So I've just got this, and it plays fine normally. But if I plug my laptop in to charge, I get incredible amounts of lag during matches, making it unplayable. Anyone got any idea why that might be the case?

Power settings? Like when the laptop is plugged in other programs become active and eat up your processor and/or RAM

Did you try jiggling the chord?

Take out the game, blow on it, and put it back in?

Hehe

[Whisper]

Been doing a lot of reading about FM and watching videos, whilst starting random saves to mess around with tactics. Finally settled on a Walsall game.

Rico Henry and Romaine Sawyers are basically cheat codes.

So are literally all wing backs for that matter.

Messed around with the power settings with no joy, and nothing else seems to become active when plugged in, I don't get it.

Windows 10?

[Cymbols]

Yeah

I was reading something about processor options on Windows 10 sometimes taking up background resources. I'm using a shite laptop at the mo and have every FM setting on low or none.

[Baddar]

I played 15 running on my Windows 10 laptop and the match engine was jumpy as hell. Figured it was just because I'd paid about 300 for the laptop and the graphics card was poo.

[Cymbols]

Problem for me is that it isn't just the match engine that's slow, it's the whole game. And I'm playing using a fairly small database.

Are you playing it on an abacus?

I don't have an issue with the game on Windows 10 when plugged in.

Have you tried the SI forums?

Tried making a team out of second or third generation footballers (e.g. father > son, uncle > nephew, etc). Turns out you can:
