If you find the game is slow to run then you can try the following to speed things up:

1 - Use Minimum Database
Select Minimum Database from the Game Settings menu before starting the game, this will load a cut-down database with fewer players and clubs present which will speed up the game.

2 - Select Fewer leagues
If you have a slow PC, try selecting fewer leagues as this will cut down on the in game processing (see requirements above for memory recommendations).

3 - Slow screen changes
This may be because of an old style video card (for all you geeks out there 16bit colour is held in video memory as RGB 555 or 565 depending upon your video card) .. CM3 will be slower when changing screens with a RGB 555 video card. To test this simply turn off picture changes in the Game Settings menu within CM3.

4 - Close all other applications
Ensure that CM3 is the only application that you are running, any other applications will use up valuable system memory which may slow down the game.
