[conshaldo_bonaldo]

my installing of the patch gets near the end and then says out of memory, what can i do?

[Wayne\'o]

Tanks for the help yesturday, i had my pc overclocked and after reading another thread about cash dumps, i thought may be it was my pc playing up, i since set my bios back to normal and thus far using the standerd skin i had no problems with crashes or graphics for 4 or 5 hours straight gaming...

[Steve Cox]

I get an error message stating

"Error reading file block 305"

Plesae help, i cannot update the game now

I downloaded the rapidshare PC patch

This is usually a symptom of having a corrupt download. Please try downloading again (Perhaps with the torernt) or try one of the other links in this thread and give it another go.

[AlvaroPDK]

Hi.

Sorry to tell you your graphics card is old and the drivers are very much out of date.

I'm not too sure if your card is going to work however I do advise you update your graphics card drivers and then try the game again. You can do this via this link:

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/radeon-prer300-xp.aspx

You need to download and install the Catalyst software and let it update your drivers.

[Panathinaikos13]

many injuries with the new patch . I had less with the previous update .

[Pete_SC]

In Game Questions

I have started a new game with the v9.3.0 patch, loaded english, (BSP and up) scottish (div 3), and other european leagues and put reputation to automatic, one season in and i wasnt offered anything and also not one conference manager was sacked through the season (only the 4 relegated clubs sacked their managers at the end of the season)

Surely this is a bug as you'd thnk at least 2-3 managers would get the chop in the BSP, as in the rest of the leagues there was the usual managerial merry go round. Is v9.3.0 buggered?

Cheers

[langston316]

HI everytime i click on something on my created fm games it keeps coming up saying XML parsing error and below that it says not well formed (invalid token) at line 1 of profile18.xml can u please help me solve this as it is spoiling my enjoyment of the game

Thanks:D

[pauly1616]

hi. i have radeon 9200, 3d options are available to me now but when i press it i get a bunch of black and white lines in the match screen.. with sound but no picture..

[ZouK]

I'm having a problem, maybe a bug. In this menu, nothing shows up...

It was suposed to show, for example, ip, the users...etc etc

Any ideas to solve this ?

I tryed to change to original skin, and problem remains..

[kashmirshazad]

has the editor problem been mentioned in here already?

I cant create and edit apps, or future transfers for created players

I tryed to change to original skin, and problem remains..

Skins from previous versions can be broken with the new patch becuase of added functions.

And sadly that can affect the normal skins as well.

First thing to do is to try and reload your skin.

Go into:

Preferences -> Display and sound

And then click the tick box next to "always reload skin on confirmation"

Then click confirm.

If that doesn't work shut down the game and delete your skin cache.

Q - How do I delete my cache files?

A - This has changed slightly from Football Manager 2008. For Football Manager 2009 please use the following instructions:

Windows XP:

1. Open “My Computer”

2. Navigate to : “Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\

3. Go into the “Sports Interactive” Folder.

4. Go Into the “Football Manager 09” Folder.

5. Delete the "Cache" folder inside.

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. Go into the “Football Manager 09” Folder.

6. Delete the "Cache" Folder inside.

Mac OSX

1. Open Finder.

2. Select <User>

3. Navigate to Library\Caches\Sports Interactive

4. Delete the the "Sports Interactive” Folder.

5. In the Library folder find the folder called "Preferences"

6. Delete the "Sports Interactive" Folder.

DO NOT Delete the folder called "Football Manager 2009 Certificate" as it will cause problems with your game.

Once you've done that repeat the first "reload your skin" instructions and try again.

If that doesn't work then you will need to uninstall and re-install the game without applying your custom skin and wait until the people who create the skins update them.

[Steve Cox]

has the editor problem been mentioned in here already?

I cant create and edit apps, or future transfers for created players

We are currently looking into this here.

[Gogol Bordello]

well, i'm 'New network client' and I can't add new user so I can pick a team:confused:

[Steve Cox]

hi. i have radeon 9200, 3d options are available to me now but when i press it i get a bunch of black and white lines in the match screen.. with sound but no picture..

Hi.

Could be your video ram is too low to handle the 3d OR you need to update your drivers.

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/radeon-prer300-xp.aspx

Is the catalyst software (for XP-Home users)

once you've run that try again.

[Steve Cox]

bumpcupcakescopterzaururus rex

Does this happen on the original skin?

Does this happen after following the advice I gave to ZouK a few posts up?

[zicco]

Edited: Not the place for this discussion.

[zicco]

I dont know why new created players are without face,sometimes u can see hear,somtemis they are invisible:))It was for me on 9.2.0 and it happening on 9.3.0. Is it my skin problem,but it happening on original FM 09 skin...

Follow the skin cache advice given above please.

[Steve Cox]

I agree 100% there are to many injures on 9.3.0:(

This is not the place for injury discussion.

