Football Manager 2010 – Patch 10.2.0 Now Available

by Johnny Karp 17 December 2009 38 Comments

That’s right, a new patch that fixes a lot of things in your Football Manager 2010 game, lots of fixes and improvements available. The most important improvement if you ask me is the reduced memory usage, that was an annoying issue so far. It will also be interesting to see if the changes will have some effect on the tactics we’re using, there are quite a few match engine changes that could make a difference.

You can find a complete list of fixes and improvements, as well as the download links, here.

@Dom
I’m using the new patch and all the graphics I added still work, so you can download and use them with the 10.2.

hey Johnny,

Long time reader, First time writer here.

Probably a silly question but i was just wondering if you have to restart your game when you install the patch?

Thanks

Johnny Karp (author) said:

Chris, you don’t have to restart the game, you can continue playing your old games. However, the new database of the latest patch won’t be “active” unless you start a new game.

hi jonny, iv just down loaded latest patch for fm2010 wots the next stage, how do i put it into game?, thanx mate.

Johnny Karp (author) said:

Richie, as far as I know the patch is an executable file, just run it and specify the where you installed the game, everything should work automatically. I have bought the game through Steam and in my case the patches get downloaded and installed automatically, I don’t have to do anything.

Richie said:

ok thanks for that jonny, if i get game thru steam how to u add face packs etc?

# 31 December 2009 at 21:25

Johnny Karp (author) said:

Richie, you can add those the same way, in the My Documents/Sports Interactive/… folder, just like with the CD game.

Hi Johny,

first, thx for whole blog, I found it helpful and intersting.
I have a question for you, I downloaded Patch 10.2.0 and excuted it, however there is a message keeps poping up says ” no CD is found”, please note that I bought the game by downloading it from VIRGIN so no CD is availale in the first place.

Please help me since I don’t want to lose my so-far saving game.

expecting your reply at earliest.

THX,
Moh’d

Johnny Karp (author) said:

I don’t know anything about how the game is installed from Virgin, I’m clueless. Don’t they auto patch the game like Steam does? I guess you should ask Virgin about it or maybe ask in the SiGames forums, I really don’t know how to help you.

Moh'd said:

THX Johnny anyway.

Appreciate your quick reply.

Johnny Karp (author) said:

Rian, please follow the guide on the official website on how to install the patch, I have my game through Steam so I didn’t install the patch, it was done automatically.

I have tried stadium backgrounds in FM 10 but couldn’t get them to work either… I hope somebody will come up with a solution soon.

jon said:

I know this is probably just a bad run of form, but is the game now harder?

# 1 February 2010 at 16:45

Johnny Karp (author) said:

@Jon
There are some changes but I don’t think the game is more difficult after the patch.

# 1 February 2010 at 17:05

Bilal Ahmad said:

Jon definately the came isn’t harder try playing around with your tactics, formation and players until you find a good balance and then keep it the same for as long as you can!

# 1 February 2010 at 17:23

jon said:

Ok cool, any news on when the next patch is out?

# 1 February 2010 at 17:28

Johnny Karp (author) said:

I don’t know anything about a new patch but there probably will be one.

# 1 February 2010 at 17:51

Bilal Ahmad said:

Yes there will be a new patch out most likely after the transfer window closes. Source- http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?p=4451717#poststop

i downloaded it , and when i update it gets to 710 updated files and it says ‘violation occured’

# 13 February 2010 at 16:13

Johnny Karp (author) said:

From what I know that error occurs if you try to patch the game while it’s running, so try to close it before patching. I might be wrong though but it’s worth a try.

Alex said:

I downloaded patch and started new game to set the database but it still isnt having any effect on my game. What should i do?

# 18 February 2010 at 14:53

Johnny Karp (author) said:

Alex, did you install the patch or not?

# 18 February 2010 at 14:55

Alex said:

Dunno, i think i did but remind me how, brains gone blank today!

# 18 February 2010 at 15:03

Johnny Karp (author) said:

I bought my game through Steam and I don’t need to download or install the patches, they are done automatically. But if you said you downloaded the patch then I think it’s an executable file you have to run like any other installer, just double click it and it will tell you what to do next.

Alex said:

Ok thanks for your help
