TBH a 500 unit limit should be enough for any sort of game, you just (destroy and) replace your T1 stuff with T2 and then your T2 stuff with T3.

I would definitely try Duncanes AI fix and make sure you have vista SP1, but apart from that there's nothing you can do really (except switch to XP 32 bit and then do the MadBoris fix) apart from play smaller maps, less AI and smaller unit limits.

I've had this happen with just 2 AI on an 80*80 so god knows how bad it would be with 7-8 AIs. An hour long game would actually take 5-6 hrs to play, everything would be moving in slow motion and build times would be 5-6x normal, even on a quad core. I'm not talking about framerates but simulation speed. TBH though there's no point playing 80*80, 8 AI, 1000 unit limit anyway since even if it didn't crash it would unplayable. You might also like to consider using Duncanes FA stock AI fix which fixes some memory leaks with the AI, stops the sim-speed slowing down so much, and makes them play more intelligently (warning: the AI is also harder) -Īfter reading the last few pages of that thread it seems like there's issues with FA crashing in Vista on big maps with lots of AI which aren't fixed by the MadBoris tweak. Of course another way to avoid the crashes is stick to 500 unit limit, 20*20 or smaller maps and one or two AIs maximum. Still surprised you're hitting the problem 30 mins into a game - you must have tons of AI and be using a big map. MadBoris knows his stuff, he wrote the SupCom Core Optimizer and other SupCom/FA tools.

He gives full instructions there for both 32 and 64 bit Vista, and he also links to a Microsoft Vista hotfix that helps with the problem. The instructions I posted above were actually XP only, I've only ever used this under XP and didn't realize the procedure was different under Vista. Fortunately, there’s still a way to fix these crashing issues in Supreme Commander 2. This makes Supreme Commander 2 totally unplayable.

Some of these issues are the Supreme Commander 2 crashing, and worse, the game crashes during startup. To be honest you should read MadBoris' post and the instructions that come with the download, since it explains it much better than I can. Since the release of the Supreme Commander 2, players have been reporting several issues. Application address space isn't the same thing as either memory or swap file.
