Football Manager 2011

Ok, thanks a lot.

I always get crash dumps during the first mach, too. In my case, I can start the match but I don't know what could make these crashes happen.

I've got a nvidia card, now using wine 1.3.4, but tried 1.3.5-6 also with no success.

Any idea?

Other then fiddling around with graphics settings I don't know. Try and play the game in a window and/or keep the game fullscreen but run it in a wine desktop.

I have the full game now but am having trouble installing it, might give it a go on my work machine (another nvidia).

Oh and could you copy'n'paste the output just before the crash dump as well,

Cheers,
Maq

Here's the whole wine output: pastebin.com/veK6bjK8

I don't know why there are a lot of "root" references, I'm not such a linux noob.. :P

Anyway, I configured wine not to use pixel shader and configured fm to use no 3d at all.

Wine version is 1.3.4 compiled.

Nvidia driver: 260.19.06.

Using a wine desktop and the windowed mode didn't help (but in windowed mode the game is much more responsive).

Ah cheers for that, it looks like standard output to me for this game. I'm gonna give the game another go tonight for a bit (I tend to get give up quickly at home because I'd rather be playing eve :P).

I need to give some different nvidia drivers a go and maybe try out the stable wine version, I'm still waiting for 1.3.6 to hit the Gentoo repo.

I'll keep everyone apprised and I'll create a new version for us all to play around in since this "forum" is for the demo :P.

Cheers,
Maq

I've got a crash dump before start the match, at the first match of BBVA League, is a wine problem or game problem?

Hi, could you confirm some things for us?

1. What graphics card do you have (ati or nvidia?)
2. Is this the first game you would take charge of? As in, did you play any friendlies or let your assistant take care of them?
3. Could you try again after you turn off 3d matches in options?

To me it sounds like as soon as the 3d engine kicks in it crashes, if im wrong, could you try reinstalling the demo?

Cheers,
Maq

I have Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 915.

Yes, that's the first match because the pre-season are assistant bussines.

Not's a 3D problem because in the preferences, I turn off this option and I play in 2D classic (like all FM).

I will reinstall the demo again. thanks ;)

PD: I read in FMsite that the crash dump problems are often... I don't think that's a wine problem...

Ah.... well least we ruled out a wine/3d issue :).

If the reinstall doesn't work, try loading another league, I found the Premier League worked fine for me...

Cheers,
Maq

Well...

I played at release (full game), and i've got the same crash dump at the first match (this is against Malaga B at pre-season)...

My settings are the same that the demo... definitely, this game doesn't work...

I'm sorry to hear that, but we know the game _does_ work on 1.3.4.

At this point Id suggest;

downgrading wine to 1.3.4 and see if it works, or try another league just in case?

Another option is to nuke the directory that FM is using as its storage (I think its Sports Interactive in $HOME or in $HOME/Games/).

I'd love to test with the full version but amazon the gits never sent it for delivery today so will have to wait till Monday :(.

Cheers,
Maq

I use the strawberry version, i use the d3dx9_36 from winetricks, wine 1.3.6...

Well least the game loads of you even with those errors, I looked into a way of disabling 3d support (not like you need it to enjoy the game), it seems to be unsupported nowadays annoyingly.

Could you post your gfx card and driver information please? So far we have two nvidia cards that don't work with 1.3.5 and above, I'm waiting for 1.3.6 to hit gentoo repo before I try that.

Cheers,
Maq

I have an ATI HD 5470

That has to be more then a coincidence, I'll have to keep a tally!

ok thank you

if you want you can help us on fmtux.net

Ah that website looks good, I'll keep an eye on it. Sorry about changing your rating to silver but some appdb monitors throw a strop when you have what they consider wrong ratings.

We both know that as long as the game loads its 100% playable, but platinum/gold expect that.

A monitor who isn't familiar with game might question how its gold and 3d mode not working :(.

/Maq

Ok :) no problem :)

Hello,

I can't play at this game. If i disable "gameux" in winecfg, i have this :

I don't understand, i have a Nvidia Gt330M + latest Nvidia driver + wine 1.3.5

hhhmmm, what about putting in a native d3dx9_36? I had this from an earlier thing.

I'll try a fresh prefix to see if I come across that as well.

Maq

I use d3dx9 with winetricks before to install the game.
It's the Steam version or the Vanilla/Straberry that you used?

Was the steam version, fresh steam install, the works. Had very little to do except gameux to make the game work.

Do any other games work on your prefix? try fm 2009/10?

/Maq

I use Vanilla Version. With this version démo, i have a friend who have the same problem... It's strange.

I will try with Steam Version :)

Right it's my bad, the game doesn't work on 1.3.5, I'm playing around with it right now to try and get it working, nothing is working so far :-/.

I've changed the wine version in the report to show 1.3.4. I'll create a bug at this rate.

Hi,

It's possible to link the bug a this game ?
