NMac1994 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Can you run the 3D ME? (I assume it is an Intel GMA 950?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_1967 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 tbf Netbooks aren't designed for gaming in any real capacity. Most of them only have an Intel Atom processor which isnt going to be powerful enough for most games (other than solitaire etc). I suspect to provide netbook support would increase SI's workload considerably for what I imagine is only a very small market. (I've yet to meet anyone who wants to play games but only owns a netbook) I all honesty I cant see netbooks being supported. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larker Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 there will be a day when either netbooks surpass the minimum requirements, or fm netbook edition is released. sadly that day will not be oct 30th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a growing netbook market and the specs of them are up and beyond those of some normal PC's that can run the game...The only sticking point is the resolution...I don't use my netbook for serious gaming as never been a serious gamer but being able to play FM would be nice...surely to provide the support wouldn't cost that much, its just a shame to miss out because I choose to own a setup that suits my lifestyle.

Sobek Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 The clue's in the name. Netbooks are designed for, yep, surfing the net. not games. Buy a higher spec laptop or desktop if you want to play modern games. (posted from my dell netbook) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macflyer Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Netbooks might be designed "low spec" but it doesn´t mean they can´t play games. I do have a netbook and have been playing FM08 successfully. Remember, they easily can output higher resolutions on external monitors. On the road, it´s a bit of scrolling but for a game like FM doable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMac1994 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Does the 3D work? What graphics do you have in the netbook? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sean Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I am currently running FM 09 on my netbook...errr, I should say I have run it on 2 different netbooks and it works FINE. To do this, you have to play it in windowed format. Here is the target you insert: fm.exe" -small_screen -windowed Insert this on the target line after the executable command. It plays fine. You miss out on some info and the resolution is manageable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 How is the 3D match view? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hehehemann Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Could you use the netbook to play the game remotely from another PC ? I'm unsure as to what the resolution would show. TheSean - I'm in Denver too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sean Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 3D match view has a few hiccups. I run it in the lowest graphics mode to run the 3D. I only run it when I feel the need to watch in 3D and I prefer the end-to-end view for this as it requires less video processing given fewer images moving on the screen. I have also run it on more powerful computers and I would say that the 3D capabilities are probably 80% - 90% on the netbook. The only processing difference b/w the netbook and a higher end laptop (Dell Latitude E5500, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.0 GHz, 4GB RAM, with a GMA 4500 onboard video card with only 64 MB of dedicated memory, even though it can share memory...I know, not a great video card and an HP that is now broken but was my personal MECCA machine) is that it takes noticeably longer on the netbook--but not ridiculously so. As to playing it remotely, I have never tried that. Also, Dafuge, I realize that the SI crew would probably like more feedback on how the game runs on netbooks. If so, let me know. BTW hehehemann, where in Denver are you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hehehemann Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 BTW hehehemann, where in Denver are you? I'm in Littleton. Moved to the states 10 years ago, was in Sarasota, FL previously for 6 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sean Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Quick update. I just added the netbook09 skin and now I do not have the screen chopped in any areas (just rearranged). Also, I can see all player attributes, etc. The 3D is as posted above... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unsure as to what the resolution would show.TheSean - I'm in Denver too why remotely, just plug-in another monitor in that VGA output and press Fn+F8 to cycle through modes, when you pick external monitor mode only, you can set higher resolution from vga card properties Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsey Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 You'll have to excuse me being dim - what file and where? Been a while since I messed about with PC games! OK, managed to find that out, but still can't get it to run - vanilla or strawberry demo. The window opens and I then get the "Windows encountered an error..." message. Seems to be a conflict somewhere but have no idea where. My netbook is a Dell 910. A mate with a Samsung NC10 (I think) with the same specs got it running with the above....

solstar Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 If its not a space issue then check that you have all the add-one installed. Java, Flash and a long etc. Also check to see that the installation is installed in the correct drive as that could cause a compatability issue.

FrikoBergo Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hey! Is it possible to play FM10 on a Latitude 2100? Is there an update or something to download? The process starts when i launch the game, but nothing happens. Tried to change the compabilitysettings but it didn't do any good, and Windows 7 is not on the list. Help anyone?

SI Staff Ter Posted January 15, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted January 15, 2010 We design all the screens in Football Manager to fit on a minimum screen size of 1024x768 so there are going to be obvious problems with Netbooks and their reduced screen size. For those of you having problems then you should be able to find an excellent community created Netbook skin in the Graphics section of these forums and instructions on how to get that up and running. We don't offer any support for this kind of thing though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently bought a netbook for my missus and installed Sims 1 on it. Now I'm left in peace with FM while she's even more addicted to her game!

Same thing, you need to create a shortcut 1st and type the same thing you make FM into windowed mode, the small screen words at the end. See post 10.
