Fm 2011 game stutter

[gamerjarek1991]

Hello all ,

I have a problem with Football manager 2011.
It's a problem that many people have when i search on google , but no one knows an answer.

Everytime when i'm in the middle of a season , my game begins to stutter..
While it never happened before.

I did not changed any settings or did anything with my computer.
It's most of the time in the middle of a season.

It's not my settings because i have a high-end computer and it was working good for like 3 months , and now it stutters when i'm in a 3d match , if i go back to my desktop and then switch back to fm2011 it works for 5-10 seconds and then the stutter begins again.

Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this ?
Thanks !

Happens occasionally to me, my Laptop is pretty powerful too, but even that will suffer if you have loaded multiple databases and 75000 players, is that your case?

I use 1 database with 18000 players.

The game is running jerky but my graphics card should be able to handle this, what can I do?

Or

The game freezes or doesn't seem to run correctly, is there any way to rectify this?

First of all make sure if you’re running from a laptop that it’s plugged in when running FM – if it’s not running from a power supply it may run in energy-saving mode which means less power dedicated to the graphics card.

We’d also suggest making sure you have the least graphics card drivers installed.

What drivers you need and where to download them from depends on your graphics drivers.

Some Computer manufacturers insist you download drivers from their own sites. Please refer to the website of your computer manufacturer before reporting issues with graphics drivers.

To verify your PCs graphics card chipset:

For XP

From the Windows desktop:
- Click Start
- Click Run
- Type DXDIAG in the Open field (dxdiag in capitals)
- Click OK

For Vista/Win 7
- Click Start
- In the search programs and files box, type DXDIAG (dxdiag in capitals)
- Press Enter

This will launch the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. Click on the Display and Sound tabs. The upper left box headed ‘Devices’ shows the make and model of card; the right box headed ‘Drivers’ shows the driver version number.

Here are the websites of the largest graphics cards and chipset manufacturers:

Nvidia (Gforce/Legacy)
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk

ATI (Radeon)
http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

Intel (Onboard Chipsets)
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

There are other manufacturers of graphics card drivers. If you can not find drivers for these cards they may have been discontinued. Please ask in this case as we may still be able to help.

I don't have a laptop ,

And the strange thing is that it didn't happen before , but a lot of times in the middle of the season :S

Any fix for this ?
I also have the latest drivers.
