I got a new mac yesterday and when i went to play fm08, it was very weird as the advertising screens loaded perfectly but when it went to the homepage/starting pag etc, it was a blank screen and the only words you can see are load last game.

example:


i tried continuing and as you can see the screen is pretyt much screwed up throughout





how can i fix this. its very weird to me as the game worked on my old 10.3.9 and my mums computer which is the same as mine, a macbook 10.5.3.

IIRC, its to do with the skin. You didn't happen to download and perhaps delete an old skin?

reinstalled the game 4 times and nothing, the screen was still messed up, however i downloaded the 8.0.1 patch and it works now, all weird but im happy. cheers

Did you delete everything SI fro your mac? Go to the spotlight and type in Sports Interactive. Delete every file there. Do the same, but type in Football Manager, delete every file it finds. Empty your trash can.

Re-install FM08, and it should work. If not, I'll have a look around the Mac forum for you, but that seems the most logical answer.
