Default Speed Up FM2008

Hi!

I'm playing with a medium database and my computer is a P2 2,4 ghz with 2gigs of RAM. The game is going insanely slow and it's driving me nuts. PLEASE!!! could someone tell me how to speed up the game?

Thanks in advance

windowed mode works fine but what about some graphic settings or other settings? or maybe a program that speeds the game up

all programs which speed up the game actually make it worse when u get to use it, so its not worth it if u use a program which speeds up FM

Hey canito, sorry for thread-stealing. But I have a problem when trying to go to windowed mode. When I clicked on confirm, the screen goes black and an error message pops up that says "Please make sure your system supports this configuration." anyone can resolve this?

I'm on 735MB RAM with 38GB Hard Drive and It's exactly the same as yours - even in windowed mode!

I'm getting my PC reformatted soon (hopefully next weekend) so I'll see how it is then.



FM08 Trophies:
Season 1 (Barça): UEFA Champions League
Season 2 (Barça, Current): UEFA Super Cup, World Club Championship, Spanish Cup, La Liga & Champions League

Everytime I play Fm2008 it uses almost about 500 MB in memory. Is this normal?

hey i would say thats normal well in my case it is
well my specs are lower then yours by only a bit on my laptop and mine plays fine and i have huge db on with few all players from countries and pretty much about 10 leagues running and mine runs fine at times when its doin all the results it can slow down a bit but not at all when im actualy playing

i can also say msn messenger can slow is down considerably as messenger seems to be a very demanding program for pretty much nothing lol so closing it can help speed up ive noticed

i could also recomend on the processes making fm.exe a higher priority program but this can affect your system so if u do its at your own cost but ive done it a few times when there was alot of fixtures it needed to do results for and it didnt affect my system while it did make fm run faster but aslong as u make sure to put it back to normal priority after otherwise it can start to affect important processes


thanks to Josh for makin this awesome sig!

Modisses, next time, please start a new thread if you're having troubles with something. As for your question, have you tried to force it to play in Windowed Mode? Please check out this guide
