Games of the Fifa series are by far one of the most popular among football simulations. Only the Pro Evolution Soccer series can compete with them: these two lines are the most famous among fans of virtual football. Fifa games have been released for a very long time, each of them had its own problems with the launch or the game process itself, but only in Fifa 12, which was released in 2011, there was a very serious problem with crashes.
On the Russian-language forums concerning this version of the simulator, messages began to appear that Fifa 12 did not start. Almost everyone had problems. Therefore, it took some time to understand how to run Fifa 12. The reason turned out to be quite banal - the new version of the game simply did not perceive Russian characters on the way to the game data folder. That is, if you installed Fifa 12 in the "Games" folder, and not in the "Games" folder, then you had a problem with the launch. The more serious part of the question turned out to be related not to the root folder of the game, but to the one containing the save - it is located on drive C, that is, it is located in the "My Documents" folder. The catch is that it’s impossible to simply take and rename this folder, as you can do with the one called “Games”. Therefore, the question of how to run Fifa 12 without problems had to be decided more creatively.
Solution
Of course, this brought a lot of inconvenience to game lovers of the series, but its real fans would never leave trying to find a solution to how to run Fifa 12. The answer was found quite quickly - just install the game not through the administrator profile in Windows, but through any another that can even be created specifically for this purpose.
The fact is that if the profile does not have administrator rights and is not the main one in the system, then the folder names in it can be changed without any problems. But after all, not everyone wants to create a new profile solely in order to play it in Fifa 12. It is much more convenient when all the programs necessary at the moment are immediately at hand. So gamers had to think about how to run Fifa 12 on the same profile, that is, on the administrator profile. The solution turned out to be much simpler than it might seem: it was only necessary to create another profile, but not install the game on it, but simply transfer administrator rights to it. After that, in the main profile, all the necessary functions become available, and you can easily change the Russian-language folder names to English-language ones. Then safely return the administration rights to your main profile, and delete the created profile. That's all you need to know if you are going to play Fifa 12.
The problem with tournaments
Quite often tournaments on sports simulations are held everywhere, and Fifa 12 is no exception in this regard.
Fifa 12 tournaments are not so popular anymore, since the next part of the game was released almost a year ago, but among fans there are fans of individual parts who do not look at the year of release, but enjoy the process of a particular series of games. And in case of holding a tournament precisely according to Fifa 12, it is necessary to make sure in advance that on the computers that will participate in the tournament, all the necessary folders have English names.
