skinnymalinky Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 The old FM just about ran on my rather ancient PC, but I'm really struggling with this newer version. I've disabled the 3D match engine, the sounds, the players photos and use no additional players, but I still take a good 1/2 hr to get through one match running key highlights. I would switch the game level down but have read that this game produce irregular results and somewhat compromises the realism of the game. Is there any other methods by which I can speed up processing times? I'm not willing to use anything other than a huge database. On second thoughts, could my machine have a virus that would cause FM to run much, much slower than previous versions? Or is it just simply that SI have made this version much more noticeably processor heavy? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 It is more demanding on the computer for sure! If you post your specs you may get some more suggestions as to areas that could be improved! Then we can start looking at other things! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnymalinky Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Ty JGN. Only noticed that thread after I posted this one. I'll copy and paste what I've written into that thread. Pentium 4 1.8 NVDIA Geforce4 MMX440 256 MB RAM 80 Gb Hard Disk I know the spec is my computer is not very good and I'm in serious need of some more RAM. I suppose the obvious answer is to buy a new computer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roykela Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 The obvious answer would be correct. Or upgrade if you can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainPlanet Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Paint go-faster stripes on the PC case. Upgrading RAM is definitely the best first step to take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAssassin1982UK Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 if you go to www.crucial.com, you can run a scan of your computer, that will tell you what your memory upgrade options are and prices. I did this for my laptop and bought 2gb ram for £25.28, made a huge difference. Bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXistenZ Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 256 MB RAM? do you still play Pacman and Zelda I?ok joking but now seriously, if you want to play modern games at an acceptable level, 2GB RAM is required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnymalinky Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yep, I know that my comp needs more RAM but is there anything I can do to speed up the game given its current specs? Thanks Btw, thanks Assassin1982. I'll check it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPlanet Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 You're below the minimum system specs, upgrading is the ONLY option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utdchamp Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Not as bad as my friend playing CM 97/98 on his computer from early 90s. Went to school and when he came back a save was set up, pretty slow... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
