Whulfc86 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I have only managed to get past a season once with West Ham on my first game since then the game keeps freezing at different points! I'm done with playing the game now as I don't feel like spending time to set up a team and then all of a sudden the game freezing! sometimes after 6 months sometimes after a year! complete waste of money and cant get a refund because bought it through steam!

JJ 691990 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 try putting this in the techinical issues thread? maybe they will help you there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Are you patched? Are the freezes crashes (crash dumps) or does it just cease to work? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whulfc86 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 I put in in the technical issues thread before and loaded a game up onto some server thing but I can't get back the game I lost, so started another one and this time it crashed sooner I think around january 2nd 2009 managing Newcastle. What do you mean by a crash dump? I just want my game to work! I'm not great with all the technical aspects of computers which it seems like you have to be to play this game.

Neji Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 What happens when the game crashes? Does it shut the game down and give you an error message? Also, have you installed the patch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, have you installed the patch? no the game doesnt shut down or give me an error message. Most of the time I don't realise its crashed because it looks like its still trying to load but then when i click on the screen it goes black and thats it!

Whulfc86 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 What happens when it crashes and you try to reload the saved game or just FM in general? I can reload my saved game but then it crashed at exactly the same point again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bean824 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Very useful. If you're not going to post anything worthwhile, then please don't bother posting at all I'm sorry, but I'm frustrated with FM and the people on these forums. I spent £30 on a game that is unplayable, and when I comment on it on the forums all I get is personal attacks and infractions. You can understand my frustration.

Neji Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 What are your specs and have you installed the patch? bean, I don't want to discuss it in here because it's someone elses thread but I can understand frustration but making pointless posts like the one I pointed out doesn't help anyone, and instead will only serve to rile people up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patch is installed. How do I find out where my specs are listed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Right click on My Computer and choose properties. It will then list your specs under Computer. I'd also advise uploading a save and updating your previous thread in the bugs forum or create a new one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Processor: 6320 @ 1.86 GHz 1.87GHz Memory: 2.00GB I haven't even heard about the last game I uploaded there weeks ago, whats the point? it doesnt help me in playing the game.

Neji Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 What operating system? I thought you said you couldn't find the game so you didn't upload? If you did upload, you didn't reply in your thread or make any posts saying that you uploaded, as far as I can see anyway so it's only natural you didn't hear anything back.

daylight Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I was getting the same problem with "freeze's" but as someone else said earlier run it in windowed mode,I have played alot of different saves(trying to get a tactic but thats another thread)and it never freezes for me in windowed mode. edit-for the life of me I cant remember what it was but was advised to switch something else off as well as running it in windowed mode maybe someone else knows what that was?

Neji Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Windows XP or Vista? If you upload a game, you should make a post about it. Otherwise the SI guys won't know what/whose it is. I'd upload the save your having trouble with and update your previous thread... http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=76564 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakers Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 This is the freezing issue. If you look in the technical bugs forum, there's a thread there called "FM Freezing - not responding". Yes, windowed mode makes the game more stable, but it still lock sup randomly from time to time, and its not a proper fix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I just had a look and I really dont know if this would help but I was told to run it in windowed mode and switch "threading" off and the freezes I was getting no longer happen,though like wakers said I think this is a quick fix for some people but may not work for everyone.

daylight Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Though OP cant you just run a rolling weekly save and then if it does freeze up you could just start from the last save?I know it isnt ideal but only a few days till the next patch and it could be sorted then.

I have it on weekly save anyway from when my previous games kept freezing. But it doesn't help as it gets to a certain point and just wont go any further no matter how many times i load it back up. guess ill just wait for the patch then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope come Thursday these problems are gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakers Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 its a threading problem. I.e. they foobarred the threading coding when they were developing FM09 but mystically managed to avoid it in all in house multi-cored machines, despite it causing problems on many many many many multi-cored machines.
