Mr Young summed it up. New games on 11.2 with Poland running are fine. Games created before the patch aren't with the new patch installed.

I know one thing for sure. I'll never use Steam in the future. That way I can control when I patch things. I'm very annoyed, I could have had a good long session tonight and also tomorrow night unless they find a fix in the day time.

Unlucky mate, I can imagine how frustrating that must be. Hopefully they will announce a fix sooner rather than later.

Incredibly frustrating!

Thing is... if it's not fixed soon, then I won't get far into my career by the time FM2012 comes out which would mean I wouldn't be buying it.

Assuming I enjoy a long career at Newcastle...

You can change the patching preferences on Steam if you do right click > Properties > Updates Tab > Automatic Updates > Do not automatically update this game.

Doesn't help now unfortunately, but might be worthwhile for future reference.

Depends why you use Steam I guess!

The reason I use Steam is mainly to not need the disk in the drive (I like the other benefits like being able to reinstall from Steam if I lose the disk/damage it, but I haven't needed that yet). I like to wait until the end of a season to patch up, so I turn patching off normally, then if one has been released when I arrive at the break, switch it back on.

2011/2 - Newcastle Town (Northern Premier League First Division South)

It's where the beautiful game turned ugly

Board: Respectable position

Media: 10th

Bookies: 14-1

Season tickets: 92 (up 2)

Before the season starts the board generously give me an extra £50 per week to top my wages up to £250. Not a bad part time wage.

We start flying. We score goals left right and centre and an early December 3-0 at local rivals and fellow flying starters Kidsgrove puts us clear of them by 5 points after 16 games having lost just once. We're ten clear of the third place team.

In mid January we are still top having lost twice in twenty three games. The board give me an extra £25 per week and year on my contract. I also apply the second patch plus hotfix.

Rushton got injured and the goals dried up. We might have scored more goals had we partnered Florence & The Machine and Enter Shikari up front. We start drawing too many games and losing a few. We're hanging on...

And hang on we do. With a game to play we are three points clear of Sutton Coldfield but have a superior goal difference by twelve. Job done. Just. Silly, absurd, ridiculous.

Is he singing or shouting?

Both and neither. I can't do it myself, but a few friends can. Haven't been singing long enough to develop the muscles in my abdomen/diaphragm, if you do it without that strong base then you destroy your voice. I don't really like Enter Shikari, but it's nothing to do with their singer.

Great first season, good luck in the Northern Premier (I assume).

Snake its not too hard, its mainly in the throat ;)

deadfncat Seen them twice, in one music video, got a signed poster by the whole band and a signed Triablism limited edition top signed by Rou :D

Well done Nobby! Good luck in the next division, I think you'll end 12th :)

That also isn't the greatest song in my opinion, I prefer it when it's proper signing or screaming, not the in between but still I love them.

Shikari live recently:
