General Advice

[littledragon84]

Hello

I was wanting to gauge advice from fellow players, 2 questions here.

1. Is it worthwhile just now starting a new save or hang off until SI release the newest patch? 

2. My PC has 8GB RAM, would upgrading to machine to 16GB be worthwhile? 

In terms of my saves I like to load a large database and have 8 or 9 playable leagues, but only the top divisions of those leagues. 

My PC is a All in One and it's 6 years old, Windows 10, Intel Core i5-6200 CPU @ 2.30GHz

RAM upgrade have little effect. CPU updates are most effective. But your PC can easily handle 8-9 leagues.

I would recommend waiting for the patch as it may be less than a week away, even though it will fix match engine, these fixes are save-game compatible, but still you can wait a few days to be safe.

I have AMD Ryzen 5 5600H and play with 108 leagues from 25 countries lol. Wait time is still very much acceptable.

1 - nobody knows when the next patch hit. Could be suddenly next week, could be after the january transfer window.... It depends a bit on how eager you are too play. Id just say dont start your main longterm save yet, although any patch released should be savegame compatible.

2 - yes, In gaming these days id say 16GB is a minimum you need for a smooth experience (even though FM is mostly processor heavy). But ram isnt stupidly expensive, you cant do much wrong

Thanks for coming back much appreciated, 108 leagues from 25 countries that's a lot haha. How many players do you have loaded in the game?

Thanks for coming back to me. Yeah I've seen various forums stating that the patch could hit anytime. I am trying remember when last year's came out. I think I am right in saying they released a patch for the touch version this week, maybe I am being optimistic in thinking the patch may drop sooner rather than later.
