zacmonder Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi there, I have just been trying to get FM09 working on my Samsung NC10 via Steam, having successfully installed and played the game on my desktop months ago. I managed to install and activate the product just fine, but when I click on Launch, the sandtimer briefly appears but then nothing happens and the game doesn't load. I have noticed also that fm.exe remains in the processes that a running, and actually to end the process before I can try launching again. Still no luck. Any ideas? My laptop runs XP.

messi Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi I'm controlling growing anger here so bear with me... In November I bought FM 2009 and got a refund after getting severely infuriated by the activation issues. However, this morning I decided to rebuy 2009 due to 2008 boredom. However, I am still having problems. I own a Compaq Presario with no internet access so I had no alternative but to activate by phone. I complete the installation period and I get the message "Installation Complete!" I then click on the FM09 game icon to open it up and begin playing. Guess what? I get the "SoftAnchor" screen and it is asking me to begin the whole process again. What do I do? This is infuriating, I have just finished GCSE's and would really like to be able to play the game that I've spent good money on. Please help. And SI, for god's sake, please, please, please, please,please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please,please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please please, please, please, please,please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please,please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please don't have activation in FM 2010!!!!!!!!

Bolsson Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 First i want to appologize for my English, hope you can understand anyway, im Swedish. I have a huge problem, i have read the "knows problems thread" but nowere is there an answer of this, if there is somewhere, please link it to me. I have searched the webb and asked in the Swedish forums but no answers were to be found. I have bought every single game in the series and i have never had problems until now. Now to the problem: A few days ago when i was launching the game i get the message "FM 09" is already running every single time, when is claery wasn`t. I then disaded to reinstall the game but now i dont get it to start, every time "Football manager 09 has stopped work and windows are searching for a solution" comes up. I have tried everything, installed via steam and not, tried to installed my friends Cd but it doesnt work, my cd does work on his computer thoe! I noticed that the FM icon isnt the usuall when you click on it, noe it is a "tools icon". The installation says that the installation is finished but have some failes, read the Log. When i read the log its 1 minor fail in the : com.sigames.InstallAnywhere.WindowsGameExplorer Status:FEL Ytterligare information:FEL - class com.sigames.InstallAnywhere.WindowsGameExplorer NonfatalInstallException RegisterWithGameExplorer() failed: Failed to add game to Game Explorer I have Vista. Someone, please! Well, 30h later and still no reply, another day wasted trying to get this game running, i have searched on the SI Forum but no solution for my problem. there is nothing wrong with my computer, bought it the same day FM was released, Bummer! I have set Windows to a pevious point when FM was working, but now it doesnt. All other programs runs smoth as a newoiled engine, Estside Hochey manager and FIFA, but not FM. I have tried to delete all the Cache and Documentsfiles. BUT IT STILL DONT WORK. same fail every single time i try to install. Its rubbsih! give me a tip of what to do, or else i will demand a full refund and boycott this game for all eternaty! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted June 18, 2009 Administrators Share Posted June 18, 2009 Could you send a copy of your dxdiag to neil.brock[at]sigames.com and I'll look into it for you? You can get your dxdiag by doing the following: You can find this by going to Start -> Run -> Type Dxdiag Then click 'Save All Information' and you can save the information as a text file Let me know, thanks.

Well as the disc works on your friends PC, there is clearly something wrong with your system that is causing this issue. Despite it not running from games explorer have you tried running the game direct from the exe? This can be done by going to C: Program Files - Sports Interactive - Football Manager 2009 - Fm2009.exe If this doesn't work I would suggest completely uninstalling the game once again, then running it without the disc by downloading it from Steam and then activating the game: You can download the game in Steam without using the disc using the game code you have from your purchased game. Download Steam from here - http://store.steampowered.com/about/ Install Steam on your computer Once installed, open up Steam Go to My Games Go to Activate a product on Steam Enter your Activation Code found on the back of the manual. (Use http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/ to see you got all the 0's and o's right) Steam should now download your game. Let me know how you get on. Thanks.

Administrators Neil Brock Posted June 18, 2009 Administrators Share Posted June 18, 2009 Okay, there is a way of doing this, if you can access a PC with internet access and have a USB stick or some other way of transferring files to your non-internet connected laptop: Please download the fix here: http://www.footballmanager.com/fixv3.zip this is v8.0 - we haven't changed the url as other posts are linking To use the fix, please do the following: 1) Download the file to your desktop 2) Unzip the contents of the file - You must unzip ALL of the files... (ActivatorDLL.dll, FootballManager2009.jpg and RunMe.exe) 3) Click RunMe.exe 4) Enter your license key under the panel that reads "Step 1" 5) Press the "Save" button 6) Save the "Request.txt" file to your desktop 7) In Internet Explorer - go to http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorin...eactivate.aspx - You may also click the link under the panel that says "Step 2" 8) In the web page that you have opened, please use the "Browse" button to upload "Request.txt" to the server 9) Press "Upload" and upload the file to the server 10) The server will then ask you to save a file called "Response.txt" 11) Save this file to your desktop 12) Next, go back to the fix program. Under the panel that says "Step 3" press the "Load" button and then find Response.txt on your desktop, or wherever you saved it to in step 11, for Vista users the default is the ‘download’ folder in Users Documents, for XP users the default is typically the desktop. 13) Once you have loaded the file - the application will tell you if you have been successful. 14) If you are successful - Please start your game. 15) If you are not successful - please email us the error code at errors@uniloc.com and we will continue to try and help you. If you can manage this your game should run, please let me know how you get on. Thanks.

bardock Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Does anyone have a solution for the whole changing view thing during matches. It gets sort of frustrating. The view keeps on changing from the 2D (the one I prefer) to TV view 3D at different times. Most times before the match but it happens at halftime in full time every now and then too.

