FM slow with internet on

Dear all,

I hope you can help me.
I've an HP Elitebook.
When I'm playing Football Manager 2015 with the internet connection off everything is fine.
But when i'm connecting with the internet FM is very slow.
Is there a solution for this?

I've a video card with 64 MB (128 required). That can be the problem. But when internet is off, everything is fine. That's weird.

I ain't too computer expert, but maybe try a different browser? Maybe the laptop just can't handle whatever browser you are using and FM both going at the same time

I have a similar problem, and switching from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome improved the running speed. However, if you have a computer which is near to the minimum system requirements for running FM, then having anything else open at the same time will cause FM to run slower.

But the problem is: I don't use the browser.
The only thing i've is a internet connection and then Football Manager is slow.
When I turn off the connection FM is working fine.

That is a weird one, wonder if its your firewall or some anti-virus stuff just totally slowing down the whole laptop when you're connected? Is anything updating or downloading automatically when you get online?

I can play Pro Cycling Manager when i'm connected with the internet.
So that's not the problem.
Only Football Manager is very slow.

There have been issues in the past with anti virus software that does live scanning causing problems with FM. Have you tried leaving your connection open, but disabling your anti virus (if you have one)?

Yes, i've Symantec Endpoint Protection.
But FM is still slow when I disable the anti-virus.

Have you opened up task manages to see what's going on when it slows down?

This is happening when I play a match.

Hmm, is there anything else going on in the processor column?
