Justino Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Pirating Football Manager or paying £30 of my hard earned money for Steam to tell me on one day off that their servers are too busy and I can't play at the only day off I have at work If I came on here and told everyone I pirated the game, I would get banned and probably given a whole load of abuse (rightly so) however now I've come on and will tell everyone I have paid for a game I know haven't been able to play, will anything get done about it ? I know it's a steam issue, but SI felt they would be adequate to handle these issues Instead of focusing on Internet thieves maybe Miles and the rest can focus some time to those who have very little time off and have legally bought the game. Will anything get done?...I doubt it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomit Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 you don't need net connection to play, only to activate. In short, you only need net connection for a minute, that's it. You don't need net connection again untill there's a patch to be downloaded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justino Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 That's all well and good but at the moment, it says steam servers are too busy to handle my request Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Have you already installed the game and are trying to access it after installation, or trying to initially install? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Give this a try. Verify Game Cache: Load Steam From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu. Select the Local files tab and click the ‘VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE…’ button. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes. Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit. Then try to see if the game will work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 My advice to anyone who does not like steam. Activate the game online, put steam in offline mode, put an icon on your desktop. Forget you have steam and launch game from desktop icon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGull8559 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 This message normally means try again in about 3-5 minutes. Using steam since 2005 every time i get this message on a busy release day i normally wait 5 minutes/restart steam problem solved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 My advice to anyone who does not like steam. Activate the game online, put steam in offline mode, put an icon on your desktop. Forget you have steam and launch game from desktop icon. this. you only need to be online to activate the game and then you can forget it forever if you wish... although i do suggest going online to update!
