FM2012 Support: Game does load since 12.0.4 updated.
After the release of the Football Manager 2012 patch 12.0.4 some users reports problems loading it in steam. A common way of fixing this was to verify the cache within steam. Below is a list of steps to take to complete this.
- Load Steam
- From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
- Select the Local files tab and click the ‘VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE…’ button.
- Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.
- Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit.
If you are still experiencing the same error afterwards on the PC please try deleting the FM.EXE
PC WINDOWS:
Local Disk -> Program Files -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> football manager 2012 -> fm.exe
Upon deletion try the ‘VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE…’ feature to identify whether this addresses the problem.
