tambo67 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Guys i dunno what happened with my computer but fm stopped working so i had to delete all the files and start from scratch. It looked as if the game re-installed fine but when i tried to install the 8.02 update it won't work. As far as I know it's in the right folder etc. etc. but it's just not happening for me, had a bad day lol. I feel stupid for asking this cos I've done this countless times over the years but help please?!?! Im getting withdrawal symptoms! Haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it crash or give an error message of some sort? Did you see whether the game worked after the re-install before trying to install the patch- just to make sure everything was ok? You might want to uninstall the game again and start from scratch to make sure there were no problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works with the original 8.0 version but i prefer 8.02, was thinking about the new weegie as well. I've uninstalled 3 times mate, what folder are the patches supposed to go in? I might just be making a daft mistake with the folder im putting it in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You download the .rar file and extract it where ever you like. Once its extracted just double click the icon (which will be in the location where you extracted it to) and the grey 'patch' window will appear. Just click update (or whatever the button is) and it will update the 48 files. Then click exit. You should be good to go then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_lad Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Obviously make sure that the patch installer program has the right file path in the window. This should be automatic though. C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008 Obviously providing this is where your files are located. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
