WingZeroMkII Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I've just installed Win7 64-bit, and found that the game is now running very slowly, especially during 3d matches. I have a dual screen setup, and usually play FM in a windowed mode on one screen and have something else opened on another. Running like this is pretty much impossible with Win7, so I tried playing full screen, which is a bit better, but still quite slow. I had no problem with that same setup on WinXP 32-bit. Has anyone tried this and have any fixes? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingZeroMkII Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Yes, all my drivers are current. I got the 64-bit version of my graphics card (Nvidia 8800 GTS) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tottenhamfmo7 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Just don't use 3D, 2D is surprisingly good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetsky Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 i had to swtich from my win 7 x64bit back to xp i just couldnt run the game it kept crashing the graphics had black lines through it and was extremely frustrating!!! esp as i have just bought a new intel i5 build i have a feeling it was something to with the graphics card i have (geforce 9800gt) think theres some compatabilty issues with 7 itself! but overall Windows 7 that was installed on my new pc was very shoddy and unstable - even the internet kept crashing!!I dont think 7 is ready yet personally! tempted to reinstall 7 just to check that the people who made the pc installed things correcty but not impressed with it!

Tez01979 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I find that if I have firefox running in the background the 3d match runs slower. Seems like the game has memory leak issues cos i've never had a problem with running FM until this version. The fact your running duel screen seems to bolster this theory To Velvetsky Nothing wrong with Win 7 apart from some compatibility issues with older cards - i certainly don't have any stability isssues and i have an older machine, if anything it runs better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetsky Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 ru running the 64bit version? maybe its the installation then - but things dont run as smooth as they should.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
truegooner Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 ru running the 64bit version?maybe its the installation then - but things dont run as smooth as they should.... I am running Windows 7 64-bit and I have no issues with the 3D match engine in FM 2010. My GPU is an Nvidia 9800 GT. I bought my copy of Windows 7 off Amazon and it is the Home Premium Edition. I did a clean installation on my system which previously was running Vista 32-bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriffpatgarrett Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I´ve got some problems as well, but with FM09. The 2d match engine can be jumpy sometimes since I installed WIN7 (64-bit). Running FM09 on Vista was fine. Have bought FM10 but not done any testing yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tez01979 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Yes I'm running the 64 bit version - i have a rubbish radeon 1650 and only 2 GB of ram with a duel core 2 GHz Athlon chip and like i said no problems whatsoever apart from the game running slow with firefox running in the background. Defo the game at fault not Win 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingZeroMkII Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Well, other than this game, Win 7 has been great so far for me. Perhaps it is a memory issue, I'm not sure. I hope this is addressed in the next patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted75 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm having no problems at all with Win7 64-bit, game (and everything else I've tried to do) runs like a charm. I have 8GB RAM and 1GB GTS 250. I've had it running in both full-screen (1920x1080) and windowed mode - haven't tried running dual screen yet though.

I hope this is addressed in the next patch. Yes, it seems to take loads of memory while playing, using up a lot of CPU. Having firefox running as well seems to affect it a lot, running other programs as well as FM was never a problem until FM 2010. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
