MrGol Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I recently started a new save in FM 2021 and am starting to notice that processing is much slower than in previous FMs, including FM 2020. I'm doing a network game, with matchdays set to Saturdays and Wednesdays. Whenever the in-game date hits one of those days, the processing time can run something like 2-3 minutes. I'm using a MacBook Air 2020. Granted, not exactly the most powerful computer out there, but certainly above the minimum system requirements. FM itself rates the performance as 5 stars when creating a new game, since I only have one league active. Somewhat to my surprise I was not able to find any post on this topic. Is there some unique combination of settings causing this, or are there other people experiencing the same issue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanMilly Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 If you're doing a network save, then the processing is going to take longer depending on the specs of the computers used by the other people in the game, the internet speed of the people involved (particularly the person hosting the game), etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGol Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 True, but I played a network game with the same person in FM 2020 and didn't have these issues. I didn't know the network connection influences processing speed though, I always thought the processing took place on the host. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hOvEdSkUd Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Mrgol, We are experiencing the same problem. Have you found any solution? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afailed10 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I'm playing it offline with a reasonable league setup and I'm still in pre-season managing a 4th division team. Takes forever to go through a week of barely any news... I have 16gb ram and an overclocked i5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i5 is a huge range of processors, not all of them particularly good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax_ Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I've found it to be faster than last year, especially saving and loading is now instant for me... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day to day processing is the fastest I've seen in a few years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you found any solution? @hOvEdSkUdUnfortunately no It seems to be a fairly obscure problem that only affects a limited number of people, since most people in this thread seem to be fine. This only happens when the game is processing international fixtures, which is not that often, so it's very annoying when it happens but not game breaking.

XaW Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Just a suggestion. Check your level of detail. If you have set all international matches to play with full detail you are asking the game to go much slower. Reducing those can help out a lot.

maestro31 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I used cheat engine to speed up the processing in previous versions of fm but doesn't work to the same effect in fm21. I wonder why that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used cheat engine to process the game faster since I holiday in between games but doesn't work to the same effect on FM21 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
