Awesome! Thanks for the link. It's been a grueling wait~ Downloading and trying the new version now

Just a heads up here.. I went to download the setup file through internett explorer and got the message.. file did not download due to security risk.. so I had to hit the.. allow download tab so it would start.. not sure if it's on my end or not.. but I don't remember that ever happening with any OOTP Developments product I've ever bought before

The link for PC is not working for me.

Same thing happened to me. I think this might be a windows or browser setting change (from Microsoft?). I also recently encountered similar things with other website or download. Sometimes even downloading a simple picture image file would give me this......

It should not be related to FHM. I allowed the download and the installation works fine.

Yeah, that's likely Microsoft trying to be "helpful" with an .exe link.

Edster007 · 10-26-2021, 10:41 AM

It's probably me doing something (or not doing something) but when I click on the mac link it attempts to open and buffers for about 10 seconds and closes.

Any tips on getting PC link to work. Click on it and nothing happens....

Try right-clicking and "save link as." Or if that doesn't work, right-click, copy link, and paste it in the browser address bar.

I was able to download "using save link as" now the next step, I cant get the game activated. I am getting activation error please try again in a few minutes. I copy/pasted the key in as well as typed it manually.

The activation servers are likely to be pretty busy at the moment, give it a few minutes and it should let you in.

Try copying it from this:

Code:

http://cdnfiles.ootpdevelopments.com/fhm/fhm8/versions/8.1.47/fhm8setup.exe

I think you may have only gotten the abbreviated link that shows up on the forum.

That worked. Download started. Thank you!

I know for 100% certain that I did not adjust the roster rules (players dressed 20, active roster 23), but my custom game rules are showing 17 dressed, 15 skater and 2 goalies. Please advise as it's not letting me adjust after loading the initial setup (which again 0% chance I adjusted the roster rules).

You won't be able to adjust it again until the next July 1. But what type of league and league structure was it? I'll see if I can replicate that.
