Hi all,
I have a problem running Football Manager 2007.
The game's match mode consists of an almost full-screen, almost-2D animation of the match. 10-15mins into the game this animation slows down to the point of making the game unplayable.
The specs of my machine are above the requirements by a factor of 3-5 and so far I have been unable to identify any hardware bottlenecks. The only thing that does help is to suspend the animation for a while by bringing out another game window (e.g. tactics) and then returning. The improvement, if any, lasts for 10 min tops.
I'm using wine 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 8.10.
Thanks in advance,
vHF

Football Manager 2007 running very slowly
Does the problem happen with the free demo at
http://www.gamershell.com/download_15877.shtml ?
If so, can you give a simple recipe to reproduce? Ideally
it would involve as few mouse clicks as possible.
This might be a memory leak or something...

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm going to check the demo, but it'll take time -- I have to download it first. I should be able to give you an answer in an hour.
Meanwhile, there is indirect evidence that the problem is linked to a lack of computing resources: the 'slideshow effect' can be triggered by running a rather lightweight application in the background (mp3 player); also, in its most severe stadium it slows down the whole system.

Hi there,
The problem is present in the demo as well.
1. Install & run the demo
2. choose "Load quickstart" from the main menu
3. Pick any country, create a manager profile and pick any team.
4. After the game sets up, click Manager->[Your Team], from the tree menu on the left hand side expand the first node and click "Fixtures". Make note of the date of your next match.
5. Click Manager->go on holiday. After you confirm, the game will run on its own. Wait as the time elapses till the date of your match.
6. Pick your team (in the bottom-left corner, Ask to Pick->[Coach name])
7. Click "Go to match" on the top pane
8. Again, in the bottom right corner, click Highligh Mode->Full Match
9. Click "Play", select "Pitch" from the left hand side menu to display the animation and wait. It takes ~20 min for the glitches to appear on my computer, albeit it is still playable after 35.
