FM07 - FMF Database Update V2

lads for some reason my game wont load, i have been playing for months and now it wont start, i keep getting this message to send error report to microsoft which i have done, so what do i do now? please help

the V1 and V2 update are called the same so if you extracted them to the same place it will overwrite the V1 :)

I will make a note and see if we can get V1 V2 and V3 put on it so you can see the difference...
----------------

inexile - sounds like you need to reinstall your FM07

it never worked for me anyway and i followed the instructions to a T!...

are you using 7.0.2 patch from SI?
are you using a no cd patch?

Paste into here the exact file path you have put the FMF update please

you have a very strange perception of the sports interactive team. the team has been slaving for years making the best sports game around bar none, with amatuer entusiasts like myself and tazskool doing the donkey work of researching every damn little detail of the footballing scene, work that not only is used by FM but also by Konami for Pro Evolution Soccer. the programmers are lads with jobs who try to make a living in a competitive field, not paris hilton rolling in cash or tom cruise wasting money on space aliens. save for it? its €30 in gamestop, you'd spend more on a single night out.

whatever about your wonderful turn of phrase here, it literally does take money that could have either gone into the further development of one of europe's most popular PC games, or to the pockets of the people who gave you a game to "play it solid for ages wasnt like i had just got it....".

yes i have downloaded music, movies and games - most of them rubbish. any time the game, music or movie actually entertains me, however, i go and buy the album, watch it in the cinema, or buy the full version. when a game like FM or civilisation or pro evolution gives you literally dozens of hours of entertainment the least you could do is drop the price of a meal on them. not only do you ge tthe benefit of support and updates like this one, but you also get a warm fuzzy feeling inside of havign actually contributed to making something good, the way you probably would about paying in to see United. you wouldnt hop the wall in galway, would you?

look that was two mths ago so im not bothered what ya have to say about it now.... and ''whatever about your wonderful turn of phrase here'' i was ****ed when i wrote that so not bothered what it said!!.... if you dont want to take the game for free thats your problem but dont be giving me your high moral ground stance on the matter, well i find it hard to believe that after seeing say spoiderman 3 on the net for free you go to the cinema to watch it agin to ''contribute''..???..why wouldnt ya just stick your contribution into a poor box if your that nice a guy adn give it to the ppl who really need it!....i was out of work at the time and dole money doesnt amount to that much to pay €50 for the game when i could download it for free....your talking like im the 1st person to download the game for free!!......BOTHERED!!
(might be 30 now it wasnt then!!)

Great post, Well done.

I use a downloaded copy to, but then I did pay for the game, but my nephew decided it would be good to chew it so it doesn't work any more.

I don't know if you would call that theft? I think I read some where before that if you have the original disk it is not against the law. But that could be just emulated games.

I didnt bother reading gavinzacs whole post but i'll agree with him on the basis of the 1st couple of lines. Stealing is stealing. SI are no ogres. They are football fans just like us, only they make addictive football games for a living.

Is it illegal? Well, when you installed the game you agreed to a license stating you would not alter the main program, which is what applying the no-cd patch does. So, yeah. Is it morally wrong? Probably not, since you've bought a different license.

SI as a company obvious have to take a hard line stance against it but as individuals they often say they understand the need for such programs either to replace broken cds or to install the game on a strange platform, eg Linux. To facilitate this, this year they've released Football Manager in the USA (World Soccer Manager its called over there) in e-License form - you can buy and download the game online, and the program will come "pre-cooked" to only work on your computer, letting you avoid DVDs and avoid dodgy downloads. If it works, the same system will be used over here - unfortunately I think all it will do is provide a legitimate way of using it for people like yourself, and the thieves will continue to use the DVD manner. perhaps at some point when the internet is at near 100% roll out, we can do away with DVDs altogether.

if you downloaded it, and it works without the cd, you are, whether you install it yourself or not. well, either you are or you're using something to bypass the cd-detection, which is pretty much the same thing but requires a bit more effort.

I have the patch downloaded, and just started a new game...Eircom League players seem to be updated but the divisions are the same and still no Limerick 37 or Wexford Youths...
