Contains a virus? My AntiVir detected VGEN/26437.0 virus. Does it really contain one?

WaAn 10-03-2006 05:37 PM

I'll try to scan it. What antivir are you using?

I hope there is a manual for this game soon. Very steep learning curb if you don't have a manual.

WaAn 10-03-2006 06:24 PM

No virus! You can play it.

Bluntman 10-03-2006 11:48 PM

Wow, another classic. :ok: Thanx Abandonia.

Ness 11-03-2006 03:45 PM

In Germany, this game was called "Bundesliga Manager Hattrick" and it was somewhat a direct successor to "Bundesliga Manager Professional".

Icewolf 13-03-2006 08:16 AM

There's a German source for the manual and stuff.
But this won't help too much since were so much international.

Just PM me if still you want the link. :ok:

velik_m 13-03-2006 09:27 AM

why is this game double zipped? a zip file in a zip doesn't make any sense.

I found the same virus from go.exe VGEN/26437.0

gregor 14-03-2006 05:30 AM

my virus scan finds Mirc and recognises it as a virus.

SineNomine 16-03-2006 03:57 PM

It seems it does not work on Win XP....when I try to open the game, the window is shut down after the presentation of Ocean logo.
Does anyone have the same problem?

Guest 18-03-2006 09:00 PM

to sine: try with dosbox. drag the fltd file into the dosbox exe file and play!

Darkfire 22-03-2006 07:50 AM

Does anyone have the german version???

Icewolf 22-03-2006 07:52 AM

I do! :bleh:

Klick here for German speech packs. :ok:

Secludus 05-04-2006 10:00 AM

It doesn't work for me. I hit the program 'GO' and the screen showed what appeared to look like the copyrights list they show before a game starts up. I hit enter to skip it and then it shows the Ocean logo with a dolphin swimming past it, after that, unless I skip it, the computer goes back to the main screen.

I haven't downloaded anything from the website (such as DOSbox, etc). Am I missing something, or am I doing something wrong?

Icewolf 05-04-2006 10:07 AM

Sorry are you absolutely sure that you're talking about Football Ltd. ? The game that is mentioned in the topic... :blink:
It's not made by ocean.

Guest 05-04-2006 10:10 AM

Yes I am sure that I am talking about Football Limited.

I'm having the same problem as SineNomine, in other words.

Icewolf 05-04-2006 10:33 AM

I run it on a Dos-machine I set up for those kind of games, so I guess DosBox would help indeed. I know that in Win 98 for example there were several times in the game when the game crashed.
You better run most of the game you get here in DosBox. :ok:

I think you are talking about Bundesliga manager, and not about the Football limited, but in the case about the two games, they need dos-box.... :whistle:

Val Terra 18-06-2006 09:24 PM

S'cuse me, but anybody got a manual for all those switches in the "options" menu? I'd like to "pimp my game"... ^_^

If so, please mail me at *whirr - email removed*

thanx

Icewolf 19-06-2006 08:37 AM

I only have the German description. Does that help you?

Guest 07-07-2006 08:17 AM

Thank u so much guys.It is working now.

IberianWolf 25-08-2006 05:38 PM

hey everyone... I'd just like to ask for a manual or a guide or something, 'cause there's a lot of stuff in the game I don't understand... I mean, I don't know what it does, and the settings is just one of those things... the description in german would be okay, by the way... ;)

other than that, I must say the game is pretty addictive, but i feel there's something missing... I don't know, maybe it's because i don't know how to do it but I feel the game lacks some interaction with the players and such... I still don't know if it's possible to simply fire a player... but anyway, i loved this game.


by the way, at a certain point in the game i stop seeing the animations during the games... well, it basically skips the game itself! anyone knows the problem?

Icewolf 28-08-2006 07:40 AM

You can get the german manuals, discriptions and everything else from a free source.
PM me for the link. :ok:

Nachlader 21-09-2006 03:07 PM

What do I need to do now after unzipping all files? I can't find the program.

The Fifth Horseman 21-09-2006 03:32 PM

You need to run the game.

Nachlader 21-09-2006 04:04 PM

Well, duh. That's obvious.

I've followed the DOSbox instructions and I am up to the point in the tutorial where I am asked to type 'install' upon failing that I type in 'setup' but I still don't know what to do find 'configurations'.

The Fifth Horseman 21-09-2006 04:19 PM

Try entering the following commands in the game directory:
Dir *.exe
Dir *.bat
Dir *.com
And running the filenames they return.

Guest 05-02-2007 04:00 PM

I can't even get the game to run >.<

The Fifth Horseman 14-02-2007 02:51 PM

Use DosBox to run the game. You can download it here.

Guest 26-03-2010 09:48 AM

Yes I would love a manual.. And a explanation of what are the letters at the top in the first screen shot (the L,R,D,A,C,S,Fo, etc.) Because I want to know my players' energy levels and make sure I don't play them too much. And I can't even find that.

I could help you if you're able to read german.
PM me, if that is the case.

Buying players / Entice Away
 
How do you buy players that are not listed for a transfer by another club?

On my old 386 - it was a matter of going to a player's screen and clicking to a certain spot. I believe it was a right-click. But it was like 16-17 years ago, and I can't remember.

Also, I'm playing it in DosBox, so the right-click is mostly "Back" button.

What can I do? My squad is the oldest in PL, and I have some 20M to spend, but I need to buy players that are not listed.

Please help!

I've forgot and remembered how to do this several times)))).

So here is a recipe - go to Transfer window, press button "Entice away", then find interesting team, list all the players, and do a LONG click (press and hold for 2 secs) with your left mouse button. If a club doesn't want to release a player - the game says you, that "The club need this player URGENTLY!", and you couldn't buy him, but if a player is not in the first team plans - it will bring you a standart contract offer window, where you can offer a transfer fee and contract to the player.

You can do a maximum of 5 entices per season! Good luck!

P.S. BTW, it's still hard to buy a goalkeeper in first 2 years of game))

P.P.S. But you don't need a GK player to put in goals, you can put there a 90+ striker or midfielder) and have your goals locked pretty nice 8-)

P.P.S. And here is link to an English scanned manual of this GREAT game!!!
