Hi everyone,
I purchased FM 2011 from Direct2drive, with Byteshield protection, and Patch 1.1 already installed.
Then, I downloaded and installed Patch 1.2 from SI.
Then, I deleted ALL fake files, (which in this version) were in the folders:
- Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2011\data\db\1110\lnc
- Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2011\data\db\1110\edt
- Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2011\data\updates\update-1120\db\1120\lnc
- Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2011\data\updates\update-1120\db\1120\edt
Then, I searched the entire game folder, and the Save folder - in my case, Documents\Sports Interactive - for "fake" and "edt", and made sure there are no more files to delete.
This is not Steam version, so there are NO automatic updates. This means no other files were downloaded / installed.
Only then, I've started a new game... and when Germany's first friendly came up, only 3 players (the ones that play abroad) were real. All others were greyed out - FAKE.
Just to make sure, I quit the current game, searched all folders again, and started a NEW game.
I chose to start unemployed, so the time would advance faster. And there it was again - FAKE german team.
----------------------------
I've read like 50 posts about this, in various forums, and they all say the same - delete the files in the updates folders, start a new game, etc. BUT I HAVE DONE THAT.
Can anyone see the REAL german team in FM 2011? And is there a WORKING fix?
Cheers.
