manutdthereds Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I honestly couldn't say man, ive not had any downloads happening for mine, it lists the update news, then I can just crack on with the game...sorry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korpse Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 If you bought the game through Steam, then I would presume the downloading that's going on is Steam actually downloading the game. If you didn't buy the game via Steam, you shouldn't need to use Steam at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aiston Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Right click on the game in "Steam" then, stop downloads or something similar, dont know the exact phrase used, as I dont use Steam with FM09. Steam = steaming pile of..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

masteratt Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\football manager 2009 You can launch it there without the need of Steam. But if Steam is downloading something, it's usually critical (weather it be game files or an update) but yeah, ^ that's how you launch without Steam.
