unistalled , installed again and nothing
simply not working
I searched the forums and saw that I did not have this problem alone. But I did not find any solution. The problem is that immediately after loading the game, with admin rights, obvious, I get the message "out of memory" and "out of system resources". The computer does not have to be the problem here, I have an I7 8700, RTX 2070, 16 GB RAM, Samsung SSD. The Task Manager shows me that FM Genie Scout uses 1.7 GB of RAM and all the memory used (with the other programs used in parallel, is 68%). And this error occurs to me from the first edition launched in Fm 2020. The difference is that before it appeared after looking at 10-15 players. I had to close the program, start it again and i could use it to see 10-15 players. Now it doesn't work anymore. It loads, it appears "out of memory" and I can do nothing but stop it. Is there a solution here?
