EDIT: To use with wine I suggest installing the latest wine (not necessarily the one from the repo's, try the winehq website) and then skipping to post #30 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1755926&postcount=30) of this thread.

To install updates, instructions lurk in the second part of post #79 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1994488&postcount=79).

Hi i0h, I have tried using Wine with previous versions of Football Manager and had problems.

Yesterday I found an alternative solution, in that Wine is not used, but Football Manager 2007 runs on my 6.06 Dapper. However you will have to have copy of Windows available.

I assume you have used Automatix2 to install many of the goodies for Ubuntu, so hopefully you will have VMware Player installed. You can use this to run a virtual machine of Windows, and then in turn install and run Football Manager 2007 on this virtual Windows.

To create a virtual machine you will most likely want to visit this excellent link (http://www.easyvmx.com) which simplifies the process. This website will create a small set of files which act as the base configuration for your virtual machine. Unpack the files and simply double click the .vmx file to start the virtual machine in VMware Player. It will then prompt you for a an installation disk, and you will then have to put your Windows disk in the CD-ROM drive.

Once Windows has installed, and everything is to your pleasing (aside from the fact Windows is being used :() you should be able to install Football Manager as normal into the virtual Windows.

I have only briefly tested this solution, but it appears to run ok. The ingame matches are a bit stop-start, sometimes the 2D pitch has a good frame rate, and other times it slows down to a pathetic 3 fps. It never appears to skip completely, so you will always be able to view what occurred after any slow 3fps periods.

I am running:
---Football Manager 2007
--Windows XP w/SP2
-VMware Player 1.0.1
Ubuntu 6.06 (64bit)

Not a great solution due to the presence of Windows ](*,) however it does mean you will be able to play Football Manager 2007 and not boot your whole computer to Windows.

Now go get Sherman Cardenas (16yr Bucaramanga AMRC) 8)

hope this helps for now, until someone finds a better solution

I have managed to get FM07 running under Wine. I have compiled the latest version of Wine (0.9.24). Have you got the latest version of Java for Windows installed with Wine?

Did you have to do anything special to install java in wine?
I have tried with the latest and an older version, but i can't get it to work... :(

I just used the offline installation download for Windows from the Java website, and ran it through Wine.

[oblivion]

Well, i just deleted my .wine and "c" folders and then the java installed on my first try :confused: . And it looks like FM is working too! :D I managed to create a manager in league one and save, so i'm gonna make a cup of coffee and try it a bit further.

[zarathustra]

The problem of match highlights going at a crawl seems to have disappeared, at least I found that.

[cornish]

I managed to get this game working last week using cedega and wine, but after a rebuild of my PC I cant get the cursor to work in wine and when I try cedega I get an error about creating a temporary folder does any one know how to resolve these issues?

[cornish]

Ignore Previous message got it to work in wine again by setting it too win98

[skinny]

Good Job zarathustra! :D

However, I'm still having a few problems with Wine & FM. I've installed latest Wine (0.9.24), and have installed Java for Wine as suggested. Football Manager 2007 installed - although only using the -console switch for the setup, which was a new experience. However, now when I attempt to run fm.exe, the following errors occur.


err:module:import_dll Library ntoskrnl.exe (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\SECDRV.SYS") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\SECDRV.SYS" failed, status c0000135

Any ideas? :-? Tried a bit of googling, but to no joy.

This is a problem with Wine not emulating the copy protection software properly. The only way to get round it is to use a no-CD patch. There's questions of legality but as long as you own your own copy I don't think there's much of a problem.

[scotty2hott2k]

so have the slow 2d pitch issues been fixed? ie, can i watch a 2d match at a reasonable speed rather than the 2-3fps in the old football manager/ wine version.

I haven't had any problems with it, I've been able to see my teams thrashed at full speed!

[scotty2hott2k]

YAS!!!! finally, been waiting ages for fm to work properly in wine :D, will be chuffed to bits if the 2d pitch is working :D

[scotty2hott2k]

right 2d pitch works ACE, however can't see a cursor, which is pretty annoying :(

Copied the no-cd patch over fine, the game starts up and everything is peachy. Except I have no mouse pointer ](*,)
I could play the game like this, since most clickable places have either tooltips or highlight when the (invisible) mouse cursor is over them. I'd just be really slow compared to normal zipping around with a visible mouse cursor.
Just wondering if you encountered this problem (and if so how did you solve it?;) )
EDIT: Just saw your replies to this problem that had been posted earlier but hadn't been reloaded into my browser. Win98 fixed it beautifully cheers!!


fixme:cursor:create_cursor Currently no support for cursors with 32 bits per pixel

cheers loads for all your help so far!!:D

[scotty2hott2k]

cheers guys, the setting to win98 mode works a treat :D, finally fm works in wine like it should, can finally ditch vmware.

