It be hard to create a step by step guide using a wireless router, there must be 100+ different routers on the market each with there own setup.

If you can find your exact router using the port forward website try and look for a similar model and use the guide for that.

Hi, my friend and I started a new network game (both using 8.0.1 beta) in FM 2008. For me, the host, gamespeed is perfect, for my friend who logs in to my server gamespeed is very slow (loading player profiles takes about 55 seconds each time!). Before we played FM 2006 and we didn't have any problems. We have no problems connecting and/or other issues, only the "speed" issue. Can anybody tell me how to solve this? Thanks </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I have the same problem. Its alright when you play over LAN but over the net it goes slow for the person/s connecting to the server.

My hardware and Internet speed (13mb) are more then enough for this game.

If you read the opening post of this topic there is a dedicated website for wireless routers. You pick your router for the list and then follow the guide for Football Manager and once you have done that you are good to go.

It could not be much simpler than that. icon14.gif

Just look at the FAQ thread, tells you exactly what you need to do?

Now time to give something back to yourself after your nice post about your forum.

If you do not know how to setup your own network at home, you should have thought about it before buying the equipment that you have, ie. Wireless router.

Although modern technology is a fine thing, it appears that you did not read the opening post in this thread, which just makes the points clear made by regulars and mods of the forums in your Thread, that quite clearly, people just want want want and spam spam spam the forum.

If you are having problems with your home network then you are better off visiting the manufacturer website of the equipment that YOU have purchased, this is entirely your own responsibility if its not working the way that you want it to do.

So please, in future, read the information that people of the forum have given, they spend their own free time helping people and none of us have to help but we do as its the game we love, so some kind of appreciation would be welcomed for the hard efforts that people have gone to.

Just a little bit of reading can go a long way, if you dont understand something, then say what it is instead of just asking for a full complete step by step guide. As that, just tells us you cannot be bothered and then, we can not be bothered to help you either.

It says that everyone needs to have the same database - does that mean you have to have the weegie update to play if the host uses it, or do you just have to have the same version? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

It best that you all run then same database as well as the same patch. Using a different database to host brings a problem with the matches i.e. you watch your game and win, come to the news and your found out your actually lost 3-1.

So in short if your using a different database than the host your will be able to connect but I would recommend you all use the same

Firstly congratulations on finding the help thread.

Secondsly stop the stipid text chat, its mate, not m8. and are, not r etc etc.

Thirdly, have a look at the FAQ and it will show you the staps to make and have others connect or connect to a game. And if that doesnt work then post in this thread in the way shown on page 1.

Simple really...

YOu could use hamachi.

First download it then have a quick read of the setup guide.

Once installed input the Hamachi Ip's (yours/your friends) into you firewall. Configure router with hamachi if you need to.

One "host as server" the other "joins" game using the hamachi ip.

Morning all...

Bit of a newcomer to online play, and have a couple of basic questions if someone would be kind enough to help.

Q1 - I'm going to create an online game from me and my bro, and was wandering. He hasn't downloaded any graphics for his game, and looks like a poor relation of mine. If I am the host, and he signs into my game, would he then see my graphics? Or will he have to download them himself?

Q2 - I understand how to create the game (i.e - untick the "move matches for tv" option). However, will I be able to create a seperate, non-online game where I can keep this option? Are the preferences definable by each individual game, or will that be the default for every game on my computer once they are set?

Thanks all for any help.

Gaz.

1. He won't see your graphics he would have to download them himself.

2. Yes you can create a seperate game where you can untick move matches for tv. The preferences can be adjusted from game to game.

Before you left the game did yous et your holiday options? If not get the host to regain host of your time, set your holiday options and then quit. Then you can rejoin the game.

Please do not post in text speak either, it's irritating for most users on this board and we have users whom english is not their first language so please post in the proper english in future.

OS: Windows XP

Fast Connection / Virgin Media

No Router, No AntiV and No Firewall.

I am hosting. Mate has same version, same database, move matches declicked. We've done everything we can think of or find in this forum.

Problem: when he connects he shows up as new client on my (host) PC, but his PC just freezes and doesn't seem to connect.

Please help, this is incredibly frustrating.

You have posted at 6.40pm today and you expect an instant reply? People have lives, families etc, we help out where we can, posting in our own free time as we love this game.

I think you should be a little more patient and someone may help you if they know what the problem could be.
