Very slow 3d Match Engine! Help!
Hello,

I am very new to the forum so apologies if this is in the wrong section!

When I try and run a match the 3d match engine is very gittery, never had this before on any of the FM series only on FM15, running a windows PC on a Sony Vaio Laptop. Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers

yup. and what's your laptop's model? which gpu does it have?

also shut down every application before running the game. antivirus programs, music apps etc.

I think your answer is as simple as your GPU on your laptop is not good enough for FM15

Whats your processor and how much RAM do you have?

Pentium Dual Core 2.10ghz and 3gb Ram.

hmmmmmmmm....

I would take a stab in the dark and say your laptop is very dated now. Crazy isnt it, to think you need more powerful hardware to run a game like football manager.

This may help - how many nations are you running in your game? Try and keep it bare minimum so its not running alot of data...

Obviously you have the settings to low right? Other than that im not sure what you can do tbh

here's your answer james =/.

still you should be able to run the match with 2d view but definitely not 3d.

any ways of solving this without buying a new laptop or suggestions on a cheapish one that FM will run on?! Cheers for your help!

the last things i can think of again is the obvious ones

- Reduce your leagues further (only keep your one and maybe 1 more MAX)
- Your resolution is also low? 800 x 600?

If not, your only way to get it running is a new laptop imo.

Whats your budget for a 'cheapest' laptop?

I think a new laptop might be the answer... any suggestions on what to get thats half decent without being stupidly priced?

The only other option is i have an old sony vaio which FM15 ran fine on but the laptop broke, can i take the graphics card out of that and put it in my current laptop? Im a novice so would it be that simple?

nope. maybe tech support could do that but it will cost you a lot (as much as a new computer). laptops have physically integrated graphics cards you can't take it out like desktops.
