Does the dual monitor support require Vista?
Would be interesting to see it turned to highest settings. The demo stresses pretty well but doesnt stress enough to critical levels where the second core would make the biggest difference.
Increasing the graphics detail, will just put more pressure on the GPU and show an even smaller % of difference between single vs dual core. Using the lowest possible GPU settings, like i did, will show the biggest difference between the cpu usage.

Get your tech workers or your commander to help build them. Normally i get a few of them tech engineers (using the quantum gate), upgrade them so they build faster and then set them working on lvl 3 battleships, with 3-4 of them the build time gets reduced significantly. But you can use them for anything, even the lvl3 bombers that take forever . The more you have the quicker stuff builds, but the more resources they take during build time (as more people are working on it)
I'm loving the demo. The monstrous explosion of the enemy ACU is quite gratifying.
How would I go about this? Just select the extra tech units I have and right click them onto the building that's constructing the units I'm waiting on? I can't wait to get home and try
Yes the explosions are awesome. Even if they obliterate my 120 units that was attacking it
How do I make the ACU build tech 2 and above structures? I figured out how to use the engineers but cant make the commander able to build them. Is it not possible? Also how do I get my engineers to build units faster?
I did this simple comparison for anybody interested. If my maths are correct then using
2 cores = 49.95 Average FPS.
1 core = 44.25 Average FPS
Difference between them is 12.88%...
Upgrade his right arm with the building option. You can do this each time to proceed to the new tech level.
True, but the ACU builds faster than any other construction unit. I don't have specific numbers, but I know that the ACU at T3 builds about as fast as roughly half a dozen T3 workers. It's worth your while - assuming you have the econ to do it - to upgrade your ACU.The only problem is that it takes the ACU friggin FOREVER to upgrade his stuff. It's cheaper and easier to just build level 3 engineers.
Does anyone know how 3rd Party Support will be for the game?
I loved Total Annihilation, the 3rd party community was awesome, and added some great things that kept the game alive for years and years. I found enough to be interested and hung around on various sites until 2002 or so (about five years after the game's original release). I put probably thousands of hours into the game (3/4 of which were playing as ARM, loved those Hawk swarms and Bulldog rushes). It was neat how Cavedog released a new unit time and again, but how easy it was for the community to create it's own units and maps really added legs to the game, even after Cavedog went under.
Is Supreme Commander condusive to modifications and third party additions?
I haven't tried the demo yet. I currently own a single core 2.0 system, just a gig of ram and an aging video card. But getting a new system later this month (2.4 dual core, 2 gigs of ram, 8800GTS) so hope I'll be able to run it alright once I get things set up with that rig.
Anyone have cliff notes on this 7 page thread?
played the demo.. not really impressed... graphics on Max the game still looks like crap... gameplay is slow and boring , gave up and uninstalled.
Try upgrading your machine and coming back to the game you may find it more enjoyable. Sorry you didnt enjoy it .
I checked out other forums I noticed over 3/4 of the people complaining and was a disapointment have a older system listed as there main computer or referanced a slower system. Got a higher negative reaction from people at anandtech forums, the majority of the people their complained about graphics and slow gameplay (almost all of them were running on 5-7 year old CPUs ex. AMD Xp @2ghz CPUs and +2 year old video cards ATI 9800s.)
I can see them saying the gameplay is slow because they just cant do a standard mass one type of unit that takes 10 seconds to build. This game has a huge selection of tech options that sometimes take a few minutes. The full version game should have a ability to set game speed like every other RTS out there and should speed up gameplay. If it doesnt, I hope its added.

TA was always slow, nothing new. I can't wait for the full game + mods. I miss the "no long range cannons/missles" mod.

dude long range cannons are the best
I love close combat personally.
Ohhhhh man... I haven't been this consumed by an RTS since Starcraft. I just did a skirmish and it was awesome ! It escalated to having hundreds of units, which even on my rig bogged things down a little ! I cannot wait for the retail version to come out !
My system is:
Core 2 Duo (Conroe) E6600 @ 3.42ghz
2GB OCZ Platinum XTC Rev. 1 RAM (2x1GB) (380FSB with 9x multiplier)
eVGA 8800GTS @ 621(core)/1460(shader/sp)/2000(ram)
Asus P5W DH Deluxe 975X ATX motherboard (inside of a modded X-Qpack mATX case)
(misc. stuff like hard drives, dvd burner, etc.)
Running Windows VIsta
This game looks to be a whopper! It looks INCREDIBLE, and plays on an INCREDIBLE level.
Nice system close to the same as mine. I have the following:
e6600 @ 3.44ghz
2GB Patriot DDR2800
Gigabyte DS3
eVGA 8800GTS
Runs SupCom super silky smooth highest settings for me .
Out of curiosity, is anyone running a system similar to what nullzero and GoldenTiger have, but not overclocking the processor?
I've read that the game is very processor intensive, and the system I should have together by the end of this month will have almost the same specifications as the two of these guys (E6600, 2gb of memory, 8800GTS). But overclocking spooks me...I know the dangers are pretty limited, it's mostly just my kind of severe anxiety issues getting the better of me that keep me from playing with such things.
So, is anyone running similar rigs, but not overclocked? This game is the first game in a long time I've been really looking forward to, and following the news for over a year, I really want to make sure when I get it, it runs right. If needed I will probably go ahead and overclock as needed, but just wondering if it's something I'll be doing basically immediatly or not.
Thanks!
