[Resolved] I can't find the game.prefs file in the given folder location.

[APEx]

I checked "appdata/local/gas powered games/supreme commander 2" but there are neighter hidden nor otherwise files. No launch commands seem to work eighter. As you might have imagined, can't play the game. What else can I try?

Have you tried rienstalling the game.

If the game does not launch at all, the prefs file has prob not been created in the first place.
First off whenever there are issues like this, please list your specs so we can rule anything obvious out.

From the faq,

• If running with Windows XP update to Windows Service Pack 3.

• Update to the latest version of DirectX 9. NOTE: Having an updated version of DirectX 10, 11, Vista, or Win7 DOES NOT necessarily mean that your DirectX 9 is also up to date.
*must re-point this out as people often dismiss this. Make sure it is.

• Ensure that anti-virus and anti-malware is set to allow Supreme Commander 2 and Steam to run with full privileges.

• Validate the Integrity of your Game Cache. Select the Game inside of Steam and select properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache. This will ensure all game files match the latest version available on Steam

•If you are using Zone alarm Security, turn it off or discontinue using it, as it will regardless of what settings you use it will mess with the game.


•Try Safemode.-

Right clicking on Supreme Commander 2 in the Steam Library.
Select "Properties".
Select "Set Launch Options" on the General tab.
Type in "/safemode" (without the quotes).
Start Supreme Commander normally.
Adjust desired settings, and exit SupCom2.
Remove the above launch option before you start again.

I didn't reinstall the game and did try all Ceejay suggested, but all it took was selecting windows 8 on compatibility tab from properties.( SupremeCommander2.exe properties) It is resolved now. Thank you anyways.
