question about Steam

I installed Steam only because of FM2013 so I've never used it before.

So now if I install steam on another machine will I be able to play FM2013 from the cloud?

Or do I have to install FM2013 on every PC? I don't really get how it works.

You can install Steam and FM on however many PCs you want. You can however only play it on one PC at a time, plus you have to install any graphics etc on each PC plus transfer the saved game from one PC to another.

Ok thanks for the reply.

That's a lot of hassle. There's no benefit to it being on Steam if you're only playing your own saved game and no online multiplayer. I thought it was all backed up to the cloud. I don't see the point behind them making it steam-only when it still gets cracked anyway.

How many games are playable through cloud anyway? This game's 4gb, so even if it is through cloud, you'd have to download it everytime you play anyway, as there won't be a localised version. I do agree with saves though - that's a very good point, they and preferences should be saved online and be acces via the Steam account.

***think it's sorted now... updated the graphics driver, will leave it posted for any other technologically challenged users***

i'm hoping someone can help with a steam issue - i only play fm and have never used steam for anything else so i'm far from experienced.

bought the game from the link above last week. installed and checked it out, no problem. then had to have my hard drive wiped at the weekend and the os and drivers etc all reinstalled cos my laptop was mashed. this was done by a professional (not me), got it back, reinstalled steam and fm. now when i try and launch fm i get the following message from steam.....


steam - error
this game is currently unavailable (application running)

ive uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times but no change, i've emailed steam support but not heard anything yet. was hoping one of you gaming/steam pro's could shed some light on it. the steam library says of fm13 '2hours played last played today' regardless of the fact ive not been on it. also, when i try to exit steam i get the message 'waiting for fm to shutdown' followed by another steam -error saying 'please close football manager before exiting steam'

any help or suggestions appreciated.... thanks

it now says three hours played, not sure if my fm code has been nicked or whether it thinks its running on my system....
