sportsfan67016 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hi All, 1.Im curious if most people play the game in online or offline mode? If im only playing the game myself (not playing multiplayer network games or with friends) what would I be gaining by playing online? Is it just Achievements and are the achievements worth bothering with? 2.The concern I have about playing through Steam online is I have read several posts on here that its always advisable when playing Football Manager to turn off your Antivirus real time scanning as it can corrupt the saved games (player histories etc). So if I turned off McAfee real time scanning and played FM online through Steam..Wouldn't that put my PC at risk of malware etc? (if you are playing in offline mode when you turn off real time scanning it would not be an issue) Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MECAP Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 don't turn off antivirus, just exclude FM directory and fm.exe from AV real time scans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfan67016 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Is it just the FM directory and fm.exe that need to be excluded from real time scans? What about the Steam directory and the SportsInteractive folder that are created in the personal documents folder? Im guessing whem FM2016 is installed it installs files all over the place..thats why Im asking about any others. Any idea how I do that on McAfee LiveSafe?

Maviarab. Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I don't exclude anything...never had a problem personally. I think a lot of this comes down to which software you use...lot of people play on laptops...and they are usually bundled with the crap that is Norton or McAffee....and people wonder why they have issues lol. As for Offline play...makes no difference really, next time you play online, your played time and achievements gained update automatically (though it will say any achievements gained offline were all got on the same day-the day you went online).

sportsfan67016 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Im using McAfee LiveSafe that comes with 3 years cover from Dell. It only seems to be Football Manager that has problems otherwise Im finding that McAfee is Ok for me. I didn't know that your achievements get updated even if you play offline. I thought you had to be playing online or achievements wouldn't be registered Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
