Oli987 · 19-03-08, 08:52 PM

I have the same problem. The retain player option simply isn't there to tick. Does this work with the new patch?

fozzafulham · 19-03-08, 08:54 PM

your probally putting it in the wrong place works fine for me see the link below

FMFormation.net - Football Manager - FM2008 - Downloads - Retain All Players

Oli987 · 19-03-08, 09:05 PM

No I copied the link exactly, only replacing 801 with 802. Tried both copying and pasting into notepad and downloading. Both times the option isn't there to tick. Do I need to change the file from .rar on the downloaded version?

fozzafulham · 19-03-08, 09:12 PM

yea you need to extrat the it using winrar or something simliar to that path

prowler86 · 30-03-08, 05:19 PM

I have start new game and retain all players. Ohhh...my poor computer. ((((
I have 1 GB ram. Thinking about another 1 GB, but tell me...Is 2 GB enough?
(ddr 400 mhz, 2-3-2-5)

fozzafulham · 30-03-08, 05:36 PM

should be ive got 2gb and runs okay think a lot will depend on your processor as well and other things like how man leagues you have running etc.

prowler86 · 30-03-08, 07:07 PM

processor: Sempron 3000+. In future planning to change to Athlon 64 3400+ with 1024 L2 cache. About leagues: I have started with 14 leagues....
am I crazy?=))
