System Tweaking Tips and Advice

  • If you are running Windows XP SP2 with a multi-core CPU, it is advised you install this MS hotfix.
    Installing this hotfix ensures Supreme Commander uses all available CPU cores.
  • Turn off Shadows! Yes, they look pretty, but they 1/2 the framerate, even when on the Low setting.
  • Large games that cause Supreme Commander to use >1.5GB of RAM will crash due to a bug. To fix this problem, see here.
  • Make sure that Anisotropic and Antialiasing settings in the nVidia control panel are set to "Application-controlled".
    Not doing so can cause Supreme Commander to crash.
  • If you are using a normal ADSL/Cable router, you DO NOT need to forward any ports to play or host a multiplayer game.
    Forwarding ports can cause problems when playing GPGnet games (ie, yellow & red pings).
    Supreme Commander is smart and takes care of port forwarding (or NAT) on routers itself.

Minimum:

  • Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2, Vista
  • 1.8 GHz processor
  • 512 MB RAM
  • 8GB available hard drive space
  • 128MB video RAM or greater, with DirectX 9 Vertex Shader/Pixel Shader 2.0 support