[Kernel Sanders]

Does the FM2007 editor work fine too? I am also curious about what happens when a patch is released? Can it be applied ok?

John :)

I get the following error (http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/5490/fm2007kn0.png) when running the FM installer (Kubuntu Edgy).

Have a problem installing FM, i installed java fine but when the FM install program has initaliazed Java i get this error.


http://www.klund.se/temp/error.jpg
Anyone had the same problem??

[scotty2hott2k]

no sorry, did you use the pc-setup.exe rather than autorun.exe?

as for the patch, you will be able to apply and use the new patch HOWEVER due to copy protection you will need to wait til a nocd for the new version is released.

I get exactly the same thing, no idea how to fix it :(

[klund]

Would really like to know how to fix it.

[klund]

Got something here.
Set up to use WinXP -> "wine Setup\ FM2007\ PC.exe -console" and it installed
copy a crack to fix the protection issue. Changed back to win98 emulation and i got it to load. Hope it works now. Thats the way i did it. Good luck everyone.

[klund]

works like a charm so far. set it to save every week in case it will crash. now i will not need windows anymore. to bad beryl is very unstable so i have to use ordinary gnome instead.

[Jongi]

Did you get the output below after it installed

klund how did you install java?

[Completenutter2]

Ok, so here's a quick guide as to how I got it installed:

Install Wine (http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb)

Run winecfg:


winecfg

Select Windows XP as the operating system.

Download and install Java (http://jdl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=10778)

Browse to downloaded file, and install with wine:


wine '/home/alex/Games/jre-1_5_0_09-windows-i586-p-s.exe'

Follow onscreen instructions until thats all done :)

Browse to FM2007 folder and run PC.exe with the console flag with wine:


wine Setup\ FM2007\ PC.exe -console

Follow the on-screen instructions, and hopefully everything should install nicely.

run winecfg again, switch to Windows 98. And run the game!

[mholtman]

I noticed in your mini-HOWTO that you did not mention getting a nocd crack. Is that accurate? If it actually recognizes the CD copy protection, that would be fantastic.

I'm going to give this a try this evening. The only wrinkle is that I'm installing the US version, WSM 2007. I'll post back to this thread if I run into any issues. Wish me luck. WSM is the only thing keeping a Windows install in my house. ;)

[Completenutter2]

Ah yes, I didn't check that, I was in a rush to get to work this morning, and it was installing that I was having a problem with.

You will probably need a NO-CD, although if you own the game, I don't see this being a legal issue.

I'm at work atm, but I'll check when I get home.

[mholtman]

Ah. Good to know. If you run into an issue, I'd be interested in hearing the solution. I own the game, always have, which means I'll need a little nudge in the right direction on where to find the NOCD patch. Hopefully there is one for my version!

[Completenutter2]

I had a quick look around, but I can't find one for WSM :( There are ones for FM2007 though, so perhaps you could just rename that file to WSM.exe or whatever yours is called.

[mholtman]

I actually found one for FM 2007. I used in in place of the one for WSM 2007 and it works just fine.

I started the game up in Ubuntu and it seemed to work. I haven't actually started a season though.

[Completenutter2]

Works fine for me, 2D matches are smooth enough to enjoy too :)

[skovenborg]

I tried Completenutter2's guide and installed Java and it looks like it installed succesfully. But when I try to run the FM2007 Setup it gives me the error message:

I use wine 0.9.22 (installed from the package system) but could that really be the problem? Or didn't the JRE install correctly (it was a little buggy but in the end it looked like it worked).

[skovenborg]

I use wine 0.9.22 (installed from the package system) but could that really be the problem? Or didn't the JRE install correctly (it was a little buggy but in the end it looked like it worked).

I really have to do more research next time. I downloaded the newest version of Wine and both Java and Football manager installed properly (although there was some error-messages when I installed FM but at least it didn't crash).

The only problem is that I can't actually use the game. When I run get passed the initial screens with all the logos and stuff it just stops with a black screen with the little nifty ball in the corner grayed out.

This is the output from the console:

Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory

The only problem is that I can't actually use the game. When I run get passed the initial screens with all the logos and stuff it just stops with a black screen with the little nifty ball in the corner grayed out.

Fixed this by running the FM2007 with the --cache_skin=0 parameter. Now everything works fine :-)

[Jongi]

Gah it's been working all the time. There was a DirectSound dialog box that was obscured by the screen changing resolution to 640x480. I pressed Enter and it loaded.

[pompeyjohn]

oh I am so close!

