elbryan Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Unfortunately another issue has occurred. I don't know if I'm the only but since the last update Steam is occupying the cpu at 200%. It never occurred before, never. I never heard my Macbook Pro fans running as much as tonight. I don't know what's going on but it seems that there's a small bug that keeps the CPU running for no apparent reason. Can somebody else double check whether this happens to you as well? If so, can you ask Valve guys to investigate this? Thanks Explanatory pic: http://cl.ly/0Y301q462l3r1O3N0J3e Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbryan Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 On a a side note: I tried both online and offline mode and I tried disabling the in-game steam community. Nothing has changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossy1686 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Mines working now, wish i'd of seen this thread this morning and saved myself a day of uninstalling and re-installing FM.

A small suggestion for the future: don't ever never ever touch your saved data. I guess you deleted it manually because Steam isn't touching your saved games as long as I know.

devlinmolloy Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Mine also is not working, even though the updates have been installed and everything has been restarted.

mods1980 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 mine not working either, currently running osx 10.7.3 Didn't work all day yesterday so thought I would leave it until this morning. When I check for updates on steam it says I am up to date but when I click on play on FM i just get the 'preparing to launch' box which then disappears? Any other ideas? really appreciate any help!

devlinmolloy Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I did restart it actually, several times. And verified the identity and several times. And reinstalled it several times. I guess we still have to wait for a proper fix... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thain Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Problem solved after the new update. One day down....bad....but accetable Now the problem is that the game seems to be much more CPU demanding, overheating my poor laptop. What's up ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thain Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Just open steam and select "check for updates". For me this worked. activity monitor says that steam is using 66% of my CPU and FM 130%. Wow could it be overclocking ? This could be a big problem...overheating is really bad for our batteries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlinmolloy Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 My steam version is the same as vorvee's, and it is still not working. The only update I have seen is the April 19th update that caused the problem. Is there really another update out there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbryan Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 They are working on this CPU problem. The slowdown is due to Steam, not FM. So, there's nothing that SI guys have to fix. If you are willing to be sure you are running the latest version of Steam, you have to open it and wait 10 minutes and then *close* it. After you re-open it, the updates are going to be applied. The latest version is this: http://cl.ly/460E3p0P3Y3728440s0w Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vorvee Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Mine is on latest version, however, the problem is still. Do I have to re-download/re-install FM2012? I re-installed steam and restored FM from backup files, but it did't work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thain Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The overheating problems seems similar to those experienced while using wine or other wrappers to rum Windows games on mac.

Mo.AMM Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm having the same issue with the CPU with Steam I can't really play smoothly without it being fixed please SI contact Steam to fix this. 3 days without FM now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlinmolloy Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Unfortunately, even if you have the latest version. Which I now do, the one in your screenshot. FM prepres to load and then closes for unexpected reasons... Vorvee, I'm going to install FM again entirely ----------------------------------------------- Update: installed FM, no change. So....either it doesn't work at all even if you reinstall, update, & restart or it does work with this crazy CPU usage problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thain Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 So....either it doesn't work at all even if you reinstall, update, & restart or it does work with this crazy CPU usage problem. Precisely. Try simply to close-reopen steam ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ireland64 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 just download client steam and install it, when it ask for replace, click yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbryan Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 If you want, I found a small fix. Run Steam, run the game. The CPU will go over 200%. Open Activity Monitor and get the PID of the Steam app: http://cl.ly/1m2T0C2O2u1u0n1P3u21 Now open Terminal.app (or whatever terminal you like) and issue "kill -STOP PID" (see the screenshot). This will pause the process. Before shutting down the game, you may want to restart it: just issue "kill -CONT PID". Enjoy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbryan Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Ok, it's not really that good as solution. Sometimes it may happens that you have to go back to the terminal, issue the -CONT signal, and then go back, go ahead and re-pause the process again. Well.. it's better than nothing, anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candre168 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I would be careful with this CPU problem. Overheating can be devastating for your machine. Better wait for a fix and keep your machine safe. Doubt it'll be long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlinmolloy Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 When I click on play FM, I get the window "Preparing to load Football Manager 12." Then the FM icon in my dashboard comes up as if it's about to start, and then I get error message from the Mac OS (unlike the previous message, it is not from Steam) "Football Manager 2012 v 12 . 2 . 2 f 259407 quit unexpectedly," and then FM goes away. I've updated steam and done literally everything everyone said here and everywhere else. Several times. I don't know how many hours of troubleshooting it's been but way too many. I purchased FM online and downloaded on April 20th, ironically on the day that the bug happened. Maybe that has something to do with it, but I have reinstalled FM today.

slimucci Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Has there been any indication as to when the CPU issue is expected to be fixed, and in the mean time is SI's official recommendation forMac users to refrain from playing FM12 until the issue is fixed? Please advise SI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted April 21, 2012 Administrators Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm not a Mac expert so it's difficult for me to provide a comment which it totally informed but if you're not sure I'd err on the side of caution with this one. I'm still unfortunately waiting for an update. devlinmolloy - just to clarify - you've never been able to run the game? Do you know what type of graphics card you have on your Mac?
