FM Running Slow

[Deutschland]

FM LAGS so much for me! What could be wrong? I don't think it's the computer - 2.4ghz, 512MB ram... I have no sound cache or anything.. how can I make it faster??

 

[Ebonix]

Dunno, did you have allot of other programs running at all?

It ran very quickly for me on an AMD Athlon 2000+XP with 256 MB Ram

 

[Deutschland]

I have MSN and Internet Explorer open.

 

[ngyc]

downloading? usually internet usage will have a little bit affect on your cpu usage

 

[Deutschland]

Nope, I'm not downloading anything. Any settings I can change in the computer to make it quicker?

You can raise the priority of FM in the Task Manager (ctrl, alt + del).
Right click on FM and set the priority somewhat higher.

 

[Deutschland]

Lol, is "Realtime" the highest? Or what?

 

[rpvankasteren]

Yes, but that means all other running processes will halt when FM is calculating something. The probability of your system crashing will rise a bit

you idiot rob, i can even play FM with other programs open, close MSN and IE for gods sake

TROD.

I think the speed element is a compaitability issue, report it as a bug on the football manager forum

 

[Rangers#50#]

Dunno what the problem is as it is working good for me but yeah report it just incase.

IF hes got other stuff open of course its gonna run slowish. I always play CM/FM with winamp and Firefox or Msn Open so im used to the "slowness"

LOL. Well I feel lonely if I have nothing else open

Some screens load slow, while it should be done instanlty, the days are simulated fast enough, im not sure the game simulation faster than CM03/04, and finaly that 40% faster thingy was pure sh!t. If anything it's slower. Tho I think it's rather same as fast.

 

[alex2003]

Agreed, nowhere near 40% faster, not even close.

 

[Parra Power]

on my computer id say its 20-30% faster

 

[champdave]

On our P3 866mhz / 384mb RAM ( ) it does seem to be a lot quicker than CM0304. I play with Winamp and BitTorrent on too.

It's the beta demo people. SI said they're still doing optimisation and i think the gold demo will be faster.

 

[ngyc]

whats the different between beta demo and gold demo? i didn't have any experience on CM demo before

the first CM i played was CM4 and it was introduce by my friend. so i never have any CM demo before. can some 1 explain to me?

 

[Lean]

The beta demo is slower, and most of the stuff that will be on the game wont be on the beta demo. The gold demo is almost the game itself, with limited features though. That's what i think.
