Supreme Commander should have had an 800×600 mode, if it did so it may not have recieved so much critisism for being unplayable on most average computers. I hope Supreme Commander 2 developers have the sense to include an 800×600 screen mode

people pass the responsibility to qualified writers because they miss the ability to compose a good paper about SupComTalk so the reason why students need to use plagiarism check, but such guys like composer don't do that. Thanks for the knowledge

I have a major problem with my online Supcom as whenever I load up GPG net all the options to join game, host game, join ranked game ect ect are faded out and I cannot click on them, also if I join a chat channel it instantly bans me from the general chat, I also cannot download patches, replays, mods, maps ect ect. Could someone please tell me how to solve this as I really would like to play my favourite game online.

Reference dam quad core technicalities *always something blowing up haha* anybody have any ideas what is causing me a huge core temperature increase early on in game.

Its almsot as if creating 20 or so air units ups the core temps by 20 degrees, fromt eh 34-36 primary core temp im used to up 2 like 50 almsot on each(speedfan sensor reading)

Running two machines at the moment both with the same stutter issue, even low texure settings and fidelity off arent much help.

Both are q6600 quad core 2.5ghz 4gb ram 8500gt on vista x64 and 32x respectively.

Im thinking that perhaps excessive video stress is over pressurizing the cores as the temperature recorded is rizing to stupid levels…not to mention it feels dam hot.

I have stress tested it with FA cheater ai x 4 and core temp can be over 50c in a few seconds of game play with fps hitting 30 or lower from a starting 90+

Im not exactly a hardware buff so any help would be appreciated.

anyone think they can drop me a direct link to the core optimizer software? i can easly find AMD core optimizers but no intel. or at least the site where to find it?

Speaking as the owner of a quad core, the core optimizer has very little effect on my sim speed (up to about -2, maximum, so I can still run it at +8 if need be).

I’ve been doing a lot of testing (after a clean reinstall) to try and optimize how well FA plays on my machine. I’ve found that the core maximizer program increases the framerates, but at about a ten point hit to sim speed, at least on my machine.

Even with the lower sim speed, having fluid motion on the screen makes the game much more wonderful to play. Just wish I could have that plus massive 1000 unit battles at the same time without the game running at, oh, -7 or so. :)

Shadow000, try using the core optimizer mentioned above. What it does is distributes the various parts (threads) of the game so that both/all cores get used more evenly. If you don’t use the core optimizer, the game just fills up one core and then starts to fill the second, which doesn’t make good use of the two cores in a dual core machine.

hi. General question?
I have a custom Build Computer and even i cant figure this one out.
Im running Off a ASUS 4 core motherboard. (only running a dual core Intel Pentium D [3.2 X 2])

CPU[3.2 x 2]
Ram [2 GB]
Graphics [Radeon X1650 Pro Series] – Turn off ATI Software to stop the 5 Min Crash effect (thanks NVIDIA)

But the Problem i am Having is the Game would run Perfectly fine if it Ran off Both Proccessing core.
i watch Task Manager as the game is in windowed view and it only uses the first core and the second core runs at 0-5%(idle) all other games i run balance the Proccesses to both core but this is weird. it will only uses the first core.
Has anyone ever herd of this or know a way to fix this problem? I would be very greatful thank u
