AlexJames Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hi guys, looking for some quick advice. I've logged into Steam this morning, and upon navigating to my games library, it seems the option for me to Play/ Load my FM19 copy instead now says "Install". I played the game yesterday evening, and most definitely did not uninstall the game from Steam. Can anyone advise what may have caused this, and also the impact on selecting "Install" - is the reinstall going to overwrite my previously installed FM19 - and hence possibly overwrite my existing save/ tactics etc. - or is Steam smart enough to know that it's already previously installed on game on my laptop? I'm reluctant to select install as I am currently 1100 hours into my one and only FM19 save, and would be extremely frustrated if this is lost. Grateful for any and all assistance!

FrazT Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Installing and uninstalling doesnt affect the personal settings and saves that are stored in a folder separate from the game files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 No clue what could have caused that to happen, but pretty certain that re-installing will not affect saves/tactics etc, they're kept separate.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJames Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Phew, that's good to hear, thanks! No idea what caused it either... the cynic in me figured it was a ploy by SI/ Steam to get me off FM19 and make me buy FM20!
