jprthomas Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi, I've had a quick glance at other topics, but cant find anything mentioned, i've been unable to download the demo due to internet problems- but can anyone tell me how the game performs on older machines? I noticed that FM is continuing (imo) the ridiculous 3d match engine thing-but does it slow the game down even more? I can run FM 09 fine on my laptop-although it does slow to a snails pace after a few seasons. I've got FM 10 on pre-order so hoping my laptop is good enough! On the 3D thing, one thing that always set the CM/FM franchise apart from the other management sims was the emphasis on realism and playability over graphics gimmicks- I hope FM arent going down that route.

robertodibaggio Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Have you seen the 3D in action? Just think of them as glorified dots. It plays really very well, not at all gimicky. The match engine is solid, the representation is solid and for you to dismiss them as ridiculous when it seems you haven't experienced them is frankly, stupid.

isuckatfm Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 FM 10 runs faster than 09, especially if you tailor it with detail settings minimised for leagues you aren't managing in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0man Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 on my 4 year old laptop the 3D matchplay was very very choppy, even with all settings dropped to min. I had to switch it to 2D view. If you don't care about the 3D view then you should be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can run fm09 on your computer then you should be fine with fm10. I think its a bit quicker but that was only a demo with a small database and 1 league so we'll have to wait for the full game to judge the speed properly. If you are from the uk jprthomas then I would seriously consider cancelling your pre-order and buy from a shop instead because if the company you are ordering from use royal mail for deliveries then the chances of getting you game on release day is very slim indeed.

jprthomas Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Thanks for the replies everybody-even yours robertodibiaggio! I'll still be buying mine from Zavvi-would rather save upwards of a tenner and be a few days late than buy it on the day for almost twice the price!

jordanswinburn Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I have played it on a 1.6ghz single core processor with 768mb ram, and it ran faster than FM09 on a 2.6ghz dual core 4gb ram machine! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol CityFC1981 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I have a 4 year old laptop, at times FM09 was slow and very annoying!! The FM10 demo runs like a dream!!! i cant believe the difference!! I just cant watch the 3D very well but that is not a problem for me as i prefere the classic 2D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chob Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 works fine on my 3/4 yr old comp. except for the 3d match but I dont watch it in 3d anyway so im happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it will run quicker since its only a small database with 1 league. Wait until the full game is out and try it with 20+ leagues with a large database and see how you get on with a single core machine with just 768mb ram.

My computer knowledge is fairly limited, so not sure if thats enough to go on! I dont think i have a graphics card. Right click on the my computer icon and select properties from the small menu that appears. Once the properties screen loads look to the right for device manager and click on it. When this loads look for display adapters and click on this and it will tell you about the graphics card in your computer. Hope that helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
