jim owen Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Hi, Updated the game to the latest update today (at the same time as windows 10 did an update) . Ever since then i cant play football manager as the screen is constantly flickering. Doesn't happen outside of the game or in any other game, Looked and it seems others have had the same issue with older versions of the game, but i can't see how they resolved it Yes my graphics card is up to date Should note doesn't start flickering till i get to the home screen, adverts at the start run fine Thanks for your help Edited March 5, 2019 by jim owen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffascruffowitz Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Had a similar thing a few weeks ago. I forget where, but somewhere in here there is a setting that fixed it. Somewhere in these links: 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrazT Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 That is a fairly old card and is, I am sure, below minimum spec for the game. You can probably still get it running but may need some trial and error for best results. First of all make sure that you get the latest card driver from the NVidia website. Ensure that the NVidia card is set as default for the game and then reduce the graphics quality to low. If there is still no improvement, roll the driver back to the previous version as that can sometimes help with older cards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was working perfectly before on high , it had a 5 star rating on the game, how can it be below minimum spec? I'm attaching you the screenshot.

I've got a 760 and it runs on high/very high for me so I don't think the cards age is a factor Edited July 9, 2021 by Brother Ben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm attaching you the screenshot. I don't decide what the minimum recommended spec for the game is- SI configure the game to work with a range of cards but they decide what will be the best level of card to get the most out of the graphics- nobody is saying that it wont work with a lower spec card and others may well have success with it, but you might have to play around with the graphics detail depending on what else is using the card.

phd_angel Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Though I play on an Alienware laptop (i7, Nvidia GTX 1070), my FM21 match engine still shakes and lags frequently. Believe it or not, if I open my Chrome and leave it running in the background, it sometimes fixes my problem. Bizarre... Would someone know why?

cianw Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Hi I play on a fresh new computer and my screen flickers on when in the match any ideas on what this is? All the specs have the right specs for the game. I've tried lowering the graphics, deleting mods etc and nothing works! If anyone has anything to help me with this issue please let me know. Thanks in advance :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cianw Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Also I saw a comment above and it said they left chrome open and it fixed the issue, and I just tried that method and it worked so would anyone know why this would prevent my issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etebaer Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Could be the GPU is about to giving up its existence and alerts you to be prepared? Does it get to hot? At that age the cooler tends to be very dirty and the paste is old and probably drycracked. Try maybe lower the game FPS by a/the Limiter or via MSI Afterburner or something lower the freqs of your GPU if it gets better... Also reinsert the GPU into its Slot and reinsert all cables! Maybe something is a little coroded... Edited December 30, 2022 by Etebaer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
