CazzaLTFC Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I've just done a little experiment using my old laptop to test out the patched fm11 to see if the 2d match engine is slow and juddery. And even though my older laptop specs are nowhere near as good as my currents, the 2d match runs absolutely fine!! How does that work? My old laptop specs are - Windows XP - Genuine Intel® CPU - T2500 @ 2.00GHZ - 1.99 GB RAM - mobile intel® 945gm express chipset family graphics New laptop specs - Intel Core i3-330m processor - Windows 7 - Intel HD Graphics - 500GB HDD -4GB MEM Any ideas on why my old laptop has no problem running the 2d match engine when my new one does??

Gandy Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Just my two cents, but I think Windows XP is better for games. Or so I’ve been told .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazzaLTFC Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hmm, I'd like to think that wasn't the case! I'm trying to narrow down what the problem might be basically, I'd like to be able to play FM11 properly sometime soon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
0gris Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 It's definetly not a windows issue. Seems really confusing though, try turning off your AV temporarily, or any other programs that might hinder performance in any way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazzaLTFC Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Yeah I just don't understand it! Stupid question, but whats an AV? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazzaLTFC Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Okay, so i disabled the anti virus while playing and noticed a slight difference in the 2d match performance, better, but still not quite as good as previous FM's or FM11 without the patches!

athos Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Because your new laptop with win7 runs more processes than your old laptop with winXP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazzaLTFC Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 What's the best way to stop those processes getting in the way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
athos Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 End them with Task Manager. Make sure you know what they're for first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazzaLTFC Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 OK, i'll check that out. Although, like i've said before, FM11 works fine without the patches, ie the 11.0 version. It's just with the patches the whole thing slows down, that's the problem really! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
