redscouse08 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 If that's in reference to me, I am indeed, just ordered it the other day. Not you mate... more at Mikke above you (post 139)... I activated all leagues as playable, large custom database, selecting all continents 'of nation'.. gave me a head count of 352k. I hit the start game button and I get a window up says I've gone beyond a 100k limit and must reduce the head count. It won't let me start a new game otherwise. Save I'm playing now shows a max of 78k players in the search window. I just wondered how Mikke got his 172k head count... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ador87 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 This limit only applies to 32-bit systems - as far as I know, the game would sometimes run out of memory with too many leagues loaded. You can select as many leagues and players as you like if you use a 64-bit system, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to get a new drive as my first one filled up. I want a long term save (abundance of seasons) with as many detailed seasons and players without causing significant speed and crashing problems. How many leagues do you guys think it will run after a few seasons? (I saw somewhere that your game will process slower as the seasons accumulate) To start my save, I have all the lower levels (no editor) in: England, Scotland, USA, Mexico, Wales, Germany, France, Holland, Italy, Brazil and Argentina view only, Australia, Sweden and maybe a few others. Should I remove some leagues? Let me know if I need to give any other information. Please include what is the problem with the specs if it isn't reliable...if it's not to much to ask!

No it's not anywhere near 25 min, but I can see how a longer loading time would put people off. More importantly for my situation is I do think it will get drastically worse as the seasons progress. Because of this thread I've decided to cut my leagues by a big amount. (Although not as much as only have 1 league left.) I think I found a good balance on my PC so thanks to everybody for the help.

Welshace Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 It's a single core 2.2MHz cpu, so barely above the system requirements, also at the bare minimum ram really. You'll probably get 2-3 leagues out of it.. but expect overheating and expect some lagging/stuttering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 There's not really an easy answer to any of these questions, although welshace and others are doing a good job of it. The question is really "Will my computer run this?" In most cases it will apart from the really terribly specced ones. From there, it's quite easy to answer how many leagues you can run - as many as you want. It all depends what you class as tolerable for speed, as welshace has said many times on this thread. For every league, you'll add a processing overhead and x number of players. At some point in adding leagues, it'll get to the point you think is too much. For the most part, the graphics card matters very little unless you want perfect 3D performance in the ME. For that, anything above an integrated graphics card on laptops will probably do, although with enough system RAM for the card to dip into, some integrated solutions will be fine. 4Gb RAM will be OK to run a good number of leagues, but nothing massive. 6 or 8 will give you a boost. Processor is what really matters - if you have an i7 or i5 (or AMD equivalent, whatever that is), go adding leagues like you're on methamphetamines, knock yourself out. Anything lower than that, just be selective. From my experience, FM13 handles longer saves quite well, which is something 12 was terrible for. There isn't a noticeable slowdown between playing in 2043 and playing in 2013 (I'm in 2050 now). I managed most of my save on a pretty rubbish dual core CPU with 4Gb of RAM. Sure it was hotter than Satan's arsehole at times and sometimes went into a self-inflicted coma if it was too hot, but it was speedy with a handful of nations and leagues (probably about 5 nations, ~20 leagues). My newer laptop will probably run whatever I throw at it, but yet to find the sweet spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or this spec Toshiba Satellite; AMD A10-4600m 2.3GHz 1GB Graphics 4GB Ram For the money macs cost, you could get a laptop that would run everything for the foreseeable future. Not getting into a mac vs PC debate, as there's probably a reason you want one, but price wise they just don't stack up. I shudder at playing FM on a 15.6" screen (I've always been a widescreen man) so can't imagine I'd enjoy it much on an even smaller screen than that like on those airs. How much is that Toshiba? You could probably get better than that - I'd up the RAM in particular. Not sure how the processor stacks up against Intels, but should be alright.

FluxerDJ Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 How many leagues/nations do we think a Macbook Air can run? Would it be worth getting the Pro for faster speeds etc? If you were to play FM13 on a MacBook Air, you would practically be maxing out the laptops CPU & Memory just to play it on a very basic league and database setting, (MacBook Air 1.8ghz / 4GB Ram.) It would be best to get a Pro or something with a spec of (2.2GHZ, 8GB Ram and Intel 3000 Graphics) or higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobleZarkon Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 One thing to notice running a lot of Leagues the start and end of transfer windows are very slow (understandably so!), if your game slows at a strange time it may be beacuase of that. Not every League follows the same data pattern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
