Hi! This is not directly related to the 15 game but since it is the only active forum for technical help I still ask here.
Is there any expiry date on old games when installed to play directly on the computer? For about five years I have played FM10 without using Steam and the DVD-rom has worked just fine. Now overnight when it has been inside the CD holder as usual it has suddenly stopped working and I was forced to install and use my Steam account for the game to work.
Is it known to anyone here that old DVD-roms have suddenly expired completely without reason? Neither of my computers will even acknowledge the existance of the disc... and I have not even touched it since December 2014! (it has been inside the computer non-stop).
What could be the cause of this melee and would even a re-install help provided the disc doesn't even 'exist' according to the computer?
I hope not to be thrown under the bus for asking a FM10 technical question because I still feel it's relevant. 10 is such a favourite game for me and since I've been at Uni for all those years I haven't bothered spending money on new games ever since. I'd be devastated to lose it.
