ScottyRFC9 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Sorry if this is the way to do it on here as i am new so apologies in advance if shouldnt post it here! I installed the game without any hitches. I then went to start it and it said "failed to load graphics system" Now i looked at threads and i downloaded direct X and then updated graphics which i did with some help by looking on here. Now i clicked to play it and the SI titles were coming up and i was getting excited.. "nearly there" i thought!! Now it says " Football Manager is running low on memory. Free up space But i have over 23g space. I dont know computers that in depth but surely that should be ok? What else can i do? Help appreciated guys:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help appreciated guys:) 23gb that sounds more like 23gb hard drive space, how much RAM do you have, this could very well be the crux of the problem, and what graphics card do you have?

ScottyRFC9 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 First of all thanks for the reply appreciate it! Yes you are right i suppose that makes no difference? 1.66ghz and 224mb of Ram I think thats obviously low so can i upgrade it online in any way? Graphics is NVIDIA GeForce 2 Integrated GPU i dont know if thats what you are looking for? Im just so confused! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need at least 512mb of RAM to play and probably a new graphics card as well. It will run painfully slow, so be aware of that, the processor is very old. For the price of upgrading it, I'd consider getting a new PC tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need more RAM for a start, im running on 256, and it is incredibly slow. wi You will need to buy RAM from a shop, not too expensive, you can get a 2GB for pennies nowadays.

ScottyRFC9 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Well luckily this isn't mine i am just trying to get it to work here! I will check my laptop when i get in and thats the last resort. So if my laptop doesnt have those requirements its impossible? It should its only a couple years old hopefully that works:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevicus Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Really? Is it not that expensive? I am not really up on it all so dont have a clue! Maybe about 20 quid, installing it is different, as i assume you dont know how, unless you can get someone to sort out your PC, you should buy a new one. And your laptop should run it fine assuming its a couple of years old. Mine is 6 years old and only just scrapes the minimum specs, however, the performance levels make it hard for me to get into the game. But it can run it at least.

feedthegoat Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Thanks! be prepared for a PM if it doesn't! Cheers mate I'll just warn you I've had to ask for PC advice over in OTF, so I'm not that tech savvy. I'd say if you get anymore problems PC tech wise, start a thread over in OTF, there's a few people over there who are very helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check my Laptop when i get home and have a look. I did come across the dreaded Graphics system message on that aswell when initially installing so maybe wont work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i tried that but think there was a problem. I will re-install it again! I think i am destined never to play it lol! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
feedthegoat Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Like I say I'm sure there's a sticky at the top of this forum that will help you iron out any problems and help you get the game running, that is unless of course said sticky has been removed. EDIT:- It hasn't. Where it says in red 'USERS WITH TECHNICAL ISSUES PLEASE READ THIS TOPIC FIRST' click that and start from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
