Just installed. Won't play matches.

[neiltaylor83]

Hello,

I recently brought FM 2010 to play on my MAC.

The game installs fine, however when I went to play my first match, I go to start but the game will not play.

Once I hit 'play game' the pop up window 'setting up match' appears, however it does not go away. I think the game starts behind the window as I can hear match sounds.

I restarted and tried again, but this time with the game in 'traditional' mode, with the old school text screens. The game starts then, but soon stops. I assume once it tries to go into the graphics of the match.

The last FM game I played was 08, and I assumed everything would be okay. I run on a dual core 2Ghz processor which is fine. 1GB 667 Mhz DDr2 SDRAM which should be fine. The only thing I can think might be the graphics card, which is a Intel GMA 950, 64MB of a shared memory system.

Hope someone can help.

Much appreciated.

Neil

Have you tried running with the 3D and the sounds turned off?

Yea - I can see your problem. As you said - you only have 64mb of dedicated graphics memory - the game needs a minimum of 128mb.

i do not think is the graphic card problem... i having a GMA 945, but i'm at least able to run the game 2D match.

Try disabling every graphic related options... dunno it will helps

Try updating your graphics card drivers and directx

I think turning your sounds off in preferences sorts this out.
