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 SC to use >1.5GB 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.
