Many answers on google including manually adjusting the monitor in the game settings to the correct resolution... otherwise this seems the most credible, from Microsoft.

Also, have you checked your hardware will run the game (CPU, Graphics card, and Ram)

Found out why, my graphics card can't support 3D Shader models, planning to get a new graphics card. Thanks for the help anyway.

depending on your current system specs, i would get a pretty decent graphics card , AND make sure it will fit in your computer before getting the first one found.

Ok.

"Unable to create Direct3D" for Supreme Commander and Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance fix!

For those that installed these games in steam, tried to launch and received Unable to create Direct3D after clean installation.

Step 1: open steam folder where you have it installed. mine is games folder because I don't like it in program files

C\games\steam\steamapps\common\supremecommander\bin

open bin and right click SupremeCommander.exe and troubleshoot compatibility don't click try recommended settings. click on troubleshoot program instead check off I dont see my problem listed select operating system (I run windows 8.1 but chose windows8) click next and test the program it should launch in windowed mode then go to options in game and adjust resolution, mine is 1920x1080 at 60hz and hit apply.

Step 2: you will need to edit game.prefs default resolution in appdata which is a hidden folder


C\Users\"user name"\appdata\Local\GasPoweredGames\SupremeCommander

open game.prefs in notepad and scroll down and change default resolution to your native resolution mine is 1920,1080,60' and save.

hope this helps I was searching for hours on end for a fix, updating drivers, installing directx9 ect with no results

Launch and Destroy!

Are you two sure your computers are up to it, as the op showed sometimes it can be down to old graphic cards.
