slimucci Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Will there be an official Football Manager announcement on the website or on Twitter etc as soon as the CPU issue is resolved? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlinmolloy Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Neil, I have never been able to run the game. I downloaded it on Friday, and it has not worked. I have enough free memory and my processors are fine. I do think it has to do with steam, but I don't know. Are there other people for whom FM is still not loading, even with updates? I'm not sure how to classify what graphics card I have on my Mac. But here is a copy and paste of the Graphics/Displays section of "About this Mac." I'm sure the relevant name/number is listed: Intel GMA 950: Chipset Model: GMA 950 Type: GPU Bus: Built-In VRAM (Total): 64 MB of Shared System Memory Vendor: Intel (0x8086) Device ID: 0x27a2 Revision ID: 0x0003 Displays: Color LCD: Resolution: 1280 x 800 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Built-In: Yes Display Connector: Status: No Display Connected Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Heskey's stepovers Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Still not working, Steam says its up to date but the game is doing what it was before. I'm very doubtful I'll buy this game again next year if it still forces me to use Steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimucci Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I really do love Football Manager, and have done for many years....but there have been way to many issues over the past few years. General issues with Mac compatibility, but mainly huge issues with Steam. Please SI, go back to the way it was before Steam and do us all a favour. PS Please get this CPU issue sorted ASAP.

Mo.AMM Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Ok so Steam really needs to get this CPU thing sorted quickly playing like this is almost impossible I really would love to play tomorrow this shouldn't be a issue for something you bought.

zzone Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Still not working, i tried to force close the steam after launching FM2012, but then FM2012 used all the CPU. Neil Brock, any news from Valve have they found anything major yet? Can we expect this to be fixed even today? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu1892 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 It seems, for me at least that the processor stays under 20% playing in offline mode. Before hand it was up to 150% before i'd even loaded the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazloki1 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hey Guys, best thing to do until the over clocking is fixed it to roll back to the previous version of steam, you can do this by doing the following: Steam uninstall/reinstall: 1. Go to 'Applications' in a Finder window, and drag Steam to Trash 2. when asked if you want to keep files or delete make sure you KEEP files (i think its the option on the left) 3. Empty Trash 4. Redownload and install Steam 5. Allow it to autoupdate 6. Launch FM This worked for me and my friends, the only thing you need to remember is that you CANNOT restart steam or your computer afterwords!! if you do then steam will update again and the overclocking problem will return! just check this forum every now and then to see when the overclocking is fixed, that way you know when you can update.

Ipswich Staying Up Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I don't seem to have any problem at all - on or offline. One question - and this may be me being dense - is the fact that the CPU % goes over 100% even an issue? Because if its 100% of not alot then it isnt an issue? Take this screenshot from elbryan's post earlier... http://cl.ly/0Y301q462l3r1O3N0J3e Yes his CPU% is high but it is a high percentage of low usage as in the bottom left corner it says that the overall CPU usage is 75% idle. This is what I occasionally see on my system but it doesn't seem to be an issue. I'm guessing i'm being over simplistic and hopefully someone can explain why i'm wrong!!

Mo.AMM Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 So I woke up and started up Steam then restarted it and it updated, CPU problem is fixed now thanks to JoeR from Valve over at the Steam forums thank you. BACK TO FM YEAH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzone Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Re-installed steam didnt work out for me Actually the problem doesnt seem to be CPU-usage, its more like FM eating all the memory when trying to launch (FM using 2Ghz of my 4Ghz) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have 8 cores... Is that saying that to run fm and steam as well as OS that the system only needs 25% of the available processing power?

elbryan Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Well.. it's a little bit different. The thing is that these programs are not covering all the available processing units. Furthermore the OS, once loaded, resides in the memory and there's no actual process which is needed to consume the CPU (in a sense). It will take five years to me to explain this in detail.

ricky9 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Yeah just to confirm the CPU issue has now been fixed on Steam. Mine still isn't back to normal. Even before I get to an actual game it's running at nearly 170% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilljons Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I seem to have the right build of Steam but it still seems incredibly sluggish and ive had two "crashes" we're the comp just go bananas and steam close down and little bit later fm closes down, and all my progress is lost even with auto saves.

Moutardbrookes Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Still not working for me. Not sure when steam is going to be fixed but its a joke all round between SI and Steam.

ferrando Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I post this in another thread, seems that this one is more popular. Until early this week I was a happy manager of a small Chilean team, now I can not enter FM12 in my MAC. I have deleted steam with appcleaner now three times, re-downloading FM the same amount of times, and the game refuses to start. I only see the initial flash screen, but when it is about to show the main screen (the one with new game, load game, etc) the only thing I got is an screen that says "Loading" in a bunch of languages. As you can see in http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/193/fm2012.png/ The CPU usage of FM is 110%! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

obinna Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Thought I was the only one. I have an i5 processor and 8GB of ram on my macbook pro and my FM crashes regularly (usually when using the match engine but sometimes just browsing). I think the problem is with Steam though, b/c I've started to notice that Steam usually closes shortly before it crashes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekul785 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Is there any more news with this? I updated my Steam a few days ago after not playing FM for a couple of months, and my FM pops up with a launch message when I try to open it, but this only flashes up for about a second, and then nothing else happens.

SI Staff Ant Farley Posted May 11, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted May 11, 2012 Closing this down now as the original issue has long been sorted. Any individual issues should be posted in the Mac Specific Issues area of the bug's forum. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