I have followed all the steps above

wine fm.exe generates


libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b

***???

and then I get a popup box showing


A debugger has been detected / Unload the debugger and try again

SWTF?!?!

hopefully one of you FM linux ninja's can help!

cheers

john

ps. get Jo and Falcao - they are goal machines :D

[DanGahan]

Followed the steps given by Completenutter2 and still getting the error message


http://www.klund.se/temp/error.jpg

Where did people who got this to work install java, am I correct in thinking it belongs in the program files directory.

Apart from that I cant see where I'm going wrong. XP is selected for the install, I am using Wine version 0.9.9 as downloaded from semantic package manager.

I do keep getting warning messages, which I am not hundred percent sure about :-


Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible.


Any help would be great

You need a more up-to-date version of wine than 0.9.9.
AFAIK most recent version of wine is 0.9.25, I use 0.9.24 and it works sweet. Not sure if this will solve all your problems but it should help. Let us know how you get on.

Updated my version of wine to 0.9.26 but still getting the same error, any other suggestions?

Where did people who got this to work install java, am I correct in thinking it belongs in the program files directory.

that is where I have installed it.


Got something here.
Set up to use WinXP -> "wine Setup\ FM2007\ PC.exe -console" and it installed
copy a crack to fix the protection issue. Changed back to win98 emulation and i got it to load. Hope it works now. Thats the way i did it. Good luck everyone.

Have you tried this? Is your error message the exact same as klunds' a few pages back? Are you trying to install java using the -console switch?

$

[DanGahan]

My error is exactly the same, except with my directories instead of his

Am I correct in thinking -console just sends the messages to the console rather than displaying them in a window?

I am pretty sure my java has installed properly, i tried installing the jdk also, i ran the javac.exe command without specifying a file to compile and the correct error was displayed

maybe i'm being a total idiot somewhere, but I cant work it out!

Cheers in advance for any other suggestions

Dan

The -console switch forces you to run the installation through a command line (in the terminal) rather than using a window. Most (all?) of us have had to install it this way, the GUI setup just seems to not want to work. The installation is basically the same as it would be with the GUI, except its just all text.
If you run "winecfg" does it say Windows XP in the combo box at the bottom of the Applications tab? If not set it so that it does. (Mind and change it back to Windows 98 after a succesful install and before running the game).

Yeah its set on XP

Using -console switches just brings up the same error but in the console

Starting to think it has to be something to with my Java install, will try removing that and reinstalling it

It Would have to be a crack I imagaine, its the only way around the copy protection.

But as long as you actually own the game I don't really see this being an issue.

[eduarm76]

has anyone been lucky with the 7.01 path, it doesn't seem to work

[mholtman]

Anyone found a no-cd for 7.01 that is available?

I've been happily running the 7.0 version on Ubuntu for 3 weeks now. It's awesome.

[skinny]

There is one available I believe, although I've not installed it yet, and I'm still debating if its really worth it.

This (http://www.***.co.uk/threads/fm2007_no_cd_crack_that_works_with_new_patch?from= 0&comments_per_page=20) was the first result from a Googling "FM 2007 crack" but it appears that SI have left "bugs" in the game which double the transfer fee of anyone using a tampered exe. :mad:

as Our Graham says, the choice is yours...

[anarchoal]

It wouldn't install for me in WinXP mode, I had the same errors at DanGahan. Win2000 mode worked though.

[Madhoax]

Here's the solution to play Football Manager 2007, patched version 7.0.1 without the double transfer bug, and no training bug.

Solution to the problems:

- uninstall fm2007
- install again, DON'T OVERWRITE FM.EXE
- install patch, DON'T OVERWRITE FM.EXE
- download this: http://gf.wiretarget.com/fm/poseden-fm07.rar
- use this iso file in deamon tools
- Download Sd4Hide (http://www.dvhardware.net/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=60)
- start Sd4Hide
- start fm07


There ya go :D Now the transfer bug is gone, it's like a legitimate copy.

In another forum I received comments that the above explenation wasn't clear, so here's some more explenation:

Ok, I hope the following explanation is better:

The file posedon-fm07.rar contains a posedon-fm07.iso file. This is a file to fool the system. The system read the file as like the original fm07 cd. However to use this, you need a original installation of FM07. So don't overwrite the fm.exe file in any way. Otherwise this 'tool' won't work. If you overwrite the fm.exe file with a nocd patch, you will get version 7.2.1, this is the version WITH the double transfer prices. You want version 7.0.1, the good working (patched) version of fm07.

So the first thing you need to do to use this is uninstall fm07 when you have used a nocd patch. You can do this by going to the configuration screen and then choose software -> delete (or something like this). Choose fm07 and uninstall it. The savegames plus edited databases will NOT be deleted.

Then install a fresh installation of FM07, without replacing the fm.exe file. Use the patch, so fm version will be 7.0.1. (patch can be downloaded from sigames.com).

