How do you start on online game? I was going to start one with my mate, but, we couldn't connect.
BTW get some who doesn't have a router to host the game.
I want to start a network game on Football Manager, what should I do?
Starting a network game:
1. Load up Football Manager.
2. Ensure that you have the ‘Run As Server’ option ticked in the ‘Network’ tab under game preferences.
3. It is recommended that for network games you have ‘Move Matches for TV’ un-ticked in your preferences.
It is important that not only the host, but all clients have this option unchecked at all times.
4. Select ‘New Game’ from the main menu as you would for starting an offline game.
5. Set up your game to the preferences of your choice like you would for an offline game. Be aware that more leagues you run, the slower the game will run.
6. Now that your game is all set up you can give other players your IP so that they can connect to you. You can locate your IP via the ‘Game Status’ screen or via a website such as www.whatsmyip.org
Joining a network game:
1. Load up Football Manager.
2. It is recommended that for network games you have ‘Move Matches for TV’ un-ticked in your preferences.
It is important that not only the host, but all clients have this option unchecked at all times.
3. Select ‘Network’ from the main menu.
4. Select ‘Join Other Server’ and then enter the hosts IP address to join the game.
