However, given that I exceed the Recommended Requirements, and that the original Supreme Commander runs smoothly enough on High Settings, I don't expect to get 6-7 FPS from the moment I start a game with settings turned any higher than Low. During the part where I mentioned Anti-Aliasing, I was only highlighting the one setting, 'Fidelity,' than made the most difference when turned up from Low to Medium or High - I only included that detail in case it was of any consequence.ДЇinally, I know that, especially late game, Supreme Commander can be very demanding. The only problem arises with the drastically poorer performance of Forged Alliance.ДЄlso, I'm quite aware that turning down/off settings will increase performance and not they other way around. Secondly, my framerates relative to whatever you might deem poor or not would seem to be irrelevant, as I've already said that I'm quite happy playing the original Supreme Commander at my current framerate. For example, Command & Conquer 3 is actually capped at a maximum of 30 FPS. Whilst for First Person Shooters it would be, most RTS's do not require such high framerates, and appear to play smoothly at around 20-30 FPS. I really want to be able to play this game as, like I've said, many people I played Supreme Commander with have moved on to Forged Alliance, and are reluctant to revert back to the originalДЄny and all help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!Дў0 frames per second, firstly, is not 'quite poor' for most RTS games. These are my system specs:ДЄdmittedly, my laptop is far from the best gaming machine out there, but it meets and surpasses both the Minimum and Recommended Requirements for both the original and Forged Alliance, and whilst I've got a 'desireable' performance from the original, playing Forged Alliance is dreadful. I've tried reinstalling, and with and without the patch, but there's no difference.

Now, although I've not played much of Forged Alliance, I got the impression that it was very similar to the original, only with more units and a new Heads Up Display - nothing to cause such a massive drop in performance. The particular setting that has the most impact is called 'Fidelity.' Most other settings (even the addition of 16x Anti-Aliasing) have very little effect on the framerate. During a typical scenario (a base with some units) I get nothing more than 6-7 FPS on anything more than Low Settings. People then started to play Forged Alliance, so I installed it, patched it and started a game: awful.

We started with the original, and I was pleasantly surprised with how well my notebook could play it - around 18-20 FPS with all Settings on High other than Anti-Aliasing, at 1440x900. Recently, along with several other people I know, I bought the Gold Edition of Supreme Commander, which contains both the original, and the stand-alone expansion, Forged Alliance.