Now unrar the posedon-fm07.iso file to any folder in the system (I unrarred it in my fm07 folder, for convience). Download the Sd4Hide (http://www.dvhardware.net/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=60) tool and put this in the same folder as the .iso file. Use sd4hide when mounting the iso file. Otherwise you have a chance that you receive a blacklist registration from daemon tools (whatever the hell that is).

Now mount the .iso file and enjoy your fm!

Great thing about this way of working is that it works on all patches, you never need to download a nocd patch cause you work with the 'original' cd.



yea but after that then what because im getting the no cd error do you use the crack?


Don't use the crack

I tried some things with my FM07. This doesn't seem to work when you don't use safedisc4hider (see above for link). If you don't have sd4hider enabled, you will get the no cd error!



Same as. I extract the original. then extract the 2nd and there is no ISO file in there. I have tried everything so far!

Think I'm having a blonde moment.


- You extract the posedon-fm.rar file
- This .rar files contains an .iso file
- Mount this posedon-fm07.iso file by using daemon tools

Required for this is a:
- original (fresh) installation of fm07 (patch 7.0.1 can be applied)
- Enabled sd4hide




If you mean after install, when trying to run the game? Yes, you need the nocd patch.


If you use the nocd patch, you will get fm07 version 7.2.1. In this version the players don't train and transfer prices will double.

So follow the above steps, don't replace the original fm07.exe!!! This is really important if you want fm07 version 7.0.1!

[i0h]

easiest way i found was to install FM07 on my girlfriends laptop (winxp)
and then just copy the whole dir to my wine dir and then run..

and yeah... wine setting Win98.. :)

damn big the thread become :D tobad i havent read it since the day after i posted ](*,)

[coolbedog]

Many Thanks,

I've got my fm 2007 running smoothly now! However I have noticed that none of the player pictures load up, even though I have selected the "show player pictures" box in the preferences box.

Has anybody else had this problem?

It's a small problem I know, but it's really doing my head in!](*,)

[skinny]

Do you definitely have the pictures for the players you are clicking on? Not that many of the players have pictures for their profiles in the original install, but there exist some excellent facepacks.

I believe I use the packs available in this thread (http://community.sigames.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/420106/m/8922096862). You should also be able to find out how to install the facepack there too. :)

Although I can't verify now, I believe that players who start in the Championship or League 1 (in England) *do* have a picture in the original install. Try clicking on those players...is it just the silhouette that appears, or nothing at all?

[Crazysah]

I heard there was a working no cd crack on torrentleach.... can someone confirm?

[DanGahan]

It wouldn't install for me in WinXP mode, I had the same errors at DanGahan. Win2000 mode worked though.

The problem I had was with my Java install, the result of me not properly removing a previous install of wine before attempting to install the current version.

Running perfect now, gotta love this game

[Kinty]

Okey. I'm new to Linux. can smeone tell me how to install the NOCD crack? like. Step by step =D

The install did got smoothe, i also downloaded Norwegain so the game is on Norwegian. need help to place that in the right folder too ;)

[Crazysah]

So did anyone check out the torrentleach file?

http://www.***.co.uk/threads/fm2007_no_cd_...nts_per_page=20 (http://www.***.co.uk/threads/fm2007_no_cd_crack_that_works_with_new_patch?from= 20&comments_per_page=20)

The person who posted is chopper. He says there is one available on torrent leach?

Can anyone confirm this?

[skinny]

@Crazysah: Not able to get into Torrentleech, not a member. Send me an invite and I'll check ;)
Alternatively, have you tried the last file listed at the link below?

@Kinty: Have you downloaded the replacement exe? Step by step instructions:
1. Rename your current (original) fm.exe file, located in the Football Manager 2007 directory (just as a backup)
2. Download (http://www.gameburnworld.com/gp/gamefixes/footballmanager2007.shtml) a new fm.exe (I think you want the first file filesize 4.87Mb)
3. Place the new fm.exe in the Football Manager 2007 folder.

:D Run FM as normal...

The above link has some other interesting files but I've yet to try any of them. I'll try to check them out later this week and report back, unless someone else is desperate to get their FM patched to 7.0.1 and checks them first....

As for the Norwegian translation files....erm I dunno. It must say either in the manual or on the si forums - I tried looking but I just get sidetracked horribly....(he says over an hour later). Best of luck!

Not sure about the first error...sorry!
Second error: If you replace the fm.exe with the crack it shouldn't occur anymore.
You can find where it is installed on your system by searching for fm.exe (add a search button to a gnome panel if you're using gnome, and then use that it will serve you well :))
or
have a poke about your home folder. do you have a .wine folder there? If it contains a drive_c folder (or similar), then you should be able to navigate to FM directory if you can recall where on your (wine) C drive you installed it. If you can't find the .wine folder make sure that you are showing hidden files and folders (its in the View menu on Nautilus, or you can just press Ctrl-H). Of course you may not need to do this, it may be that a c folder is just sitting in your home directory, it all depends on which version of Wine and how you set it up.

