Doesn't run on ATI
by Bob on Sunday March 13th 2011, 16:44
On ATI the game will not run, instead it just shows a dialog box:
Unable to start.
Hardware based instancing required.
Please ensure system has current video drivers.
It's probably related to one of these messages on the console:
fixme:d3d:swapchain_init Add OpenGL context recreation support to context_validate_onscreen_formats
fixme:d3d:debug_d3dformat Unrecognized 0x54534e49 (as fourcc: INST) WINED3DFORMAT!

Supreme Commander 2 not playable.

Hello there.
I've installed Supreme Commander 2, DirectX9 and disabled the Library.
The game starts just fine but whenever I start a Game, let it be Skirmish or Campaign, the game crashes.
I don't get a lot of interesting console output. Just:
fixme:d3d:debug_d3dformat Unrecognized 1280070990 (as fourcc: NULL) WINED3DFORMAT!
fixme:d3d:getFormatDescEntry Can't find format unrecognized(1280070990) in the format lookup table

More weird rendering issues

So I just played my first naval combat mission, and the water is really jacked up. This is really distracting because it flickers (like a 100 times larger version of the NVIDIA artifacts bug).
Hopefully these illustrate the problem enough, and that it's another config issue that I missed in the setup. I've tried turning the water to high, medium, and low, I've messed with the anistropic filtering settings and I'm still having issues.
Weird rendering issues

Yesterday I installed the game and then had to run the audio fix and the NVIDIA artifacts fix to get it to work properly, then it ran just fine. I then went through the first two levels of the tutorial.
Today, I load up the game and the UI and everything works just fine, but when it gets into the game the screen is completely black... except the UI:
I have rerun the video fixes and nothing seems to be fixing it... the options for the game are identical to what they were yesterday (everything on high, 2x antialiasing).
