    I can't see a similar thread for FM20 so, apologies for the necro.

    I was wondering about the ability of FM20 to utilise all cores on a CPU. I tend to run most leagues with about 130,000 players. Does anyone know if the game will make good use of all cores when processing matches in the background?

    nope, it is about the same as FM19 in this regard

    Sorry should of elaborated. Ideally built one, been looking on PC Specialist as I don’t have a computer shop near me. Possibly GTA 

    Their prices look really inflated.
    I'm not from the UK so the only store I know is Alza. This PC looks good: https://www.alza.co.uk/alza-gamebox-ryzen-5700-d5699275.htm   819  punds
    Honestly it is even overkill for both FM and GTA V, you will be able to play even the newest games on high quality on this.
    I recommend this monitor: https://www.alza.co.uk/24-lg-24mk600m-d5472613.htm?o=1  125 punds
    From the rest of the money you can buy speakers, keyboard and mouse. For mouse and keyboard you should go to an electronics store and touch a few to see what is comfortable for you.

    So after the new patch the game is lagging quite a bit, especially in game when setting opposition instructions etc. 

    also whenever we make a tactical change or a shout or something suddenly the volume gets cut out for a split second before starting again. 

    None of this was happening earlier. Is anyone else experiencing it? Anything can be done? 

    Not a game breaker obviously but just a bit annoying 

    I don't experience lagging but i have that annoying sound issue too, it has been reported:

    I am noticing sound issues though. I've bugged them, but wanted to mention it here because I do wonder if it is my end and maybe someone might say something that leads me to why it happens, or I'll see someone say they've noticed it and I can rule out it being at my end.

    Whenever I make tactical changes, substitutions or shouts the game sound will disrupt whenever the change takes place. It's almost as if the match sound file resets, as if it's a song being reset to the start.

    The only reason I suggest it might be my end is because in some games I play I do notice sound disturbances. I've wondered if it were my speakers. I've updated drivers, so I'll see if that fixes anything.


    I have the same sound issues too since the update, i thought it's just me :) glad there is at least two of us

    Computer Type: PC

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X @ Stock

    GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT @ Stock

    wow, you are the 3rd ryzen 9 3900x owner in the thread and yours is the fastest by far (previous 3900x benchmark C times 7:48 and 6:03) Can you do Benchmark A and B too?

    Thanks for this, exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of :applause:

    I'd been thinking 3rd gen Ryzen 3, a X570 motherboard and using on board Vega graphics. But coming to conclusion B450 will do in terms of motherboard, and might be better paying the bit more for Ryzen 5

    But still feels like I can get some similar levels of performance from laptops at a similar price

    I did some thinking and research and came up with 2 more config, one middle performance and one entry level. (but that should run FM well too) :D

    First we get a cheaper monitor, a 22" LG 22MK430H-B is just around £85, IPS panel, Flicker Free, Freesync monitor. 

    1st build:
    - Motherboard: MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX   £70
    - CPU: Ryzen 5 3400G   £125
    - CPU cooler:  free :)
    - Memory: 2x8GB DDR4 3000-3200MHz, (16GB total) brand doesn't matter.    60 £
    - Storage: Western Digital Blue 500 GB M.2-2280 SSD     (or Kingston A2000 M.2 500GB or Crucial MX500 M.2 500GB)  for  56£   or cheaper around 45 punds Patriot Burst 480GB, WD blue 500GB, Crucial MX500
    - Video card: integrated
    - Case: Something around £30 like aerocool aero-300, silentiumpc signum sg1, zalman s2 (but I prefer the Fractal Design Focus G for 48 )

    - Power supply: for 35-40 and around 500 watt: Be quiet system power 9 500w, cooler master mwe bronze v2 500w, fsp hexa 85+ 500w, evga 500br, corsair vs550 (they are listen in order of quality)

    So with the monitor it comes out to about 450 pounds. What good is about this build that you can easily upgrade it later by addig a graphics card.

