How do i check my graphics card ?

if so ,enter options on the main fm page and turn off 3d match engine then try and create new game

Apparently not all graphics cards are supported in the game, however on the siforums they were saying that if you downloaded the directx thing on the link above it makes more graphic cards work. You could try that. I have a crappy graphics card and have downloaded that SDK and I'm getting a 3d match even though I don't get the 3dmatch in fifa manager 09.

 

That is true, demo didn't work for me, but after downloading that and patching it, it works.

 

Thats the same as mine except the name obviously all the system part is the same but under computer its:

AMD SEMPRON (TM) PROCESSOR
3000+
1.80GHz, 224Mb of RAM
Physical adress of extension



SO CAN MINE COPE?

 

well looks like am * i know i only have a * graphics card but it should be trying to fire up

 

Someone said they have 12 rapidshare links, well the one that works is the small 7kb file from a Russian site that patches the fm.exe file

I got the message that fm.exe encountered an error and had to close down.
