Supreme Commander Beta

[GNEP]

Downloaded it and had a play - thanks for the heads-up Mehen. Definitely not stable yet; kept getting freezes on an Athlon XP64 3000+, 2GB RAM, 6600GT machine (running Vista, which could be it...)

But as for the game? Hell yeah TA brought up to date (not that it really needed it!) Great. Can't wait for the final release.

RUNS EXTREMELY SLOW after about 45min into game, dunno if its because there are so many units or a memory leak (or both) - literally 1 frame per second or LESS. Hard to enjoy like that, didn't even finish my game.

If I have time I will give more of an update later...

Controls are VERY similar to TA, as is resource system (metal has been renamed to "mass" now).

On different forums and sites they keep saying how unoptimized the graphics engine is, it runs pretty damn good imo - hopefully the final will have low system reqs.

Haven't tried setting up the dual monitor thing yet, I will probably try it when I get home tonight.

Even though you can zoom out to the entire map and all your units/buildings show up as your team colored dots, I kind of wish it had a mini-map. I am interested to see what if anything new shows up when I play in dual-monitor mode.

Available for dload everywhere (i got mine from fileplanet). You need a key, but there is a crack available, lets you play LAN and enables AI, I will be playing tonight, will give update on how it is later.

Runs decent enough at 1280 on my system.
