Vauxite Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Oh sorry, I meant to answer you.Can you try something for me? Do you play in windowed mode? If not go into windowed mode through preferences (check text) and in there resize the window, see if it makes any difference, just click on the bottom right edge and move size the window that way. I'm not sure what's causing this but if this sorts it out it may give us something to go on. I have the exact same problem and I tested what you said. As you resize the window it goes back to normal for a split second then almost seems to zoom in and go fuzzy again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks...dcc It's not a problem it's a feature Again activation people make sure you download the correct patch for your version of the game - it's seperate for Steam bought, store bought and otherwise downloaded (eg, eSellerate) - if you install the wrong one you may have to reinstall the game to get it working again. Andy, if you browse to the download folder for BT (should be in 'options' or 'preferences' inside BT) you can then run the downloaded patch file Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisandro Lopez Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 One last question, apologies if I've already asked this Are you playing in full-screen windowed mode? I found that this was the main cause of the problem for me. No problem ahmufcwafc, yes I play full-screen window mode. Oh sorry, I meant to answer you.Can you try something for me?

I'm not sure what's causing this but if this sorts it out it may give us something to go on. Tried what you suggested, still has no effect on the fuzzy text. It did for a split second go back to normal clear text but instantly zoomed in and went fuzzy again.

CrashOverride Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yep, had no effect. Try this HoPeY? Other XML Errors First of all you need to turn on hidden files and folders. Go to My Computer and at the top select 'Tools' the 'Folder Options'. The go to the 'View' tab and select 'Show hidden files and folders' Delete the following folder: XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\settings Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\settings This may solve some issues regarding the XML Errors You never know!

Okay that's around the right size for the file. Did you try rebooting and then running the patch again? The only other thing I can suggest is to uninstall the game (copy your saved games), install again and then try to patch again. If you have the demo installed at all make sure you uninstall that too. It could still be a corrupt download but I don't want to advise you to download the file again if there is no need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