Hope this helps,

PS Should have news on updates + new crack tonight..

$

[skinny]

:-# crack available at the link below will allow you to play the updated (v7.0.1) version of the game. Just checked it's ok, and couldn't see any suspicious transfer financial goings on. Did a deal for a player for £5m and it turned up in the expenses at £5m so don't think that its suffering the double transfer deliberate bug.

Of course, I'm still going to carry on my old career on my main PC with no updates, because my Fiorentina are cruising. 8)

Installing the update is pretty simple, once you've downloaded the hefty 80mb download just run it with wine, and then again copy over the fm.exe with the one you download (http://www.gameburnworld.com/dl/dl.php?file=FootballManager2007v7.0.1ProperWorking NoCDFixedexeEng.rar).

Please note I have not played more than a week (in the game) on the new updated version so any bugs that crop up after then, well, sorry! But I'm sure it'll be fine...;)

Hi, my mate bought FM07 recently and he gave couple of his mates copies. Well it worked for most of them, but when I try and install part 1 of the game the instalation just goes on and on for ages. I tried to install it( I left it for 1 day!) but it doesnt work. Please help guys or else I'll have to play Championship Manager instead. The only reason I don't buy a new game is because now I'm not sure if it will work! :(:(

The java installation does work you just need to install java for windows using the offline installer in Windows 2000 mode.

I'm using wine 0.9.28 on my Kubuntu 6.06 and i installed the latest java using the offline exe. That appeared to install ok.

Then i successfully installed fm2007 as i would in windows, with the java installation wizard that worked fine.

Then i got the unload debugger message which i got rid of using the crack posted on this thread. However when i started fm.exe up in wine all i got was a black screen and a system beep, though the fm cursor was on screen and working.

Now i'm following the quoted method above. I've copied the fm directory from windows, and i've got the official patch. However when i try to install the patch with wine i get the following error.

I know about the crack already, and downloaded it some time ago. But i can't get the patch to go on.

Typing "wine patch_name.exe" was the first thing i did and i get the win-zip error. I still get this error whether it's called 463.exe or whatever.

I'm pretty close now, i just need to get the patch working and i'm sure i'll be playing it soon.

Ok, I was merely checking that you were definitely trying the correct file.

A quick google shows that "Any Self-Extracting EXE files will run with no special config nor copying of DLL files." (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=1104). All I can suggest at present is perhaps your update is corrupt and to download the update from si again? This would fit with the last line of your error (and the 2nd and 3rd lines now that I read it again):

wine: could not load L"Z:\\home\\andy\\fm2007_patch_7.0.1.exe": Bad EXE format for

Sir you are a genius, and a fellow Gooner to boot!

The patch i'd downloaded from the official site was bad somehow, and i remembered that i'd already downloaded it once on Windows, so i tried that one. Straight in and patched it up.

The game now starts up, and though i'm yet to test it properly for crashing and bugs, i have every reason to believe that i'm free from Windows once again!

Here's what worked for me.

1. Installed latest Java, offline method.
2. Installed FM2007 using working Java wizard.
3. Copied entire directory from Windows just in case.
4. Downloaded and installed official patch.
5. Downloaded and patched with FootballManager2007v7.0.1ProperWorkingNoCDFixedexe Eng.rar, as linked to on this thread.
6. System beep and black on startup but pressing Enter takes us into the game.

Sorted! Many thanks again, and i shall be the one in the Arsenal shirt at the game vs City on Jan 30th :)

How do I get it fullscreen :/ ?

Do you have any command line arguments to force fullscreen?

Command line options found here. (http://sigames.com/sibase.php?type=view&id=199). This includes fullscreen options, smallscreen options, and you can also change the fullscreen height and width options if you're playing on a widescreen and don't want that horrible stretch affect.

Curiously, I can force it into fullscreen through the terminal, but adding that option on the end of my (Gnome) launcher results in nothing happening.:???:

Just another quick query. Has anyone had any luck enabling sound? Presumably this only comes on during matches anyway, but whenever i enable it in my preferences the game crashes at the point when sounds are to be played. The game shrinks away and dies, and an error box says: "DirectSound Error: No Driver"

Am i just going past the current limitations of Wine in expecting sound or have i made a schoolboy error somewhere?

This is what I get when I try to install. After showing the loading box, it gives this error:

I guess it's got something to do with my java install? Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

i'm getting the very same error. anyone know how to fix it?

Have you succesfully completed the offline java install for windows for your wine?


@ martibs:
I have this problem too but after install the java windows offline installation solve the problem

[berthanas]

Have you succesfully completed the offline java install for windows for your wine?

oops i missed that. but when i try to install the offline java, simply nothing happens :) here's the screenshot. This is the first time i'm using wine so i have no idea what to do. (i've downloaded the offline java installation)

Hi berthanas I've never encountered this before so lets try and figure it out. Can you open a terminal and go to your system32 directory within your wine folder?

To navigate to mine I have to cd to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32 but on your computer it may be different.
From there can you type
lsDo you have a java.exe file present? If so, can you then type
wine java.exe -version

Hopefully you'll see something like:

skinny@ubuntulaptop:~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32$ wine java.exe -version
java version "1.5.0_09"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_09-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_09-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

If you don't see the above, then we need to do some more reading and thinking! :-k
If you do see the above (or something similar) then your java would appear to have been installed ok, and so maybe retry installing FM 2007 again.

good luck!

$

[berthanas]

unfortunately there is no java.exe in the system32 directory. i tried the 1_5_0_10 version of the java offline installation also but still nothing happens ](*,) .

i've been searching the forum, the net but i haven't found anything yet.

EDIT: i've tried the both versions of the java installer in windows 2000 and all the other modes in wine but still nothing...

[skinny]

This is weird. Done a bit of searching here and there but nothing that really matches your problem.

Java is obviously not installed, so...
1. What's the size in Mb of the java offline exe that you downloaded? It should be about 15.82Mb. If your jre-1_5_0_x-windows-i586-p-s.exe (http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=10879) is significantly less I would definitely recommend downloading it again and retrying to install it as you were before.
2. If 1. doesn't work, as you were: ](*,)

Scratching my head here, dunno why it wouldn't work for you normally apart from the download being corrupt etc.

$

[berthanas]

i checked the file size and it is 15.8 mb. Tried downloading with and without a download accelerator. still nothing happens and it doesn't make any sense. so still ](*,) :) . i've spent hours to search but i couldn't find a similar problem. i'm gonna install ubuntu 6.10 and try again. i hope i'll work.

and skinny thank you very much for helping...

[skinny]

What version of wine do you have? Provided that it is 0.9.24 or later, I don't envisage that it is the problem, but perhaps if you have an old version then that could be your problem.

FM has worked on wine on Dapper and Edgy. But if an update to Edgy fixes this strange error, then it's worth it, although I'm not quite sure why it would fix it.

Good luck!

$

[mermi]

berthanas - do you have a amd 64bit platform?

[skinny]

Do you think that should affect it mermi?

I only ask because I am currently using amd 64bit Edgy (and until about 2 weeks ago amd 64bit Dapper). I've never had problems but would be keen to hear if you've had any problems with Football Manager or any other games and amd 64bit setups.

[attercop]

Yeah sound working here. Are you using ALSA? At a terminal

winecfg
and click the Audio tab, make sure ALSA is ticked and ignore the

Brilliant. Sorted once again. It's actually running stable as in Windows and with sound now! Nice one.

[redeyes32]

hi.i can run this game but my mouse is invisible.anyone know how to fix it???

[redeyes32]

sorry for previous post i can fix it by use windows98 to play it.

but this sunday we gonna smile right skinny because we going to win the red devil right?

bless for the king, Henry

[berthanas]

berthanas - do you have a amd 64bit platform?

sorry for late response but i have finals these days and i don't have time...

no i'm using a Dell Latitude 110L laptop.


i installed 6.10 edgy and at last i've managed to get errors at least :) it's better than nothing. :) now i'm not home and writing from another computer so not sure about the error but when i try to install the java it says lib3dl or "something like that" error. it has been asked in this thread. i've checked the net and most probably it is because the Intel 910GML graphics chipset. Still searching for a solution. i'll post the actual error message in first chance.

[sagarhshah]

Hiya,

Has anyone used football manager with crossover office instead of wine?
If so did you encounter any problems with your installation or gameplay or anything with it so ever?

[skinny]

@sagarhshah: CrossOver Office appears to be built on wine, only with a few extra tweaks, so I imagine that a recent version of Crossover should be able to run Football Manager 2007. I would question whether Crossover is able to work harmoniously with SafeDisc v4 which is the only reason why No-cd patches are mentioned in this thread.

@berthanas: maybe you should wait til after your finals??!! g'luck with them btw...

@redeyes32 & attercop: :D. but lets all (inc. me!) leave the Arsenal chat for another thread, and try to keep this one for FM 2007.

Anybody know how I would solve this as FM is pretty much the only game I ever played on Windows:guitar:

Thanks

[DBFT]

Doesnt matter - got past it by installing on a windows machine and copying the files over. Thanks anyway =D>

[raul_]

Is it supposed to be using 100% CPU most of the times? i know it isn't a light game but since it doesn't have nothing graphic in it, just data processing i find it strange that a game like that consumes so much CPU

[Pedro84]

I got serious problems. I can't install my FM:

Here's screenshot:
http://www.fotosik.pl/pokaz_obrazek/23a7b1ffd7115787.html

Hmm. I have to use no-CD crack? Which one is compatibile with 7.01 patch?

I'd be very pleased with Your help!

BTW. I can't run Virtual Machine now cause I have too low hdd's space.

[Pedro84]

Anyone knows?

[Pedro84]

Heeeelp!:mad:

[raul_]

Did you try to install it with Wine?

The link to the crack is posted on this thread, some posts back (#59 or so)

[Pedro84]

Is the crack necessary?

I tried to instal Deamon Tools. The newest version can't even install. version 3.47 installed but can't run [error: No language support!]

Any suggestions?


I use this crack but I can't choose database, can't load game from Windows. Game version in "game statu" is 7.0.0.92972 [or something similar]

[raul_]

I use the crack with no problems whatsoever. It's necessary if you want to play without the cd.

I never looked much into Daemon tools in Ubuntu, so i can't help you there

[Pedro84]

I use the crack with no problems whatsoever. It's necessary if you want to play without the cd.

Question. Can You choose database when starting new game? Could You be so nice and upload or email crack You use, please?

[raul_]

I can choose the old database and the patch's database. So I guess I can...

As I said, i use the one that was posted in this thread, post #59 i think. Worked for me.

[Pedro84]

@Crazysah: Not able to get into Torrentleech, not a member. Send me an invite and I'll check ;)
Alternatively, have you tried the last file listed at the link below?

@Kinty: Have you downloaded the replacement exe? Step by step instructions:
1. Rename your current (original) fm.exe file, located in the Football Manager 2007 directory (just as a backup)
2. Download (http://www.gameburnworld.com/gp/gamefixes/footballmanager2007.shtml) a new fm.exe (I think you want the first file filesize 4.87Mb)
3. Place the new fm.exe in the Football Manager 2007 folder.

:D Run FM as normal...

The above link has some other interesting files but I've yet to try any of them. I'll try to check them out later this week and report back, unless someone else is desperate to get their FM patched to 7.0.1 and checks them first....

As for the Norwegian translation files....erm I dunno. It must say either in the manual or on the si forums - I tried looking but I just get sidetracked horribly....(he says over an hour later). Best of luck!

$



You mean in this post?
Do You use first file filesize 4.87Mb?

Just replace original fm.exe?

Sorry but I never cracked software;)

Cheers

[simonmac]

Daft question but after i (hopefully) have installed FM how do I run the program?

[Pedro84]

Daft question but after i (hopefully) have installed FM how do I run the program?


You can type in Terminal


cd /path/to/Your/FM/in/wine/folder/
wine fm.exe


or simply use shortcut in the menu /if wine made one/


BTW. I use the crack and I got conract bug:( Ehhh.

[scotty2hott2k]

which contract bug is that? ive got the latest patch installed with a nocd patch (from megagames) and it works flawlessly.

[Pedro84]

That when player reject new contract offer and the contract expires. Could You upload and PM me with Your no-cd patch link?

I will be very happy. If You dodn't believe I can attach some screenschots. I play on my old save. This save was perfect. Started on Windows, with ORIGINAL fm.exe, of course patched.

[CurtyD13]

I just installed FM2007 with help from this thread and everything worked flawlessly from the start, however today I installed beryl and FM2007 no longer works no matter what window manager I use. When I run fm.exe I get an text box with "Unable to open fullscreen mode". and the following error messages in the console

[scotty2hott2k]

can;t help sorry, however try running it in a managed window mode (goto wineconf and create a virtual desktop in that), if not try running football manager with the windowed mode flag.

[CurtyD13]

Well I got it to work today. I'm not exactly sure what I did to fix it but I went into beryl settings and checked "Enable workarounds for certain Wine and legacy windows" which might have fixed it.

[AndyCooll]

I just want to say thanks to everyone in this thread for helping me to get FM07 working with Wine.

I've been using Linux for a couple of years now. Only one app has required me to keep using *******, this game. Despite repeated attempts I never could get it to work. Anyway, yesterday I finally cracked it!

As usual with these things, the resolution is easy (when you know how!) and you wonder why you ever struggled. However I had struggled, and yesterday was a great release!!

So ...thanks everyone.

:cool:

[Bap]

This might be abit off track but it is referring to fm07

I just got FM2007 running on wine without any hickups, but upon testing network mode, i found no one could connect as the ports have'nt been forwarded is there a way to forward the ports through terminal?

[nardz]

I am trying to install FM07 as per the instructions in post #30 and i get the following error when trying to run the installation of FM07.

any help would be appreciated :)

i'm fairly new to linux and am sick of dual booting to windows every time i wanna play.

