First go to the folder where your FHM3 is installed. Then right click on the FHM3.exe file. You'll find there's an option to 'Create Shortcut'. Click on that.
The computer will then generate a file named something like 'fhm3.exe - Shortcut'
Right click on that file, then select 'Properties'. A little box will pop up. The box will have a box called Target:
In that box will be something that looks like this: "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Franchise Hockey Manager 3\fhm3.exe"
It won't be exactly the same since you aren't using the Steam version, but it'll still be the path to your install and end in fhm3.exe"
Immediately after the quotation marks enter the following: tracemode usedesktopopengl (make sure to include the space at the start)
Now the line should look like this:
D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Franchise Hockey Manager 3\fhm3.exe tracemode usedesktopopengl
Close the properties box and try starting FHM using the new shortcut that you just created and modified.
It should work for you. You'll need to start the game each time in the future using the same shortcut. If it helps you can always create a shortcut to the shortcut on your desktop or start menu, or wherever it's easiest for you to access.
Let us know if that works for you!
