i have played few FM online games with my friends (i'm the host), but recently we have problem: when they join the game, processing bar shows up and it lasts for 3 minutes, so joining the game takes a really long time. it has never happened before, what is the reason for this? earlier taking control of team was a matter of 2-3 seconds with no processing bar.
do you have lots of leagues loaded?
is your pc too slow? is your connection too slow?
