i still havent figured how to slow the screen scrolling not playing until i can
its unplayable for me screen scrolls like 100 mph so frustrating

I never scroll the traditional way.

I zoom out, move the mouse to the location I want to focus on, then zoom in again. I do it without thinking, but it's just as handy to get you from one end of the map to the other as it is to move half a screen (you just zoom out different amounts). I love the 'strategic zoom' feature in this game

same as me. yes the scrolling is stupidly fast. Like said above mousewheel down, move pointer to place on map then mousewheel in.

Yeah its great, i never scroll. Its just annoying when i go to play a different RTS where i keep trying to zoom out!!

Lol I do that - always have loads of interceptors patrolling the base(s). At least until I've got enough tech 2 flack built.

I'll be hovering about later, add flecture to your friends list and give me a prod (might be AFK now and then)

titaniumx3 · 9 Apr 2007 at 17:26

I wouldn't mind having a match this evening, my in game name is "psybience".

To refuel aircraft, all I have to make them do is make the patrol path go over a refueling depot right? I keep finding my planes landed and empty all over the map!!

And does anyone else have problems setting patrol paths sometimes? Sometimes it just won't link the waypoints into a circuit, it just keeps adding waypoints

I've just played this again after not playing it for about a month and the performance has increased loads!

Was hosting a 4 player vs 4 CPU LAN game and it ran so much smoother.. Have they patched it and made it good? Or is it just that my new RAM has allowed me a better overclock for the game to run smoother?

V|per · 9 Apr 2007 at 20:34

They have indeed released a patch that was supposed to increase performance a bit, but the higher overclock should help too

btw dis, gg

hmm it seems i can play supreme commander, but not for long, as it occasionally crashes and boots me to desktop

im running XP, latest drivers, and the game is fully patched up. any help?

Ewanb75 · 10 Apr 2007 at 00:37

Ive had one complete system reboot :confused:

and then a unknown error :confused:

And Ive just re-installed it and patched up tonight

They should just land on the pad regardless and then go back to the patrol path, you shouldnt have any planes sitting on the ground atall unless you havent looped a proper patrol path. They will land if you just create a straight line patrol path, in other words if you dont join up and loop it.

Holding down shift and clicking left mouse button when selected on an air factory or set of planes should set it up no problem, then holding down shift again will show the patrol path so you can manually move the waypoints if you want to.

I am having the same problems as well, It seems to run for about 15 - 20 mins then it crashes out. I disabled the on guard on my norton anti virus and that seems to have had some effect. Though it still seems to crash on occasion. Its so annoying cause I love this game and yet I cannot put my skills from TA to use..
