    Hi,
    Bought FM2005 recently and was wondering is it normally so slow.
    After a match I normally have to wait an average of 4 minutes while it is "processing".
    Is this the norm? I have a P4 3ghz PC and would have thought I shouldn't have to wait this long.
    What do ye think?

    How many concurrent foreground and background leagues are you running?
    Versus how much RAM do you have?

    I have a fairly similar PC setup and have no problems with loading times. Are you running lots of leagues or a massive database?

    I have the basic options set-up. I just installed and started the game. No extra leagues running in the background.
    I have 512mb installed on my system

    Do you have lots of programs running?

    Yeah, check your processes view for background programs.

    The only background programs I have running would be Norton AV and Zonealarm.
    Other than them I wouldn't have any other programs running.

    But what about background processes? That would be the next tab over from programs/applications.

    e.g im only running my web browser at the moment but in Task Manager's processes i have LOTS of other background processes (besides the antivirus and firewall) running.

    Maybe you have one thats eating up lots of memory.

    Or maybe you're running to many foreground leagues? :confused:

    You might be set on a Huge Database, that can slow down the game incredibly.

    Well my PC with an AMD 64 2.2ghz and 1024 mb of RAM still processes FM2005 like a 90yr old granny. There's no bg processes hogging memory, I switch off ZoneAlarm/AVG anti virus when I play and I'm completely SpyWare free (also, I'm only using a medium sized database). I think the game is a lot slower than its previous incarnations (play CM 01-02 and do a season in three hours as opposed to FM2005 and do a season in more like a day) and there's no real reason for it bar lazy process programming on the part of Sports Interactive, for example, the game still uses 99% processing time when idle (i.e. when you're sorting your team/doing general managerial stuff - non processing time), they tried to fix this with the 5.0.5 patch but it's still a long way off from being perfect.
