When I start up the game it tells me to press any button to start. I press a button and then it tells me to insert the disk and press continue. I don't have a disk because I purchased the premium Deluxe Edition online it's bought-and-paid-for it says the game is installed but everytime I press continue it just pops up again please insert disc.

    Make a folder on the C: with the name 'MFS DISK 1'

    Copy the files from the DVD 1 to this folder, but not the cabinet files (data1 and data2) and data1.hdr.

    Download IsoCreator. (it's free)

    IsoCreator ask for an ISO File Path. I chose C:\FS2020

    Volume Name MFS DISK 1

    Folder Path: C:\MFS DISK 1

    Start

    Open the ISO file (FS2020.ISO)

    You must see something like Dvd-station (G:) MFS DISK 1 (see explorer)

    Start FS.

    works for me

    thx

    I wonder why I should have the disks, as the version I bought was from Microsoft Store, some 90+ GB download? Maybe Microsoft could send me the disks if they do not have any better solution?

    I had to install the digital license again, had to reset the game file in apps and select repair and turn off my firewall.

    It then began the long install of 91gb.

    I did also get the message to insert the disc, I am Gamepass user. It finally worked after deactivating:

    • windows defender firewall
    • windows defender real time protection

    Hope that helps people, who use the microsoft AV and firewall. Funny (NOT) that a Microsoft software hinders me to install a Microsoft software...
