" the game?

If someone can give me some advise i'd really appreciate it. I don't want to start a new game on 8.0.0 and if I had any hair i'd be tearin it out right now!!

Make sure the game isn't running when you run the patch, also restarting your PC before running it might be necessary.

Will the new 8.0.2. patch (or anything afterwards) deal with the MLS problem? MLS rules for 2008 allow for 8 international players, as opposed to the previous rule with 4 senior internationals and 3 youth internationals.

This would be fine, except that the 8.0.2. update has teams with more than 4 senior internationals (since they're going by 2008 rules), and they're forced to cut some of their new signings.

Because it`s packed with winrar after unpacking the size of the patch is normal (around 150 mb, I don`t remember exactly)
