Football Manager 2012 Tutorial: How to install the FM12 Data Editor. Created By: Golden FM; Date Created.

Hey A month back posted a tip from the SIGames forum about how to make FM run faster. This gave me the idea to merge all the little tips and tricks I've found over time into one post. Employing these allows me to: * Play a game and exit it * Browse reddit for a minute * The game has processed and is ready for the next game to be played I posted it to Twitter and got a great reaction so thought you guys might like it as well. For betting formating, screenshots etc. Change rendering mode This is the simple most important step for speeding up FM and will make your game run much faster. What it does, is that it will make the screen load faster every time you click on something. It does so by disabling some animations, but there really is no difference in how the game looks.

The way to get the game to run faster is the following: • Go to preferences and then the interface tab • In rendering mode, it should read “GPU assisted” • Change this to “software” • Click confirm and you are ready to enjoy the game even more • This is really easy to do and it makes the game much more enjoyable on low-end computers The tip is so good I really think it should have been the default setting and it puzzles me why it isn’t anyway, on to the next tip! Change detail level One of the things FM spends the most time on is simulating all the games in which you do not play. While you cannot speed up the simulation time of a game, you can decrease the amount of games that are simulated. To do so you have to: • Click the FM icon • Click detail level • This will take you to the detail level Here you can change “set international competition level' and 'set club competition details levels to'. I recommend changing these from default to minimum.

Decrease number of leagues / use smaller database One of the easiest ways to increase the speed of the game is to reduce the number of leagues or use a smaller database. This is naturally something you select when you start the game. Windows office 2007 torrent tpb. To ensure the game runs smooth you want to aim for +4 star in estimated game speed. My recommendation on a slow computer is to load the league you want to play in, and if you want to go good old journeyman on your FM game later, you can always add the league you want to play in. Bonus: This will also have a gameplay effect. Computer players will have a harder time finding players so it actually makes it a little easier to sell players.

Switch off 3d graphics By default, FM will show matches in 3d. On slower computers, it can take a long time to load the 3d engine and you can significantly improve performance by switching it off. The way to do this is to head to: • Preferences and then the match tab • Untick the box “View matches in 3D” • Click confirm I for one am old-school so I also prefer to watch the games in 2D. However, if you enjoy the 3D graphics and want to keep these you can improve performance by unchecking non-game effects where especially the stadium effects take a toll on your computer. Only watch key highlights By default in FM, the highlight mode will be set to extended. This means that games can quickly take 10 minutes.

One of the first things I do on any Football Manager save is to go to preferences and change this. • Go to preferences and then the match tab • Under Highlight Mode change to “Key” • Click confirm • This will make the game show less highlights and only show the ones where there is a goal or it was close. Send your assistant to press conferences I for one am about as happy with the press in FM as Jose Mourinho is in real life. So, to avoid these, I just send my assistant. Instead of doing this every single time, you can send your assistant by default: • Go to staff and responsibilities • Set you assistant to go to press conferences A word of caution: This does have a gameplay effect and you should only send someone, who knows how to handle it (being media-friendly helps!).

With that said, I rarely find press conferences to have a large effect and I have been very successful without handling any press conferences myself. Learn shortcuts This is actually the only tip in this post, where you have to do something by yourself. And that is to learn some shortcuts, which will dramatically increase the speed of the game. You can go to: Preferences and then click shortcuts to see an overview of the shortcuts. But from that it’s kinda hard to figure out what’s important so I’ll give you the top 10 FM shortcuts here (for the English language version of the game) Space bar: Clicks continue for you Ctrl+s: Saves the game Middle mouse scroll wheel click: Go to home screen Backspace or left arrow or back click: Go to previous screen Ctrl+f: Search F3: Go to squad screen F4: Go to inbox F7: Go to scouting F10: Go to schedule F11: Go to club information Ctrl+t: Go to tactics Learn these 10 bad boys, and you’ll speed up your game navigation dramatically. Use caching to decrease page loading times This is something that works in the background and will make FM run faster in general. And by default, it will be checked, however, if you have loaded skins you might have unchecked it.
