Pffft, no 64-bit Vista support. :roll:

Ultimately suprising, I get a new rig and my card struggles to run it any higher than medium on average with a 1024 x 768 res. Yet with company of heroes, perhaps the most graphics demanding RTS on the market, I can crank that almost at max detail in some highly obscure widescreen resolution. Strange stuff :?

[Sonic 296]

Thats very strange. I can run the C&C3 on my system with everything set to high detail (no AA though) at 1280 x 1024, native resolution for my 19" LCD.

 

Could be a driver issue with your video card C&C King.

Just an update, C&C 3 is Fraps compatible, I just tested it.

It actually suggests to me C&C 3 doesn't support hyper threading. Cos CoH does.

There was a slight moment of serious concern for me when I hit the demo button and the screen went black and nothing happened...

 

Then the tralier kicked in and it was all good.

 

All high at 1024 x 768 works fine for me. I'll see how it goes at 1280 x 1024 later. But for now.. Posting then back to C&C3!

THESE ARE INNACURATE!

 

I played with a Intel Celeron 1.3ghz and it ran fine!

[Sonic 296]

They are not inaccurate, they are the minimum supported requirements for C&C 3 from EA. There is nothing stopping you from running the game on something below that, but if the game crashes or simply doesn't work you can't complain to EA about it.

Meh. At least EA lets me play. I tried SupCom (which has similar requirements) it wouldn't let me even launch the game.

ugh, I hate my pc...1.8 and it won't :?

 

Well, I'm upgrading soon, just like I did for generals, so it's all good
