Football Manager 2009 Slower Than 2008?

Hello,

This could just be me, but i find with my FM 2009 its a lot slower than FM 2008. On match days, the 2D pitch seems to be laggy also it leaves players spots where they were although the arent thre anymore. Also at end of games processing fixtures is really slow for some reason as well on 08 it was much quicker, ive tried setting the settings to saving no data from other games, and i still have this issue?

Any help guys?

what spec laptop pc have you got?

Are you using threading

I'd expect it to need more processing power like most games that get released

i dont understad what is threading?? its better or worst using it??

My computer spec is (its not a laptop btw)

AMD Athlon 64 processor

3500+

2.20 Ghz

1GB RAM

300 GB Hard Drive

Operating System is Windows XP

I noticed that too and I'm running the game with 4GB,a 8800 GTs and a quadcore.

Looks like a programming ''issue'' rather then your PC.

Noticed what, 2D lag?

I'm playing with almost the same setup, before 9.2.0 it could drag on match day but I've found it to be fine since 9.2.0 (UI and ME)

Yeah that thought crossed my mind too, was just wondering if it was my PC what was at fault rather than a programming error perhaps.

From sounds of it shizzle your computer is better than mine, so if your having similar issues then it has to be a programming issue

Yeah im experienceing 2D lag same. Yeah also my players also seem to drag on matchdays.

how many leagues are you running? I have a quadcore with 4GB of RAM and a GTX 260 graphics card.

I state the spec for a reason.. that being.. around 20 leagues i get no lag on the UI but at around 40+ leagues i get lag on the UI such as having to wait for a second or 2 after i click on a team or player etc. Don't push it too hard.

just means if you have a dual/quad core processor then the game will use all CPUs to process, so is better as should give faster processing

The most nations i will use is 4 really.

i allways activate all the english leagues (Prem to Blue SQ prem)

but from there i will only select 2 divisons from other nations, (Serie A and Serie B) for example.

Yes sometimes I see it being Slower than 08 but I find it a lot more playable than 08.

Possibly due to the high detail in adding the 3d etc.

I find it a bit slower, but I find it does this every few years, next year will be quicker and the year after quicker still, then a little slower, then fater etc.... Prob to do with new features, then each year it being tuned a bit more. Cyclical.
