HuddersfieldOwl Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hi I have bought the game, installed and activated via steam Why does my computer say the game is not installed anywhere? Surely I don't have to go through steam every time I want to play the game?> There is no desktop shortcut and the game is not in c:/program files or anything like that How do I just play through my desktop, without internet connection or steam? Also, where is the data editor. Why change things, it's no so complicated and stupid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
makavelithedon23 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Go to where Steam installed along with game & go to the 'steamapps' folder, then 'common' & you should find the FM09 folder in there. There you'll find the FM09.exe which you can use to create a shortcut on your desktop which will run without Steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuddersfieldOwl Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 thanks for that mate Much appreciated Can I now uninstall steam do you know? And still update with patches via the website like last year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Valler Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Cheers for the reply, but why didnt it just do this when i installed the game. I dont like the way i am subjected to steam adverts every day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny van Axeldongen Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I dont like the way i am subjected to steam adverts every day. File > Settings > Interface > untick 'Notify me (with Steam instant messages) about additions or changes to my games, new releases, and upcoming releases'.

boltios Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 If you load it without steam does this mean that you could miss out on vital updates through steam though? Or can you continue to update and then this will load onto the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
