Fifa 09?

Hello all. I had the arms-out trouble, latest GeForce drivers sorted that out. My current problem is that the game gradually slows down as I play. Things are fine at kick-off, but after 10 minutes of play time, the machine is grinding really hard and the graphics performance has slowed almost to a halt.

I've been trying to work out what cumulative problem could be causing this sort of error. I know FIFA 09 records the whole game as you play, maybe that's the problem? I'm running in Vista compatibility mode, as administrator. I have a GeForce 8800 Ti, and the latest DirectX. Any thoughts?

Hmmm. A possibility, thanks, I'll have a look, but that sounds unlikely since it never has done in the past - no performance issues at all. And overheating graphics cards, in my experience, lead to glitches and crashes, not slowdown. Also, doesn't explain the hard disk grinding away, which I can't get my head around.

Just FIFA 09 - weird right? Everything else runs just fine.

OK filled in for the most part. Cheers.
