![]() Some setups simply don't support the legacy code, in which case switching to Software rendering should solve your problem. This is again because the age of the game means specific DX7 compatible instructions need to be supported by your GPU. Ideally, the default DirectX rendering option should be used, but not all modern machines support it. The 2nd issue relates to your GPU, that in combination with the drivers/OS used can make a big difference in successfully getting the game working. Needed because SC4 was made before Multi-core CPUs were a thing and the code simply wasn't designed to work with them. You can solve this with a simple command in "Set launch options" within the Steam library:Īdding this will tell Windows to only use a single CPU core, which eliminates the most common cause of instability. The 2 most common issues are trying to run the game on a multicore machine (so pretty much any modern machine). But, take the time and you'll be rewarded with a stable experience. As is often the case when playing older games on newer systems, a little work is sometimes needed to get games running. If you want to chuck a game in a system and play, you'll be wanting a console, PCs are different. Lots of people seem to be under the false pretence that SC4 is somehow buggy and unstable, this couldn't be further from reality. There are literally no differences in terms of the game experience between this and any other Digital or (patched) Disk-Based release. ![]() ![]() exe has only been modifed such that the two patches for the CD version are incorporated, the on-disk DRM is removed, then Steam's own DRM is added. ![]()
