ryan_sacfc Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi, After a day of trying, I finally got FM 2009 working, thanks to some Microsoft DirectX update. However, it is very slow, and would appreciate some suggestions as to how I can speed it up a bit, especially the match engine, which I am only playing in 2D. At the moment I can only play one game an hour really, and I would be grateful for any help. Thanks very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploppo Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 What are your system specs? How many leagues have you got active - what database size? Also, the game has thousands of files - so defragging possibly helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treble_yell_:-) Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 my brother had this problem, despite not using the 3d , the 3d check box is still ticked in prefs, go to prefs and uncheck it, it should speed up the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KUBI Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Adding additional RAM does also speed up the game - and everything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploppo Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 You can degrag by right clicking your hard-drive - in XP it is Properties - Tools. Steam also has a built in defragger for Steam games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCfan Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I wouldn't recommend increasing the priority of FM, although it would give more processor time to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bell Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 More RAM is the best bet. www.crucial.com/uk to check if you can upgrade and by how much. Run the system checker. Do not increase the priorty of FM in task manager. It will take proessor time from the underlying OS processes and probably make the game slower rather than quicker.

Butters76 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Run the game on a computer, not a typewriter. Inhell core2 duo E8400 with 4GB of DDR3 1600Mhz ram and GF 8800GT. works like a charm with 28 leagues running. And thats just a (high) midrange computer today.

TiltonArmy Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I wouldn't reccomend it either, but you want it then do it, aslong as you are not doing anything else at the time Hi Peter.. If I was to do that set as priority , would it be a case of switching it back to normal settings after you've finished playing the game.. or could it have a detrimental effect once setting has been changed Good win for our boys yesterday Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
