I suppose the only way to get round it would be to move the fighters to a smaller number of regions. I could be wrong, but I think the game slows down dramatically when all regions are active. I don't have all regions active in my mod, there are some areas in the world that I've left empty of fighters. Not a fix I know.
so if the regions were changed to countries and the rest deleted I wonder if that would work long term. Seems unusual that it's tied to that - i'd think it's more the number of fighters being the factor

My computer is quite fast and doesn't seem to take too long between turns but I still find myself watching Youtube in between turns. I suppose for some that would break the immersion a little bit, but I often skip 3 or 4 days at a time and watch Youtube in between. Works pretty well for me.🙂
my pc is fast too - it's a limitation of the game, not hardware. Waiting long periods of time when selecting names in the booking screen is the reality. As Flamesnoopy mentions, it does become completely unplayable. It's really unfortunate too because that's when the game becomes alot of fun when you've created the history, witnessed/influenced it all, and want to continue building the world along with shaping the future fighters.

Agree fully other than I find I spend too much time waiting for the game to simulate. I’m in 2024 with over 20 years and it’s slows to a crawl even booking the fights it’s slow to load. That’s the only thing really killing it for me. Really wish the performance was better long term.
-
it becomes somewhat tedious, but it works better than going through each fighter in your company
-
yeah most tend to be later in age as you mentioned. Would be nice for it to be adjustable, but I don't see that happening.
-
If there was a WMMA 6 announced that would be such a happy day for me. Improved sim speeds alone would be incredible. I'm glad they still support this game, but I wish they would continue to build off it. Once the creators passion is gone, this project tends to die.
-
no, there isn't - wish they added those type of options in the game as that's a great idea.
All you can do is filter fighters by momentum and cut them one at a time in the fight cutter screen

no critical errors found in the datebase, however when the game world is being created it does indicate: "An unexpected error has occurred ('Not a valid bookmark'), the game must be closed"
any idea why this is happening?
-
Sorry, I missed the original reply. To confirm, that's correct, the series has finished and there won't be a WMMA6.
why is that? There's so much more that can be done with the game especially with speed, although i'm guessing it would need a complete recode. Guess there just wasn't enough sales to warrant a new one or Grey Dog Software's passion for the sport/game is gone. There's no other game out there like this so it's sad to hear, not surprised. I'm glad it's still being supported by the occasional patch...I bought a new $1000 graphics card a while back only to continue to play this game for hours on end haha
-
I would love a WMMA6. WMMA5 was Adam's all time best game and even just some improvements would be awesome. That said, after seeing TEW 2020 and how it developed in the long run, even in terms of perception for the community, maybe it is best to end the series on a spectacular note.
I just wish they found a way to make the simulation to next events much more time efficient. 95% of the game for me is waiting for the next event to arrive.
While I greatly enjoy the game when I get to the fight cards, it's really hard to justify throwing my time away just waiting. That's really the reason I would hope we see a WMMA6.
-
Though it's obvious it's placed in "tech support" after a process of elimination, I do understand your frustration. Maybe a sticky link in this GD forum could be helpful.
I assume a lot of people just want the patch and not the mods/discussions.
No, It was difficult to find for me originally also. Tech support is typically not the location we think of for general patches. I agree stickied in the main general discussions would make it alot easier for any newcomers
-
I really hope that that is eventually so. It's my most played game after Crusader Kings 2 and Rimworld. There are quite a few things that could be added in a new game.
I don't think Adam would have to immerse himself too much either to improve on WMMA5 despite it being the best game of the series.
Even making the game utilize power for 64 bit processing would be significant. I could be wrong but I do not believe it does. It's nice to see that new updates still get added for WMMA5 at least.
-
not to speak for adam but I think it's easier to crack or steal a game on steam. i personally don't like steam, I have no use for it. i dont think it's safe
This isn’t the type of game that would get pirated on a large scale, and the people who would download it illegally are more likely to buy eventually if they enjoy it (and can afford it). Otherwise they likely would never have purchased the game to begin with.
Steam takes a large percent of each purchase, but at the other end they also offer the potential opportunity to expand the audience. This game is such a niche subject it’s unlikely to spread the word enough to make a difference at this time, so giving up % of the sales likely doesn’t make sense with the current version. I’m sure there would be questions surrounding the user review scores as well to a much lesser extent….there’s a deep game here for stat based sport sim fans that can get beyond the GUI, sim speeds...for some steam users those obstacles could reflect in a score under 90%. (sort of like front office football 8 on steam which has 222 user reviews...an 80% rating for that game is pretty solid)
All speculative here of course, I just wouldn't expect there would be any major benefits with wmma5 moving to steam at the moment.

- Matchmaker Assistant Addition: Auto match opponent. Would be nice where you could select a fighter and click a button for the game to auto book them in a show.
Would also like to see auto match show where the AI takes on the match making. Sometimes I like doing the main show or main events and wouldn't mind letting the AI take on the tedious job of prelims the odd time. It can start feeling like a chore when your company becomes quite large.
- Option to have calendar be week to week for quicker sims. Major infrastructure change this would be so maybe something for WMMA6. The time I end up waiting until my next show is really the biggest knock I have against this game. The match ups and watching shows play out is great but so much time wasted waiting to sim to the next show.
- Add ranking next to fighters name in the Match Making screen
- In the fight screen, add ranking next to their name or somewhere on the screen. currently the user has to keep clicking the players photo to view the profile at this point to see it.
When I take my time and let myself become fully immersed, I really think this is one of the best games ever

after you’ve created an amazing amount of history 30 plus years into the game it sucks having to quit only because of slow speeds. I really hope they make 6 and focus solely on making long term play more enjoyable by maintaining speeds.
