    only bought fm09 the other day and i already hate it. tried installing it tonight and its frying my brain.it installed fine but when i go to run it, it asks for the product key which is fine but it then says it cant connect to the internet. it wont connect to steam either. it keeps saying server unavailable.
    any ideas?

    so both steam and uniloc can't connect to the internet? will steam run outside of the installation? if not it sounds like they either haven't been given permissions by your firewall or you're going through a proxy to me. are you using Wifi in a student complex by any chance?

    scrap that, try this:
    One thing you can try is to delete the data files with .blob extensions in your Program Files>Steam directory (Eg. ClientRegistry.blob, AppUpdateStats.blob). This will cause it to rebuild the Steam Registry and perhaps might resolve the issue.

    You don't have to use steam if you have the disk.

    fm09 is forgiven. ardscoil ris you were right. steam is back up so its actually working now. im using the disk but it wouldnt install while steam was down.
