New Update

[Hubbard]

I don't understand. The game plays fine with the version prior to this last update. When I upgraded now i get a white screen in game. I can see slight shadows of the players.

I've never had a problem with patches up to this point. Anyone else having this problem?

[Hubbard]

There is no problem with the display on the practice field. I did notice frame rates prior to installing the patch was 30+, now frame rates are in the teens.

Can anyone help me?

I had this problem once, and if I remember correctly something got screwed up with the field texture files.

[Hubbard]

I uninstalled and installed 2.0 and everything is fine. Any ideas?

I noticed somethings that were similar. The game took a downturn in terms of performance on my machine. Framerate makes the game look "jumpy". I might down grade to a lower graphics setting and see if that helps.

Here is a screen shot. I've waited patiently for a long time for this update. Someone please help!!!


Trying to embed screen shot in post but it says the file is too large. Ive posted screen shots before what is the deal?

[Mykal]

just make it smaller man
and try again

[Hubbard]

Okay here is the screen shot. I apologize for being a pain, but I've been waiting on this for a long time and I didn't see where the computer requirements had changed to run this game.

I figure if it ran okay prior to the update it should run fine now. Thanks.

That's looks like a playoff game in Green Bay.
 
What graphics settings are you at?
 
What settings have you tried?
 
What settings worked before?
 

[Hubbard]

I used to play with normal player detail, 1024x768 32 screen size, shadow detail normal, sound on, and show replay off.

I have tried to play it with the new update with everything at it's lowest setting. Attached are screen shots of my system and graphics.

Graphics

[Mykal]

just off the top of my head Bro,

I would say you need to look at that graphics memory
on the hole you've got a really good system but that graphical memory really isnt on a par with everything else

MaxFootball needs around 128mb minimum
and you've got 96mb max

I would put money on that being the problem

[Tullius]

I agree. You should have 128 MB of Graphic Memory.

Here the systems requirements (FAQ www.maximum-football.com)

What are the hardware requirements?

Windows XP(SP2) or Windows Vista
1 GHz CPU (2.0 GHz+ Recommended)
512 MB RAM Minimum. (2 GB for Windows Vista)
128 MB Video Card (Non-integrated Video) . Your video card must support at least Pixel 1.0 and Vertex Shader 1.0. DirectX-compatible Sound Card
300 MB free Hard Drive space
Windows Compatible Mouse
DirectX 9c
As of Version 2.0, versions of Microsoft Windows other than XP(SP2) or Vista are no longer supported.

Yeah I would say a new computer possibly might be better in the long run. I would suggest building your own it's something I have been doing for a while and it's very cheap compared to buying store bought. I got a 3GB, AMD Phenom, and a Nvidia 6--- series card. It can play any game and I won't have to update it for a long time. The total cost was like $400, but you can get less memory and a lesser graphics card and save about $100.

I think your PC is fine, but a new vid card wouldnt hurt.
I picked up an Nvidia 512 meg PCIe about a year ago, its dropped a bit in price. Im not a big gamer, I play mostly older stuff. It works great for me and runs MaxFB fantastic.

[therhino]

Yeah if you only play old games and don't use your computer much then a grpahics card might work.

While I am not seeing the severe glitches described above, the latest patch did cause a substantial framerate drop for me as well, and it's not like I'm seeing a commensurate change in graphical details to warrant such a drop.  I've tried re-installing it from scratch and I'm still seing about a 10-15 frames per second degredation in performance with this latest patch.

Gary, you mentioned in another thread using a fresh full install of 2270 prior to installing the patch, but I cannot find a full install for 2270 anywhere in registered downloads or elsewhere.  The only version available of 2270 is an upgrade patch version from 2.0 only - if installed on its own, it will not create the necessary directories or verify the serial number.  If indeed a complete install was distributed at some point, can Matrix please make this full install available to registered users?

[garysorrell]

If you have 2.0, then 2.2.70 upgrade is what you should have. The 2.2.70 complete is something that was on the beta testers server. Maybe that one is something they distributed to new buyers at the time. Or not. I dont know. If you have 2.0 and 2.2.70 upgrade, you already have the equivalent of the complete, so having it wouldnt be necessary. I always downloaded and tested whatever they posted, so I can vouch for it being the same.

I noticed a bit of a framerate drop. Not sure why, and unless we hear from David on this, or maybe Marauders or Erik might know, it may be something we have to live with.

I guess it would be a good idea for anyone having issues, to try an install of 2.0/2.2.70/2.2.90
If that doesnt work try 2.0/2.2.90

Never know what might be causing a problem.

Wait Mykal I mean build it yourself not let someone else build it to you specs. When I say build it I mean like put it together with yourself.
