Bardi Golriz Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi Bardi,Thanks for your response, i've actually found a different solution. I've managed to get a loan of a relative's video card (an Nvidia Geforce 6600 with 256Mb RAM) and replaced mine and this appears to work fine. In the game i've now got to late August in my first season and played around 6 or 7 matches and the error has not happened once. I don't have to return the video card for a few days so i'll continue to test it for as long as possible. I've done nothing else other than install the card, i'm using the same drivers as was running the 8800GT and have done absolutely nothing else to the machine. With this in mind do you feel that this may be indicative of a faulty video card? The reason i ask is because the computer was only purchased in March this year and so is still under warranty. This is the error message i get when using the Geforce 8800GT: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293078 Thanks Quite possibly, Dalglish. Were you ever experiencing any display related issues pre-FM 09? The same drivers are working because they're compatible with both graphics cards listed - you can see when selecting the 'Products Supported' tab at http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_178.24_whql.html.

Dalglish! Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Quite possibly, Dalglish.Were you ever experiencing any display related issues pre-FM 09? The same drivers are working because they're compatible with both graphics cards listed - you can see when selecting the 'Products Supported' tab at http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_178.24_whql.html. Not really but i don't play an awful lot of games. Certainly not had any problems playing video material either on the internet or from DVDs. The only other games i'd installed are quite old (Deus Ex) and they seem fine. Yes i had looked into the compatability of the driver for both cards. I feel that if the older card works without updating the drivers then there can't be a problem with the game and these particular drivers. Do you feel it worth me chasing the manufacturer of the computer for a replacement video card? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

janesy20 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 hi guys, bought the game on the first day, went through the same issues as everyone else and eventually got the game loaded and got to say it's great. just writing to say as i can't get on the bug reporting folder of this website that i've been in 2 seasons and ever since i've started i've had at least 2 injuries every game since i started, which has culminated at the moment in me having 9 players unavailable, i know that some teams get hit from injuries but not sure if this was a bug or not? i know alot of stick has been handed out to you guys but i understand that it's not personally your fault and i for one appreciate the fact you're out here on the front line trying to ensure everyone gets the game running smoothly. please note 9 times out of 10 it's just gamers frustration and nothing personal. keep up the good work. janesy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjallen04 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 In order to be able to run FM 09 via your disc drive, you will need a DVD (and NOT CD) drive. This is the first game in the series to be released in DVD format.However, you could download the game via Steam, and then use the product key of the purchased FM 09 DVD to activate the game. i wish it was just the game i could'nt load but i can no longer play DVD's,CD's,or CD-ROMS!!,I tried using Steam for the demo and got no joy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finknottle Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Bardi et al........ I have just got my pc back after nine days, from having it checked out for any problems, for a second time, cost £36. It has come back as not having any faults and all appropriate drivers etc are up to date. My specifications are also as required [see previous posts]. I have just spent an hour looking through the forums to see if the problems of game freezing, crashing and causing errors and closing down, have been resolved. Apart from seeing somewhere that Paul Collyer has said that patch #2 may be out before Christmas, I can not find anything that helps. From this, do I assume that the same problems still exist within the game? I do not really want to reinstall the game for the third time only to find that it will continue throwing up the same problems as before. Has anyone seen anything that I may have missed, please?

When you believe that you will be able to arrange this mistake? I will be able to continue with my game? Can I extract the Series C1 in my initiated game?

This will definitely have been fixed in the second patch. As far as a release for this is concerned, the only information I can share is that it was stated elsewhere on the forums by Paul Collyer that the aim is to get it out before Christmas. Whether or not you'll be able to continue your saved game once you've installed the second patch, I'm not 100% sure, unfortunately. If you do start a new game without the Serie C, what I can guarantee is that the SAME crash will definitely not occur. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bardi Golriz Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I have Windows Vista. I clicks on my name from the start-menu, then Application Data, Roaming, but in the Roaming-folder I don't see FM09. I just find Microsoft and in the Microsoft-folder i find "Windows" and its nothing in the Windows-folder. Is it something wrong?:confused: Go to "C:\Users" and try to locate what you're supposed to be looking for manually. You should have at least a few different user accounts to choose from.

Bardi Golriz Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 hi. i bought this a few days but when i go to play the game, he goes down and open an window and says:Warning DirectSound Error: -2004287480 Please help me this is making me crazy This should fix the problem you've been having: I'm getting a message that says: "Direct Sound error -2004287480" when entering a match. Potential workaround: - Update your sound card drivers or disable in game sound. - To disable sound: - Go to the Preferences screen ('Options' -> 'Preferences'). - Go to the 'Display & Sound' section. - In the 'Sound Settings' area, deselect 'Play Sounds' and confirm your changes. - You should also ensure your DirectX is up to date. - Install the Microsoft DirectX re-distributable package from here: - Web Installer: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en - Full re-distributable: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en - Update the SoundDriver for your particular system (visit the system manufacturer website and check their support section on drivers for your particular system - See Useful Link below for common system websites) http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=74469 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardi Golriz Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hi there, I was just wondering if the 27th August 2009 bug will also be fixed in the next patch as I've not read (in the last 15pages at least) confirmation as to whether it would be or not...Since it seems to be quite a common issue I was hoping that it would be solved sooner rather than later as my game is un-playable at the moment. This issue will have been fixed in the second patch. The probability of being able to resume your saved game once you install it should be good, but not certain.

Nighthawk24 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I finally fixed my Data Editor by downloading the 2 programmes from Microsoft. Thank you very much for the tip:) However I now have another problem in the game: Since applying the 2 suggested programmes from Microsoft to fix the editor, the focus is a bit weird when playing the game: E.G: When I use the bars to set tactics they keep scrolling to the end of the bar even if I only click once and I cant write anything in "Search" without pressing enter each time I type in a letter. Although the "search"-bug is annoying, I can live with it, but not being able to set tactics due to the scrolling-bar problem, I cant really play the game right. Does anyone know how I can fix this, pls? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
