Check your installed programs: just press Win-Key+R and input "appwiz.cpl" + ENTER.

Check:

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable
  • Microsoft XNA Framework


The currently requirements are:


Summary: any usual Windows PC

  • Intel Core Processor (not to old)
  • 512mb RAM
  • Windows (tm): Windows XP up to Windows 8.1 (if you have problems, just see Problem#Windows problem)
  • DirectX 9-compatible video card with Pixel Shader 2.0+ and Vertex Shader 1.1+ support
  • Desktop resolution of at least 1024x768 (1280x768 or higher is strongly recommended)
  • DirectX 9 or greater

Due to other programs also use the next parts the game requires (e.g. Zone Alarm free: Microsoft .NET Redistributable, Microsoft VC++ Redistributable (x86) http://www.windowsuninstaller.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=743#p1158) some might be already installed on your PC. This might be the reason why some persons can ran Supremacy without great installing all the requirements, and others have to install all the stuff.


Many reports are on missing XNA. Just mention this requirement:

Without it, the game isn't able to load the 3d models that you can see in the shipyard, resulting in crashes.
