nti-Virus or Spyware Scanning Software is conflicting with Steam
Please add “FM.exe”to the list of exclusions within your security software. If this alone doesn't work we would suggest adding the entire Steam folder to the list of exclusions.
Unfortunately we cannot give specific steps on how to do this as it is dependent on your anti-virus program but usually it is as follows: navigate to Antivirus -> Advanced Settings -> Exclusions and add the “FM.exe” there.
The “FM.exe” can be found at “C: Program Files -> Steam ->steamapps -> common -> football manager 2013”
Some security software can also prevent the normal loading operation of Steam games, including common errors such as “Unable to load filesystem_steam.dl
l” and “Engine Error: Could not load library client”.
We’re aware that some Anti-Virus programs have encountered issues allowing Steam to run, the main being the following:
- Avast!
- AVG
- BitDefender
- PC Tools
- Spyware Doctor
- Threatfire
For these programs, if you still cannot launch the game even after configuring them to allow Steam to run, we suggest uninstalling the security software (disabling often will not turn it off fully). However, it’s very important to note if you undertake this make certain that Windows Firewall is switched on so you still have some protection. We've also found that the free Anti-virus program Microsoft Security Essentials has been able to run Steam without any problems.
