Steam Error - "The game is currently unavailable. Please try again at another time."

[Will_K]

Hi

I went to load FM12 last night and again this morning and came up with this error - "The game is currently unavailable. Please try again at another time."

Has anyone else experienced it and know how to fix it?

Just another problem with Steam, I hope FM13 doesn't use Steam but we all know it will.

Thanks

Will

I have the same trouble, I've been trying to resolve this for 1.5 days. In case this helps try this. If not and you have Bullguard AV / forewall try temorarily switching these off to launch game[/i] else launch with av / firewall. Remember to switch back on

- Click on "OK" and then start Steam using the same shortcut
