Greig1911 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 As per the thread title... does steam store the saved games? The reason I ask is, my FM11 laptop recently suffered a hard drive failure so as a result I had to get a brand new hard drive. I installed through steam and play through steam so if I reinstall through steam will I be able to retrieve my game or will I have to go through the process of getting the game file off of the old hard drive? Thanks in advance Greig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Greig Unfortunately it doesn't. Steam Cloud doesn't work with Football Manager due to the size of the save games. Steam Cloud is only compatible with games where the save game size is less than 100mb, while most FM saves are larger than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Are you sure it was the hard drive that failed? The info is likely to be intact. When you buy your new laptop make sure it has an expansion slot of another hard drive, then get the technician to put the old drive in as a secondary drive, you should be able to retrieve your files + you'll have a back up drive on your computer now.
