Slow game

Post by marijnschouten »

Hello all!!

I started a new EHM game with the Leafs, but it takes minutes at the start of the season to go from day to day, is this because I selected a full database???

Can anyone help me???

Thanks!!!

The main things to look out for:

- Database size. A bigger database will create more players for the game to keep track of.

- Number of selected leagues. More leagues means more for the game to simulate.

- League detail level. 'Enhanced' leagues will simulate matches in full detail, slowing the game down. (I always put all leagues on 'Standard', except the one I'm managing in, and maybe a couple others related to it).

If you're on bare minimum with all of the above, and it's still slow... you need a better computer. ;)