     

    2nd build:
    - Motherboard: ASRock B450M-HDV    53£   (or any other B450 motherboard will do, asrock, asus, msi doesn't matter) but make sure it has HDMI output!
    - CPU: Ryzen 3 2200G 75£  (yes it is the second gen ryzen, but it has almost the same performance as the 3rd gen but it is cheaper! and will run FM just as good and will easily handle 5+ leagues)
    - CPU cooler:  free :)
    - Memory: 2x4GB DDR4 3000-3200MHz (8GB total) brand doesn't matter. 40£ (make sure it is 2 stick, don't buy 1pcs 8GB stick because it will slow down the pc)
    - Storage: Western Digital Blue 500 GB M.2-2280 SSD    (or Kingston A2000 M.2 500GB or Crucial MX500 M.2 500GB)  for  56£  or cheaper around 45 punds Patriot Burst 480GB, WD blue 500GB, Crucial MX500
    - Video card: integrated
    - Case: the cheapest you can find, around 15-20£
    - Power supply: Same brands as above but you don't need 500W, even the smallest 300-350w will be an overkill :) around 30-35 £

    With the monitor it is about 340-350.
    if you only play FM I would probably go with this cheaper second PC. Hell you can even make it around £300 if you get a smaller 250GB SSD (about £20 cheaper) and somehow get a free pc case (maybe from friend or buy a used case for £2 :D )
    Personally I like the big monitors i could never play on a small 14-15" laptop screen
    This PC will be faster than similarly priced laptops. Those usually have only 2 core/4 thread CPUs, and don't have SSD. Some in this price range don't even have 8GB ram but only 4GB. But I admit in this lower price range laptops are closer in performance than in the 650-700 pound range

    Uhhm no you won't get nowhere near this performance from a laptop for £650! For example just the the video card is several times better compared to a laptop! (for £650 laptop you get like an MX250 or GT 1050 tops)
    Every other component is just a lot better!
    And this PC is easy to upgrade, you will only have to buy a new graphic card, because the rest of the components will still be good in 2-3 years. (and maybe a hard drive because 500GB storage won't last long :) )
    And this price includes a 24" monitor, compared to a 17" laptop that's huge :)

    If you want a 3rd gen ryzen with vega graphic then you don't need an X570 motherboard, those are waaay too expensive. Buy an MSI B450 MAX board, those are compatible out of the box with the new ryzen processor, a £70 B450M PRO-VDH MAX will do just fine (make sure it has MAX in the name because the regular B450 boards are NOT compatible with 3rd gen ryzen)

    Hi

    I've had a read through of the thread, and have picked up some points and info, I would like some guidance, clarifications if kind enough

     

    I went over the 600 limit a little bit (about 50 more) but i think it is worth it.

    First the monitors. These are in the 115-135 price range, all 24", IPS panel, Flicker Free, Freesync monitors!!! Choose whichever you want.
    - AOC 24V2Q
    - Philips 246E9QJAB/00
    - LG 24MK600M-B

    Now for the Desktop:
    Motherboard: ASRock B450M-HDV    53£   (or any other B450 motherboard will do, asrock, asus, msi doesn't matter)
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600      110£
    CPU cooler: comes with the cpu so freeee :)
    Memory: 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz, (16GB total) brand doesn't matter.    60 £
    Storage: Western Digital Blue 500 GB M.2-2280 SSD   56£    (or Kingston A2000 M.2 500GB or Crucial MX500 M.2 500GB)
    Video card: Asus Radeon RX580 4GB       135£ (or whatever other brand of RX580 the store has (I personally prefer Sapphire and Powercolor), but don't pay more than £150 for it because from £170 there are RX590 cards)
    Case: Fractal Design Focus G ATX Mid Tower Case   48£
    Power Supply: BitFenix Formula Gold 550 W 80+ Gold   67£

    So about £529 for the desktop, with the monitor it's about £650 total (prices could change a little depending on the store of course!) But the video cards come with a free game and an xbox pass :)

    Hi

    I've had a read through of the thread, and have picked up some points and info, I would like some guidance, clarifications if kind enough

    I used to play FM back in the day and am looking at getting back into it, a heavy user, priority would be given to minimising waiting time over visuals, processing power over graphics, 5 leagues+, more players, data. Stopped playing when it moved to steam, so wondering if bottlenecks are relatively similar, if internet connection plays a larger part, if poor visuals drag performance etc, happy to sacrifice and compromise for efficient performance, would appreciate extra capacity in hand

