FM17 asking me to re-install?

[ghamilton90]

When i try to start FM17 it requires me to install it again, eventhough its been installed previously and i have been playing the game for months!

I played FM14 briefly, just for a bit of nostalgia to have a look at one of my old saves. When i came out of FM14 i then tried to laucnh FM17, this is when the issue occured.

Does anyone know why this is happening and most importantly a solution... the main thing is that i do not want to lose my saves.

Help!

Your saves will still be where you left them, they can only be removed manually. Seems strange though that FM would uninstall - do you have any kind of anti-virus installed on your system? If so, what type?

I have to reinstall every time I reboot, at least saves are intact. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying.

Last played it on the 12th and mine is doing exactly the same. fired up the computer today and telling me I need to install again! Just trying it and seeing how it goes, not happy though as I only wanted to hop on for a quick game before cracking on with other things :(

Has happened with me no less than 4 times. Couple of times it was random and couple of times my pc died without closing the game. Latest save file obviously was gone. Not even install part, it said I had to download again, but because files were already there, it finished itself in couple of minutes. You do lose latest save file. Gets corrupted. What could be reason behind this?

Well if your system is having instability issues then it sounds like a larger overall problem. I would suggest seeing an IT professional in regards to getting your system fixed.