Twiss Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hi, I don't know if anyone can help me. I am trying to play my saved games from my XP computer on my Vista laptop. I have FM09 and the 9.3.0 patch installed on both machines. but when I try to play the game, it freezes while loading. I have read somewhere that you can try to create the same name directory that my XP installation has, but Vista doesnt allow for the Documents and Settings directory. It uses Users instead. So anyway, I created the same username in the Users directory, and copied all Sports Interactive contents to it, but it still crashes. Even if I change the default directory in FM, it still crashes.

TOUGHGUY Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I'm experiencing severe lag in menus. The selection highlight trails the cursor by half a second, the menus don't respond or do so with a delay. It doesn't happen all the time but quite often nonetheless. Now my system specs (athlon 3000+, 2 gigs of ram) are nothing to write home about but I'd expect problems to occur during a match or while calculating things, not when simply browsing through the game. Anyone else had this problem/knows a solution? I'd appreciate even a pointer in the right direction, keywords such as slowdown, lag or menu aren't exactly the greatest thing to feed the search function if one's looking for a specific answer.

Administrators Neil Brock Posted June 22, 2009 Administrators Share Posted June 22, 2009 Well first of all you need to make sure you've downloaded the correct patch. If you are running FM via Steam it'll patch automatically, if it's via the disc you can download it via this link on rapidshare - http://rapidshare.de/files/45876435/FM2009_v9.3.0_Patch_Installer.exe Once downloaded, you can run the .exe file and it'll find the game and all you'll have to do is click the 'update' button.

Administrators Neil Brock Posted June 26, 2009 Administrators Share Posted June 26, 2009 Yes I would suggest downloading said file and moving it onto disc. Whilst doing this I would also suggest doing the same for the 9.3 patch which I would very much recommend for the game.

kalmfang Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 ok, so i bought the game finally a few days ago and i have it installed properly as far as i can tell i had a problem getting it to accept the key but the fix fixed that for me the problem is that whenever i try to start up fm09, my computer turns off at first i thought it was a power failure but it happens every time i try to start the game i have updated all the drivers and my computer meets the system requirements i have tried it without the patch and with the patch and it makes no difference and i have looked everywhere for an answer but it seems like nobody else has this problem well nobody apart from one guy who had a really old card i only got mine last year though and it is well fit for fm09 so please, i am desperate now, can anyone help a fellow manager out?

TOUGHGUY Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Are you running any programs in the background? Also do you have the 9.3 patch installed? Let me know, thanks. Nothing in the background bar the usual windows processes, not even potential resource hogs like AV software or firewall. And yes, I have the 9.3 patch. I use a custom skin but the problem appears even with the default one. Sometimes the menus are completely fine, but I was unable to pinpoint when or why specifically. In fact right now they are okay – which is a bit puzzling since I have got a ton of FF tabs open and I'm installing something so the resource usage is high. Not the most useful of descriptions, I know. And considering it doesn't seem to be directly linked with memory/cpu load I don't really expect a magical solution. Unless it's a well known issue and someone has dealt with it in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHW1 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hi, I'm new here. After reading through the best part of 51 pages, I am still no better off in solving the MAJOR problem I am having with FM2009. I installed the game last week (through steam). It got to just before season kick-off but it was running extremely slowly. So I bought an additional 512mb DDR RAM. ( I only had 512 ddr ram prior ). I started a new game as I made some changes in the data editor and downloaded a facepack and logo pack through FM Base. Things were working fine until the first friendly game. I keep getting kicked out either during or after the first friendly (sometimes it gives me tillthe second friendly). This is extremely frustrating as I have spent HOURS searching the internet trying to find a solution and no-one seems to have an answer although its obviously a common problem! I have uninstalled (complete uninstall (except deleting registries as I have no idea how)) the game about 12 times!! I have tried installing with steam, without steam, deleting everthing from the apps folder (settings, cache etc). I have tried a new game with small medium and large base. Without Italian Serie c (aparantly a problem). I have checked the RAM and that seems to be fine. I only get problems with FM2009. I really have come to the end of my patience as I have wasted hours without success. I could really do with some help and i need to know where to find the solution and how to carry out a solution. I would appreciate a quick response as im about 10 mins away from carrying out GBH on my pc my computer specs are Pentium 4 3.0 GHZ 120GB hard disk 7200 rpm ( I have 54 GB FREE ) 512MB DDR memory ( I have also fitted an extra 512mb so 1GB essentially ). SIS 661FX graphics cip on board ( also recently updated that driver ). Im not sure how to tell exactly but I seem to be running microsoft. NET framwork 3.5 SP1. In my control panel (add/remove) there is the above and also microsoft. NET framwork 2.0 service pack 2 and 3.0 service pack 2. I have XP home service pack 3. If you can please help me and let me know what I need to do and how to do it. Many Thanks Aaron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
