Disclaimer : this is not an official fix from the Si tean but a discovery by the UFMIG boys whilst playing their online game.

Everyone knows that the lag has been making FM2005 virtually unplayable. It was frustrating for me as i have built a highly specced pc and improved my net connection especially to play FM2005. So if my pc is good and my conn solid what was causing the problem. Well i think its the packets of info sent from the network players in a game to the host. When there is too much info getting passed down the pipe at one time this can cause bottlenecks causing game freezes. Since FM is a highly complex game that utilises lots of info at any one time, this made playing online terrible as hosts connections struggled to cope with rapid packets of info being passed per second.

So this got me thinking how do i streamline fm so it runs at its best.

Well we tried a wee experiment i got every clan member to go into preferences and disable the following

sounds,
show player pics,
show badges/logos
show background pics,
show unique ids,

the results were breathtaking why dont you try it and see for yourself

Seems to be working much better for me now tested it with one of my clan members earlier and all the screens were loading instantly even the training screen which took around 10 seconds to load before hand

As host of FM Fanatics I can say that after a test tonight with 9 members this has helped us a great deal. So much so we feel its playable. Added with any improvement SI can get it seems very promising indeed.

Thankyou Dogs

Well played lads, although personally I would miss the sound of the ball hitting the back of Ligs' net.

Has anyone tried it without sound removed at all and I realise I'm being a pedant?

If not then nice one anyway. :thup:

It works well.

I did half and half yesterday evening To try and spot any differences or key problem areas and didn't notice any real difference in having sound on or off. It appears to me that it is purely a graphical problem and sounds don't come into it
