WE ARE FOOTBALL 2024 Update 3 (official update 1)

-------------------------------------------------

 

The game requires a lot of memory for large user databases. If this is not available, the game may crash.

 

We therefore recommend:

Be sure to increase the size of the Windows pagefile, our suggestion would be 16 GB

Instructions on how to do this can be found pinned at the top under "Discussions", it's straightforward

Make sure that there is enough free disc space available

For fast gaming: The larger the DB, the more RAM should be available

Switch off countries that are not required if possible
