Close Supreme Commander 2 exe if open.
01> open the start menu.
(or press super key(windows key) and r simultaneously. Then go step 03)
(or Add your account name in to this “C:\Users\<YourWindowsUserNameHere>\AppData\Local\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander 2\” and paste it to a explore address bar. Then go step 06)

02> type "run" in to the search then press enter.(should not need to wait for results)

03> type "%LOCALAPPDATA%" in to run.



04> look for a folder named "Gas Powered Games" and open it.



05> look for a folder named "Supreme Commander 2" and open it.



06> open "Game.prefs". ( I recommended to open it in notepad ++ [notepad-plus-plus.org] )

07> look for "UnitCap"
I recommended using the in file search box with the parameter "unitcap" to find what line the unit cap is on. Use Ctrl + F to open search box. As the line number the unit cap parameter is on changes depending on when the file was made, your other settings and progress thought the game.
The search function and file are character sensitive so when making changes or searching you need to the same string(set) of character as mentioned in the “” or the search function or game may not find what they are looking for.



08> change "UnitCap = '500', " to your new unit cap. For example "UnitCap = '1000', ".
09> save and close the file.

10> open the game to see if it worked

Please note: The AI does *not* make use of the increased unit cap as it is hard programmed to 500 units.

Please note: Increasing the unit cap above 1000 will result in the game auto-forcing the cap back to 500 on launch.

Please note: This only works for skirmish, and multiplayer. The campaign is scripted you cannot change the unit cap without rewriting the campaign.

Please note: If you wish to use a modified unit cap in a multiplayer skirmish, only the host needs to change their unit cap as all other players who take part in that game will have their unit cap change to match the hosts unit cap.

Please note: Increasing the unit cap may have a detrimental effect on game performance (Play speed) in long games (45+ minutes). (Speculation: As the game engine of the SupCom 1, AF & 2 only makes use of one CPU core to update unit status and position, so the more units on the map as a whole the longer this takes, thus the slower maximum play speed.)

Side Note: If you wish the game would draw the game at a unlisted resolution, you can try adding that resolution to the “primary_adapter” “states” list in the Game.prefs file. Just follow the same formatting as the other entries on the list. Then launch the game and see if the resolution you just added is in the appropriate dropdown in the game settings.