Since you already have the game running in *******, the easiest way to get FM to work is to copy the "Sports Interactive" folder in your Program Files in Windows over to your Wine folder in Linux (which will be somewhere along the lines of: /home/yourname/.wine/drive_c/Program Files).

Then replace the fm.exe with a patched NO-CD copy for the version of the game Football Manager 2007 NO-CD patches (www.gameburnworld.com/gp/gamefixes/footballmanager2007.shtml).

Has anyone managed to get network mode working, trying to host a game but wont allow users to connect :(

[scotty2hott2k]

i couldn't host but when a friend hosted i could connect to his game and play perfectly fine.

Same, ive managed to connect to other people hosting, but when people try to connect to me, it just doesnt want to work :(

I got the same problem you had but I'm not using Beryl but Compiz.

Any idea how can I fix it?

[oxygala]

Hey folks,

I have FM2007 working almost flawlessly under feisty, however the 2d match engine is rather slow. Besides, the speed of the match does not change no matter what I try on the left hand side speed sliders of the match engine. Do you have the same problem, is it related to the java or wine version (which are rather updated actually) or is there something else that I'm missing?

edit: ok, no problem anymore, related to old wine version.

[scotty2hott2k]

what version of wine are you running? i haven't played it in quite a while now, but the 2d pitch slow speed issue was fixed, unless newer evrsions of wine have a regression in them.

[Enverex]

The AppDB has it rated as gold - http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=7387
Which basically meant it should run really well. As well as Scotty's question, do you have OpenGL set up properly in Linux?

[VOD]

oh I am so close!

I have followed all the steps above

wine fm.exe generates


libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b

***???

and then I get a popup box showing


A debugger has been detected / Unload the debugger and try again

SWTF?!?!

hopefully one of you FM linux ninja's can help!

cheers

john

ps. get Jo and Falcao - they are goal machines :D

I have encounter the same problem. i am using ubuntu 7.04 feisty with wine 9.33 to run FM 2007 but failed. i have follow the step to install jre first and then install fm2007 with -console parameter.
who can help me out this problem?
thank you very much for your help.

[scotty2hott2k]

you need a nocd patch as wine doesn't support the cd copy protection.

[VOD]

i already use the nocd patch...

[VOD]

i have try this and find that i could not use 7.02 nocd patch but can use 7.0 nocd patch.
so i can enjoy 7.0 now. Thank you very much.
but how can i use 7.02 nocd patch?

[Enverex]

i already use the nocd patch...

You need to use a better one that actually works because it's still checking. Also, the "doesn't support visual" can be ignored.

[arijit]

I have successfully installed and playing FM 2007 under Debian GNU/Linux.
Thanks to you guys, and wine.

See the attachment.

I followed the instructions from http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=7387
thanks to all, again

[vuroth]

Unfortunately, I suspect that my problems are a bit different. WSM 2007, the downloaded version using elicense rather than a CD protection thingy. Install ok (wine, feisty), runs ok first time. Next time I try to run, I get a popup saying:


Sorry, could not get a license at this time.
Please try running this program later.

In the terminal:

Hope I'm not on my own on this one....

[scotty2hott2k]

have you tried repalcing the .exe with a nocd version? (maybe try a football manager nocd patch instead of world soccer manager one).

[wild_oscar]

Is it a problem with my configuration, or does the FM Editor run super slow under wine?

[adoato]

you need a nocd patch as wine doesn't support the cd copy protection.

Where can I find this nocd patch?

They should be in your /home folder. The actual FM program files themselves will be in Wine's (normally) hidden folder /home/yourname/.wine/ etc etc ...can't remember the rest. CTRL+H will reveal your hidden folders.

Found it

Under Windows, the file is in the folder

Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2007

, not in the game folder.

Under wine, it should be in

hi,

i recently switched from feisty to gutsy beta. i can still play fm 2007 without much problem but there's one small thing. in feisty i used to play the game fullscreen, but in gutsy gnome toolbars still appear in front of the game screen. i remember having this problem in feisty sometime, but i can't remember what it was about and how i solved it. any idea?

Is the in-game option for fullscreen active?

[scotty2hott2k]

are you running compiz? if so that is the problem.

[oxygala]

@wild_oscar, yes, fullscreen is on.

@scotty, yes i'm running compiz. probably that's the problem but it's strange as it seemed they solved this in early beryl stages. i've been using desktop effects and fm2007 together for quite a reasonable amount of time.

thanks lads.

If you confirm compiz is the problem, make sure to tell us about it.

haven't tried it yet, but would imagine it will work.

[oxygala]

I can definitely confirm this is compiz related, no such problem occurs when I start FM fullscreen in case desktop effects are disabled.
