Football Manager 2006 6.0.1 Working Solution!

[leezer3]

Just a point, there are many different methods available for getting this game to work with the image- Please post in the overall thread
Second point- DO NOT run the game with the NT4 compatibility on, this only defeated the copy protection in the first version, and now all it does is cause an unrecoverable crash in Jan 06.

Cheers

That's strange. I can get into February 2006 without any problems whatsoever. In my experiments Daemon caused me lots of problems, which is why I am using Alcohol 120%.

[leezer3]

Hmm
With me, Daemon has worked perfectly from the start, and I have never needed the Safedisc hider either. (Not running Anti-Blaxx or anything like that either)
Anyway, if you had bothered to read the previous thread, you would find the NT4 compatibility problem discussed at length, and a link to the SigGames forum topic on it.

I have read the whole Football Manager "Mini Image" thread. I've even uploaded a PDF step by step of my working solution. Just be patient and I am sure GCW will publish it shortly.

The point is my solution works "consistently" and "reliably". Very important I am sure you'll agree. Just because some users are experiencing problems doesn't mean everyone is, does it?

Dunno where you heard that but it's a load of bollocks.

[leezer3]

Where did I hear that?
How about in the sticky in the SI games forum?-

I have been read the solution and it doesn't work here

It doesn't say a word about crashing in January 2006. Also, it doesn't say that NT Compatibility is expicit cause of low memory error. I would say, that running the game in NT Compatibility only uses more memory, which can lead to low memory problem.

[leezer3]

No, that thread doesn't EXPLICITLY state that the cause is the NT Compatibility
However, if you bothered to keep an eye on the official tech support forum, you would find that EVERYONE who has reported this out of memory crash is running in NT Compatibility!!!
Bottom line- It does nothing anyway, so don't bother with it.

Yeah, NT compatibility probably uses more memory, so it can cause problems... anyhow, I'm now in september '06 without any problems at all. fm.exe does indeed take up a lot of memory (175k) and CPU Usage is constantly at 99% - 100%, but so far I haven't got any errors with NT Compatibility.
