dandannieldanok Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 I've got some fooking orange box in the bottom right hand corner in my game.I don't know what it is or how to get rid of it. Shift and Tab maybe
Jack Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 Shift and Tab maybe You are a fooking legend sir. I was almost resorting to lobbing the laptop out the window
Ashley Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 If I was to buy FM09 and install through steam, could I then install it on another PC?
Lovejoy Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 If you install a game with STEAM, do you have to be online to play it?
dandannieldanok Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 If you install a game with STEAM, do you have to be online to play it? I think you have to be connected to the internet yes, although don't hold me to that.
Lovejoy Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 I think you have to be connected to the internet yes, although don't hold me to that. Righty cheers. Anyway of installing it so you don't have to be connected? Only there's maintenance work going on where I live and every night there is no internet connection. And the buggar still isn't bloody running yet . Never had this much fuss with a game before.
Lovejoy Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 If you install with Uniloc can you run the program offline?
Maybes Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 I was thinking about this Steam application. It says you can log on anywhere and run your FM from the steam application without a disk? So surely, if you gave your username to your mate and they logged into your account they would have the game for free?
RowlattsFox Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 I can't seem to activate the game I've never used Steam before so maybe I'm doing it wrong. I click Launch game and it takes me to this online activation page where i have to enter product key and then it says I can't do it because I'm not connected to the internet, but I am. Getting annoyed now.

Getting annoyed now. In exactly the same boat. Hissy fit coming on ! I've also installed it with Uniloc and it also requires the bloody online activation .
Darkzzz_ Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 In exactly the same boat. Hissy fit coming on !I've also installed it with Uniloc and it also requires the bloody online activation . I am at this stage as well at the moment. Pissing me off in a massive way. Anyone actually got any info.... I hear it is a major server issue.
Lovejoy Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 I am at this stage as well at the moment.Pissing me off in a massive way. Could it be that too many people are trying to activate theirs at once? The website is also proving hard to access, I'm guessing that all those who can't get theirs working are going on there too.

Looks like it will be a long wait then for something we have bloody paid for. Crazy.
Lovejoy Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 I still find it unbelievable that you have to both register the game online, and have to be online to play it. This will be what's causing the backlog. SI seem to have cocked this one up royally . Oh well, looks like I'll be forced to socialise tonight, was looking forward to a night of FM .
dandannieldanok Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 Sorry to hear people are having problems, I thought the installation process was confusing but it only took about 20 minutes to be up and running. I must have been fortunate. My activation code worked fine. I was thinking about this Steam application. It says you can log on anywhere and run your FM from the steam application without a disk? So surely, if you gave your username to your mate and they logged into your account they would have the game for free? Well I've just tried without the disk and it works, so maybe. Would be pretty poor on the manufacturer's part if you can use it on other computers because it would put plenty of people off from buying it.

I'm connected at all times so I can't tell you whether it does or not, sorry.
Samilktray Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 For ****s sake I didnt even want this game, but now all of a sudden im having urges to go buy it.

Getting annoyed now. Really pissed off doing the same for me. Didn't want to use Steam, so used the other option. Utter bullcrap just for some FM Live thing I'll never use and to stop pirates. Appears SI Games servers can't cope.
dandannieldanok Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 Loving Man City already, only been in the job a few virtual days £73m transfer budget to get a minimum of UEFA cup qualification through league finish, I'll take that
Lovejoy Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 Loving Man City already, only been in the job a few virtual days £73m transfer budget to get a minimum of UEFA cup qualification through league finish, I'll take that Please, don't .
Fox You Forest Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 I'm installing now, No problems so far.
dandannieldanok Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 Please, don't . I'm sorry but I'm enjoying it already. Also, don't fear people if you didn't enjoy the crappy demo, the real thing is excellent. Unlike the demo, this has no silly little bugs and runs nice and quickly.
coale39 Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 Just get a warez version. I have for years. No steam crap for me.
Fox You Forest Posted 14 November 2008 Posted 14 November 2008 Seems i have run into the same problem as you guys.
