Sc-4 Deluxe playing issues

[JamesSC 3]

Hello everyone,

I got a hand on Sc-4 and been trying to play that. Went through some stuff on this forum and gained from the expertise. Decided to buy SC-4 Deluxe from origin and did that. Some quick questions : - 

1. After download from origin, the game installed it self and if working. EA advised i store a copy of downloaded file somewhere as back up but i cant locate the file. Anyone with some experience with origin please shed some light as to how can i do that.

2. While playing the game is too slow in scrolling placing buildings like i am playing on a petinium whereas my lap top is i3, 1gb radeon and 4 gb ram. Just 2 months old. Any idea why this is happening and what to do ?

3. I have exe version 1.1.631.0. Do i need an update ? Can i download and play NAM ?

Would really appreciate your replies !

 

Thanks

1) I have no experience with that, sorry...

2) I think this is an peformance issue. Try to lower the graphics settings to make your game run faster, especailly turning shadows off helps a great deal!

3) Because you've downloaded it from Origin, you should have version 1.1.641.0, which means this is a fully updated game. You can install the NAM 31.2 without any problem

You also need to set the single threading option because this game is decidedly single threaded.  Add <space>-CPUcount:1 to your target command line after the closing quote.

 

<space> means hit the space bar once.

thanks for your replies guys.

Anyone with experience with origin for that part of the question ?

Since you have an origin account, why not just ask them?
