simple question; on a mac, where i do instal the patch to? because i have installed it, open the game and it says 9.0...?

Dont expect fast answers in this thread, aspesially regarding Mac :( Seems like the SI-guys dont bother or dont know anytning about it. But I can help you I think. Just install the patch to "Programs (its probably not the right name in english)/ Sports Interactive/ FM 2009"

In other words.... dont install the file into the data-folder etc.

DONE !

simply install 9.2 patch over 9.3 and load a 9.2 save game. Even if it is a Steam version it works like a charm !!

Now I have my 9.2 back and perfectly working as 9.2 !!!!

( I had set FM to start without Steam of course )

i have tried that and stll no luck.

When you said you installed the patch, did you double-click on the patch after downloading it to start up the patching process? Or did you simply download the patch and placed it into your FM 2009 folder?

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGH!

Through some miracle, I managed to get Newcastle in the title race. Then, I install this patch and:

i) I have to play 2 games when most of my team (quite a lot of U21's) are away on international duty.

ii) The injury problem HAS RETURNED. Back to the out-of-the-box levels for me. 5 first team players out for a month each, all in a week (2 in one game, 3 in another).

Ridiculous! Really has knackered my chances of a sublime title! I'll never catch those Mancs now!

What a ridiculous patch this has been.

Towards end of the season, still in with a shout for the title......BANG! All best players injured, every game subs used up by fresh injuries and my coaches are now all **** too.

Brilliant, well done SI. Those beta testers, QA or whatever else really are worth what you pay them.......

Hi.

Since installing the patch, making a new game takes ages. I have a pretty nifty pc, and starting a new save used to take a few minutes. Now it takes over half an hour, and says "not responding" the whole time its starting one :(

Anyone else finding this?

My fm was working fine with the old patch but i've installed the 9.3.0 patch and now I can't start a new game. FM goes into not responding mode on small, medium and large databases and now an Application Error msg comes up after 15 mins saying = "A serious error was encountered and the application will close. AN error file has been generated".

Has any1 else got this or anyone got any ideas how to fix this???

Hello i have 2 problems:

1. After I've installed the 9.3.0 patch I want to activate the game by phone but I only have one option: online activation, without phone activation.

2. When i try to uninstall the game it gives the following error (and not only on my machine but on several of my friends): "Could not find java virtual machine to load. You may need to reinstall a supported java virtual machine". I've updated to the latest java software but I still get the same error.

Hey,

Currently I'm moderator of a forum focussed on Football Manager somewhere out there, and one of the issues I have been unable to solve is this (it has been coming up quite a few times now):

While installing the new patch, some of the member had to fill in their CD key again. So they grabbed their booklet, looked at the backed and put their code in the required fields. But after that the program said the code was already in use. So they cannot play their games. According to the problem descriptions the problem did not occur on their 9.1.0 or 9.2.0 versions.

So far I haven't been able to discover a problem for this anywhere around the net, and people seem unsure as to how to solve this.

Perhaps someone here does have an idea?

Cheers,

ViNCeNZo

Can anyone help?

I've run the 9.0.3 update, as I ran the other two, and it loaded on fine, but when I go to start new game, the option is not there for the 9.0.3 update?

2prel28.png

Is it something to do with the fact that the 9.0.3 folder for some reason is not in the same place as the other updates?

yeah cheers, any idea Steve Cox?

Make sure you're on an admin account.

Make sure FM.exe isn't being used while you're updating (use task manager to check)

If it's not try running again.

If it fails re-download the patch and try again. It could be a problem with the download.

When you install you need to navigate to the correct folder where your install is.

Normally this is:

\applications\sports interactive\football manager 2009

And then you run the update there.

You can check if it's worked by going into the above folder and clicking on the FM.app file it should show you it's 9.3.0

hi, thanks for your reply.

When i get to the install part it says: INF Error. Video Driver not found.

Try to setup with a standard VGA driver before continuing.

So you're trying to install the driver and it gives you that message?

I'm not sure what to advise here it may be an idea to ask AMD themselves.

Is there any reason 9.3.0 should require more memory/processor usage than 9.2.0?

My previous game is a fair bit slower than it was. The new game I started, with the same DB(large); same players added from nations(15 or so...) and same active leagues(8 from 3 nations) as before, is 2.5 to 3 times slower. It is also more prone to stalling, not crashing just not responding for a while.

I am playing windowed with an edited custom skin(darkhorizons - with a few tweaks) but have tried it in default with no noticable improvement.

Any ideas? Thanx in advance.

Just starting a new save on a friends PC now, and its the same. Takes an absolute age to start it up, then ages to creat the database, while its doing it too, it says its not responding and shows a white screen the whole time. Its been about 10 minutes making it now. The PC is a speedy thing too so its not down to hardware.

Could you post a copy of yoir dxdiag here?

Is this the first patch you have put on the game or have you patched it previously?

G'day mate, I'm getting the same problem. I've gone straight from 9.0.0 to 9.0.3 (kept forgetting to upgrade!) & now it's says it can't load the graphics.

Game was planning well (not great due to machine) but now can't start at all!

Did you need me to post my dxdiag as well?

alternatively, to save using up a heap of space on this forum, can you please tell me what you're looking for and I can have a look through it first?

Thanks mate.
