heathxxx Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi, am trying to install 9.2 patch but the patch fails at item 137. Unfortunately, once I've tried installing the patch and it fails, I can't open the game again, thus I have to uninstall and reinstall the whole game over again. Have done this twice now. Could this simply be down to a possible "blip" in my internet connection whilst downloading all 219mb of the patch? Perhaps a file within the patch has been corrupted during transfer? Unfortunately my only means of reasonably fast internet is where I live in rural Spain is a 3G connection, on a laptop, in the middle of an olive grove. The connection can fluctuate quite alot. Anyone else have problems patching? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petez Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 In the second game of season, at the end of my second game my computer crashed, now when i go on and try and replay the match it locks up the whole game, the only way i can get around this is to go on holiday, just seems to be a problem with the match itself. Quite frustrating as my assistant is useless and drew 0-0 with Middlesborough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilky Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I changed the view to windowed instead of full screen the last time that I was playing FM and didn't change it back when I exited the game. I've just tried to load the game back up but a message keeps appearing that says 'fm.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.' as well as asking me if I would like to send an error report. Does anyone know if this is because I didn't change back to full screen view? Also, is there any way of restoring full screen view without loading the game up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navigate to : “Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\ 3. Go into the “Sports Interactive” Folder. 4. Delete the settings folder found inside the “Football Manager 2009” Folder. Wndows Vista: 1. Click “Start” 2. Click your username on the start Menu 3. Click on “AppData” and then “Roaming” 4. Go into the “Sports Interactive” Folder 5.

I've had to do a few reinstalls just to get the game to work again, as the unfinished patch has obviously overwritten important data. I'll give it a good few goes as you suggest, but otherwise I may just wait until the 3rd patch and take my laptop (which is not what I use for FM but just for the net), to a WiFi hotspot where I'll get a steady connection for the download. On a strange note, for some reason now when I close FM09, Windows Media Centre "starts". Baffling. On the one hand I have to say that although I've not had any of the problems many have experienced to install or activate, the "out-of-the-box" version of FM09 with regards to crashes, lockups, etc... has to be the worst so far. On the other hand though, I've nothing but praise for the SI staff regarding the support and information offered in the forums. Never with any other game I've purchased, have I ever seen such a level of interaction via official forums, from the games producers. Big thumbs up to SI for that.

If it's software error you should be able to find out the cause by going into control panel, administrative tools, event viewer - it'll most likely appear under 'critical errors' and the time will be the time it shut down. If there's nothing there I'd suggest it's the temperature and you just have to try and keep it a bit cooler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnbvcxz Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Firstly, I'm running the game on a mac. The problem is that I used the data editor to alter a transfer budget (stupid I know). I later deleted the database I'd saved. Now when I attempt to open the game it won't work - It just produced a box with this "The application Football Manager 2009 v 9 . 0 . 0 f 23552 quit unexpectedly".

mr_legalize Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 My whole game has been destroyed by the patch 3.0. Originally I didnt want to download it but was automatically updated by steam. I wanted to play a new game with the 2.0 patch but it was all different to the previous version.(set stats for certain staff opposed to random etc etc) I uninstalled my FM and then reinstalled. However by doing this through steam I had all the patches automatically put onto my FM. Then I decided to delete steam from my computer and install FM the other way. I have done this and FM default patch runs fine. I went online to download patch 2.0 (bittorrent) and now I cannot play with this patch. Please can someone help me!!! Can I load steam up and again and how can I install FM to be at the default stage and not automatically update??. i.e. only update with the patches I download. Can someone tell me how to correct the FM currently installed so that I can play with the 2.0 patch? When I start my FM the msg below comes up before it loads up. Please help as as you can tell I am not technical and just want to manage my team. --------------------------- Warning --------------------------- Could not use database location '/c:/program files/steam/steamapps/common/football manager 2009/data/updates/update-920/db/920' - reverting to the default location --------------------------- OK --------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