    But am surprised by laptop cost, while entry price for a gaming desktop seems relatively high. I'm comparing apples with oranges, I'm looking at better spec desktops, but it feels like a chasm of performance and cost that I might be better served crossing at a later date with a different purchase

    I've been waiting for run up to black friday, and value is probably my most important metric, started around £300 mark but can extend to £600 if merited. I've probably been looking at 300 and 450 mark on laptops and could upgrade RAM. But I'm starting to look at desktops and still feel confused about cooling, recent changes in terms of graphics, SSDs and where upgrades and development are most relevant etc

    Been looking at ebuyer desktops at around £200 price and have seen some on amazon, but once I add in cost of monitor, I'm near a similar price to laptop. I don't mind getting an Windows OS if need to and price makes sense, but I don't want to have to buy several components to get it to function effectively. I'm thinking I could get an external GPU if I wanted to upgrade

    I'm ideally trying to find an out the box desktop and monitor package that tempts me away from some of the laptop options, extra power, 4k gaming or viewing, ability to upgrade, great value

    If you want to game in 4k you are going to need a few thousand pounds! (just 1 thousand for a video card that can handle 4k)
    Don't worry about the Windows OS, you can buy used windows key on ebay for like 5-10 pounds. They are totally legal, refurbished keys.
    I wouldn't buy a prebuilt desktop. They aren't worth it usually. If you want I can make a PC part list for you and you can ask a computer store to build you a pc from those parts.
    So max budget is 600 pounds and you need a monitor too, right?

    yes on a mac. usually it is created within "Documents" folder. Has it changed?

    yes, it is changed.

    This year's FM puts the folders in a different locations on MAC. This is for MAC Catalina

    Now the files will instead appear in the following location:

    Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive

    By default this folder is hidden, so to access you need to do as follows:

    Open Finder
    Click ‘Go’ from the menubar
    Press and hold down the ‘Option’ (Alt) key
    This will bring up the ‘Library’, click to enter then go to ‘Application Support’ -> ‘Sports Interactive’ -> ‘Football Manager 2020’

    So if your graphic packs are not showing in FM20, make sure you move them to the proper folder:

    Application Support -> Sports Interactive -> Football Manager 2020 > graphics

    What would be the best place to point out a flaw in the playing schedule setup for clubs in the Belgian second division? I just looked at my schedule playing as OHL and it seems that were playing every 4-5 days with quite a few midweek games. In reality, this doesn't happen, ever. We play weekly, with 1 game on Friday evening 20h30, one on saturday at 17h00, one on Saturday at 20h30 and one on Sunday at 16h00. From what I can see, it seems to be because of international breaks but in real life, the league goes on during those breaks (unfortunately because I am an OHL sup in real life and we tend to miss a few players every time). 

    this is the thread for it:

  13. I think this would be a great QOL feature, especially for players who play long saves and/or with a lot of leagues loaded.
    Currently the game only uses 1 or 2 thread most of the time when processing between 2 matches. The more years pass in FM the longer that time becomes.
    I think the FM19 benchmark thread (link here) show this problem quite well!!! In benchmark A and B (these are with the settings that the overwhelming majority of palyers use) an overclocked 4 thread CPU easily beats @EdL 's 16 thread CPU!!!

    I know this is not as fancy thing as the Development Centre but this would really improve the playing experience for everyone! 

  14. I ran the test too, expected better results :(

    Computer Type: Desktop
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 @3.8 GHz OC
    GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX580 Nitro+ 4GB
    RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz CL16
    OS: Windows 10 64bit 1903
    Storage: 512GB NVME SSD

    Benchmark A: 1st run: 3 min 13 sec               2nd run: 3 min 19 sec
    Benchmark B: 1st run: 6 min 04 sec               2nd run: 6 min 22 sec
    Benchmark C: 1st run: 8 min 51 sec               2nd run: 8 min 55 sec

    Instead of spending lots of money constantly upgrading your PC why not just get FM on Stadia?!

    Maybe Stadia is unavailable in his country and there is no guarantee that stadia will be faster than a desktop pc/laptop, and you can't even use facepacks/logos etc. with stadia.
