Football Manager 2010
I have..er..warez version of FM 2010, but this problem is turning out to be an asshole.
I've played this game for a long time, every single day. But then I've discovered FMRTE (FootManager Real-Time Editor) for v2010. I've changed a few characteristics on my players in Manu squad. Turns out, 2 days later, I wasn't able to run the game again... even to this day.
The error was something like this: "Invalid game XML file, token... blah blah blah..." basically the problem was in the cache files of the game. After deleting those, I get this:
To this day, I wasn't able to get the game working again. I've reinstalled it a dozen times, tried numerous versions from Razor, Reloaded, Skidrow but none of them worked. The same error was here. I've tried to run it in compatibility mode for WinsXP SP3 and the other things like Run as Admin. Still the same goddamn error.
2 days ago I've decided to format the ****ing thing (sry for language) just for FM 2010 (I was running out of ideas, yeah :) ). After format, I've installed all the drivers (latest and greatest for everything) and the game itself... not working. Same error, as mentioned above on the picture is popping up always when I want to play a game.
I've heard about compatibility mode with Steam, but I don't have Steam version of the game. Also, the latest patch for the game don't do a damn thing. Cracks, mini images, NO-CD patches, anything else doesn't help.
This problem is driving me crazy, especially if I think about my friend who's got an Asus Eee Notebook and he's able to run the game just fine, without a single problem. I was thinking that formatting should do it's job but instead I'm back at the beginning. And before you start flaming with: "BUY T3H ORIGINAL!!!111ONE" I'm not sure about spending 40€ on retail version of the game just to realize that I'm a jackass because it won't work again. But I have to say I'm pretty close to buy a Steam version of the game and try it out. If you know the solution, please tell me. By the way, all drivers are up-to-date. I just need to know what the hell is this essential data crap.
Comp Specs:
C2D E4500@2.2ghz
2GB RAM
GF8600 GT 512MB (I don't think I need to upgrade anything, except maybe the RAM. Graphic card is just fine, because I'm playing... I mean I WAS playing on low graphic settings. CPU is kinda old, but as long as I can play the game, I don't give a damn)
