Slow/OOTP not responding

JanesAddctn · 07-29-2009, 02:47 PM

I am running OOTP 10 on a Desktop PC with Vista (Quad Core Processor, Dual NVidia Graphics cards).

I am able to play the game (using run as admin at first and now I can just double click on desktop icon to start) but it is extraordinarilly slow. I have been unable to encounter any of the crash bugs mentioned on the posts because the farthest I have gotten in one game has been jst after an amateur draft.

-Auto-playing just a couple of days may take over a minute or more
-Clicking for different reports or player pages sometimes freezes the screen for way too long
- Doing either of the above actions may also cause my screen to freeze for longer periods with a message of "OOTP 10 not responding" (this comes with a change in screen color....the screen will change to an almost ghostly transparent white)

I have tried to fix by adjusting game setup (not stopping auto-play for personal messages, no player photo, only saving human player box score) but this helps very little if at all.

Please help.

Are you suffering similar slowdowns with other programs on your machine?

Have you got a virus checker running? If so, can you exclude the OOTP saved games directory from it?

Turning off virus protection helped a lot...Thank you.

Although....another issue (which I was not allowed to start a thread for).

Is it normal for so many prospects scouting reports to change for the worse every year?

I have seen a couple of times now when I have a scouting director (with above 90 in every type of scout rating) who tells me players who I have or trade for are "future hall of famer" or "can't miss" only to have the ratings change dramatically for the worse ("jorneyman minor-leaguer" or worse). I realize this happens in real life, but on more than one occasion I have this happen to more than five-seven highly regarded prospects in a single year.

This has nothing to do with the vast differences in scouting reports on scouting and ratings pages
