My game is unbearably slow, I've turned the graphics to slow and the rendering to software and still so slow, things like the lineups before a game take forever to load up. Never had any problems with the old fm's and it's not a bad computer, anyone else have these problems or know of fix because I'm so close to just forgetting about this game and going back to 13 because its that annoying :mad:
 
I have same problem takes ages to start match then after match before can do anything and I got new laptop so no it's not slow
 
What's your PC/laptop spec and how many leagues are you running?
 
I'm only running two leagues from England
min not sure what my spec is, I'm not clued up on computers really but it's only a year old and I've never had any problems with other fm's or anything else for that matter
ive even done a factory restore to get rid of all the **** on my computer but not really much better
does your signal strength affect your game speed because I'm wireless and the pc is quite far away from hub and doesn't have the best signal but didn't think this affected it as you can even play in offline mode?

Signal strength is not relevant, unless you're playing multiplayer which (as far as I've noticed) is not available yet.
The problem is undoubtedly your computer specs. There may be some minor optimalization issues that will be ironed out before full release, but I wouldn't expect anything noticeable in that regard.

Right click on My Computer, select Properties, and tell us what kind of Processor you have and how much RAM.
 
I think it is a glitch/bug i always have to wait a long time for the match to get started.

Thanks a lot for you help, I really appreciate it :)
Hewlett Packard, processor is pentium dual core E520, ram is 3.00 gb, 32 bit operating system
thats the spec, is it ok for this?
ive never had any problems with fm 11, 12 or 13
 
Sounds ok to me, I'm no expert tho, mines a cheapy 300 laptop. I3, 8GB Ram, maybe ur ram is the problem?? Anyone???

My old laptop was AmD and 2 GB of ram it was pretty slow, not too bad but there was a slight lag between clicking and the next screen appearing, I did have the mega face pack and logo pack so that slowed it a bit I think.

I'm running every league in England and Spain, Italy, Germany and France as view only and I haven't notice any issues with the speed.

The E5200 is above recommended specs. The amount of RAM recommended is 4GB, with 1GB as minimum. In other words, 3GB should give you a decent game pace, but not optimal I'm afraid.

The requirements haven't changed much from FM13, so in theory you should be able to run it at similar capacity.

Try setting Processing (Preferences -> Match) to Fastest and see if that helps any. I haven't seen any complaints about loading speeds on the SI forums.

You could also try setting it to Window Mode and open up task manager to see what your CPU Usage Percentage is on when the problems occur, just to see whether it's related to that.
 
How do you get more ram? I'm really useless with computers :s
 
fm 14 is certainly a lot slower than previous versions. :S
 
To get more RAM you need to actually buy it, its not cheap sometimes either depending on the type of RAM you need since there is like DDR2 or DDR3 but thats comes down to your motherboard. And all that is jibberish to you most likely if you're useless with computers, so if you have money to invest in your computer then i'd take it to a specialist.

A little tip to get to the matches quicker is to go into the preferences go to the match tab at the top right and under the "Processing" section tick the box that says skip match preview in build-up to match which will skip all the screens besides the lineup and team talk screen.

Thanks a lot mate
i'm going to wait till it comes out on disk and see if its any different and if not take my computer in for a few upgrades
 
Im the opposite? FM14 is running alot faster and smoother than 13? how is this even possible? lol
 
Im having trouble running it on windowed mode as well, from time to time it starts getting reaaal slow, but it happens when i got chrome opened.

Plus, im running BF4 on high (Some things ultra) so im 100% sure its not my computer haha
