Hiya all, I have a problem with running supreme commander 2:
During game approximately every 10 minutes I get a short complete freeze and an error message saying "VPU Recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands." I am sure many are familiar with this error on ATI cards.
Anyway; supreme commander 2 is the only game in which I get this problem, I run many other games which at full graphics which are equally high spec, including Bioshock 2 and GTA4, with no problem. It is only supreme commander 2, and I have not been able to isolate any particular thing I do which causes the crash, except it happens faster and most frequently on mission 3 of the UEF campaign. I can almost allways continue playing after each freeze until the next freeze, so the card, or problem, clearly recovers.
A bit about my system:
i7 920 running at 3.4ghz (load about 55 degrees, water cooled), 6gig of DDR3 1600, asus P6T, ATI radeon HD5970 (powercolour) - two monitors 24" and 22" both at native*60hz, HDDs: 1TB (2*500GB @ raid0 on an intel SASWT4I), OS: XP 64bit. PSU - 850 watt corsair.
The graphics card is not OCed, and has not been at any point heavily OCed. It's temperature according to ATI-catalyst is around 60 degrees at sustained 80% < load, the card has never to my knowledge been at significantly higher temperatures. Although my CPU is OCed, the PCI-E frequency is default (100.) I have not seen any instability in other games either, suggesting hardware wise it is ok. I have the latest version of the drivers and catalyst (10.2 i think) and supcom2 has been updated over steam to whatever it's newest version is.
I do realise that both the card and game are very new, and thus there could be some bugs not worked out yet in both... however If anyone has a fix I would greatly appreciate it.
