For the patches, 3223 is the latest. I'm not sure if there's a standalone version or if you have to use a previous patch first. For example, I used the 3220 to 3223 incremental patch.

It will run fine on that system with high settings. I play it on my rig (in sig) on high settings at 1280x1024 2xAA and it only struggles a bit here and there.

As for tips......are you new to RTS games? Just use the tutorials that start the missions and you'll pick it up soon enough. Half the fun is in the learning in these games :)

Na i love RTS games, this just seems a lot different. Its installed now, so i am gonna give it a go.

Thanks for the info
 
tips: login to gpgnet to get the patches automatically, when all is up to date, click the view rankings button, make note of the top 10 players, then do a search on them on the replay vault, download and watch their replays: fastest way to learn imo

Your spec should be good enough to play in high res w/ max settings, my rig is C2D @ 3.2, 88gtx 2gig ram.. running at 1680x1050 with max settings @ 16xAA
 
GOOD NEWS ALL! there is finally a model importer for supreme commander, so there should be **** load of quality (not just copies of units made bigger) mods heading our way soon :)

er.. mass and energy 0/0 ?

:confused:

My energy was at +0, think one would have to have a unit limit of about 10000 to get enough mass for +99999 though (and a lot being built to use up 99999 too..)

guys
don't do the latest patch
just did
game doesn't work anymore AGAIN
really REALLY hate the support for this game so much.
 
I've had real problems with the latest patch too, tried about 6 games last night and 4 of them c2d'd after not too long and thats never happened before ... at most the game crashed cos someone d/c or what have you but not just crashed straight to desktop :/

im assuming c2d is not the popular cpu and means crashed to desktop, i have had this in a couple of games, but i had that before the patch anyway..

tbh, the patch addresses loads of bugs and actually makes t2 useful..

No, you have no, nor are you using any, mass or energy.. someone is using cheats ;)
 
A friend has installed the latest patch and as soon as he Exits SC it just restarts his pc ?

Anyone else get that issue or heard of it ?

So far the new patch is great but one thing ive noticed is Sorians AI just isnt nearly as hard or fun as it was before, I mean before I was finding it impossible to win the AI was just spamming units/attacking and sneaking in units from behind and double teaming and attacking me... but the new patch and latest Sorian AI is just too easy ?

Anyone else notice this.....
 
having no trouble wiht this patch whatsover, infact i am getting massive performance improvements with respect to pathfinding primarily even switched to new graphics card since patch aswell and still no problems

although they have improved the standard ai a lot in the patch, and some mods aren't working so that's why sorian ai seems weak maybe (standard ai replaced it for now)

actually, im producing over 99999 energy, and using over 99999 energy, and as the game doesn't post numbers above that, it works it out as +0...

energy is produced in the thousands, and mass is produced in 48's at tops per unit... would need a hell of a lot of 48's to hit +99999 (not to mention the energy required to run it..) thus a stupid unit limit...

+ i don't know how to cheat... and it spoils the game :D

Yeah noticed that Sorian is working hard on the next AI release due any day now apparantly its even better then before the new patch lots of tweeks/balances/economie and other strategies.... cant wait :)
 
I had to reinstall the game in order to get the latest patch to work, it kept failing when trying to patch various dlls. The game runs fine atm.