[ridiniho]

i downloaded the 9.3.0 patch and updated it then went to load my game now it dont work and it comes.

now it comes up.

Cannot run game:failed to set up graphics system

[andym78]

Is there any way of going back to 9.2.0 and carrying on a game saved using that patch? Steam automatically downloaded 9.3.0 but after a few games it seems to have affected my team for the worse so I quit the game without saving. I notice if I start a new game I can select 9.2.0

[Michael F]

Standard tech response, but have you tried rebooting?

[dan99]

Steam keeps saying its server is too busy, I've been trying to get the patch for the past hour...

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.

[England123]

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...?

[zicco]

I did everything u said:apply for "always reload skin.." and deleted cache file,but it dosent changed..players are without a face,not all,but those who were .Maybe i need to reinstall the game,or is it some other probs?

[Michael F]

Standard tech response, but have you tried rebooting?

yeah cheers, any idea Steve Cox?

[Rune_C]

I have just reinstalled FM, and deleted the cache. Then I installed the patch. Dont know how to put this in english; The match-view (both 2d and 3d) is very "jumping". I didnt have this problem while playing with the 9.1.0 patch. I have a Macbook btw.

Is there any solution for this problem? I dont wanna go back to the old patch.

[jameo]

Like Ridininho, I installed the game and it ran fine but since installing the official 9.0.3 patch i get this message on start up,

Cannot run game:failed to set up graphics system

Anyone have any ideas? I've already updated my graphics card with latest drivers,if my graphics were a problem though surely the game would not have run in the first place?

[Dave21]

It sounds like the download may be corrupt, can you try downloading and installing the patch from here please http://torrents.sigames.com:7000/torrents/fm2009_930-mac.dmg.torrent?5B8D3770ABEEC8FF06BC0EB28B24897C0551B0B6

I tried this download but still had the same problem, it comes up with this error message:

Football Manager 2009 v9.3.0 Patch cannot be installed on this computer.Could not find specified message for index 0

[almir_metallica_4ever]

Hi! I have a question. I downloaded the patch and i installed it. Then it required me activation. I didn't activate it via Steam, but via Uniloc. What should I do now??

[ridiniho]

hi Jeamo did you manage to sort out the game with the 9.3.0 patch

[Bardi Golriz]

i downloaded the 9.3.0 patch and updated it then went to load my game now it dont work and it comes.

now it comes up.

Cannot run game:failed to set up graphics system

Have you installed the Microsoft DirectX SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=5493F76A-6D37-478D-BA17-28B1CCA4865A&displaylang=en)?

I don't believe it would work, if it was saved. However, if you didn't save it, it's worth making a copy of it, before giving it a run.

Skins from previous versions can be broken with the new patch becuase of added functions.

And sadly that can affect the normal skins as well.

First thing to do is to try and reload your skin.

Go into:

Preferences -> Display and sound

And then click the tick box next to "always reload skin on confirmation"

Then click confirm.

If that doesn't work shut down the game and delete your skin cache.

Once you've done that repeat the first "reload your skin" instructions and try again.

If that doesn't work then you will need to uninstall and re-install the game without applying your custom skin and wait until the people who create the skins update them.

I have done it all, tried everything even uninstall and re-install. I`m using the default skin.

The problem remains.

I have just reinstalled FM, and deleted the cache. Then I installed the patch. Dont know how to put this in english; The match-view (both 2d and 3d) is very "jumping". I didnt have this problem while playing with the 9.1.0 patch. I have a Macbook btw.

Is there any solution for this problem? I dont wanna go back to the old patch.

No one here that can help me with this problem? I had same problem with the 9.2.0 patch btw. The game is just not playable because of this.

Ok, then... did the only thing I could do; downloaded 9.1.0 again and continued with my old save. This patch works just fine, so dont tell me that Im the one doing something wrong here, SIgames mods. And your silence to my question back up my opinion on the case. I hope you make a better patch for Mac next time. If not, my 11 years of CM/ FM-player may come to an end

Thanks Bardi

I downloaded and installed Microsoft DirectX SDK and now the game starts up and seems to run fine with the patch. Thanks

Im just amazed over the lack of support in this thread

[del21]

Alrighty. I downloaded the update and now the writing is white? How do i get rid of this? There isnt any skins in the skin folder.

[swifty1988]

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...?

[Dave21]

I tried this download but still had the same problem, it comes up with this error message:

Football Manager 2009 v9.3.0 Patch cannot be installed on this computer.Could not find specified message for index 0

Can someone please help me with this?

[damienroden]

This isn't a problem with the patch but I didnt want to start a new thread. If I want to download the game, do I just go to the digital download sticky ,download the game and then pay for an activation code? . Do I then get the full game? Also I will be getting a new pc in a few months so do I burn the setup.exe to disk to keep my game?
