I've created a PowerShell script to count the amount of game time recorded in your FAForever replays. (Personne#4604) discovered that it didn't work for earlier formats of replays and that has been fixed up.
I'm using PowerShell 7.1.2 but I've successfully tested this in PowerShell 5.1
$replays = Get-ChildItem C:\ProgramData\FAForever\replays\*.fafreplay | Sort-Object LastWriteTime -Descending #$unixtime = (Get-Date 1/1/1970).AddHours((Get-TimeZone).BaseUtcOffset.TotalHours) #The replays incorrectly use your local time zone so I don't bother adjusting for it $unixtime = (Get-Date 1/1/1970) $playtime =0 foreach ($r in $replays) { Remove-Variable j -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue $j = (Get-Content $r.FullName)[0] | ConvertFrom-Json if ($j.launched_at -gt 0) { $playtime += (New-TimeSpan ($unixtime.AddSeconds($j.launched_at)) ($unixtime.AddSeconds($j.game_end))).TotalSeconds } else { $playtime += (New-TimeSpace ($unixtime.AddSeconds($j.game_time)) ($unixtime.AddSeconds($j.game_end))).TotalSeconds } } $playhours = [Math]::Floor($playtime/60/60) $playminutes = [Math]::Floor( (($playtime/60/60) - $playhours) * 60) Write-Output "You've played for $($playhours) $(if ($playhours -ne 1) {"hours"} else {"hour"}) and $(if ($playminutes -ne 1) {"$($playminutes) minutes"} else {"$($playminutes) minute"}) in $($replays.count) replay$(if ($replays.count -ne 1) {"s"})."
NVIDIA have released a patch (466.11) to fix the stuttering issues experienced in Supreme Commander:
[Supreme Commander/Supreme Commander 2]: The games experience low FPS. [3231218/3230880] http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/466.11/466.11-win10-win8-win7-release-notes.pdf

After you update to the 466.11 driver you should be able to disable the Nvidia fix mod and re-enable the NVIDIA Display Container LS service if you also disabled that service during your troubleshooting.

We would love to hear from you in this thread if this fixes the problem for you!
However, in my experience I still encounter some issues. I have narrowed it down to my dual monitor setup. Note, I do not play SupCom dual screened but rather I just have my desktop/discord on the second monitor. If I pull the monitor cable out of my second monitor during the game the stuttering disappears. I'd like to hear from other people with multiple monitors to see if they experience similar issues. The easiest way to notice it is to zoom in and out quick and repetitively whilst swinging your mouse cursor rapidly left and right with air units on screen.

Plus you'll burn energy taking out LABs and not have it ready for when their ACU rolls into town...
I agree that why these changes are made should be included in the announcements about it. That's excellent information to have.
But if you want to contribute your best method is to join the balance team.
One good thing about the unit cap is that you can't spam t1 only you need to upgrade to t2, t3, experimentals and other structures etc.
I saw the LAB icon change discussed / suggested on the forum. Better late than never for the shard as well.
Petricpwnz is balance councillor at the moment. If you want to contribute you now know how.
There's a bit of sarcasm above. I get it, you're frustrated, but hopefully now that is out of your system and you can focus on being positive to deal with.
I've done some more testing and this solved multi-monitor issues in a few games including SupCom, Rocket League.
@xsdna I have been going back and forth with nvidia since I made this post. They may have come up with something that seems to alleviate the issue.
My main monitor was set to perform scaling on my GPU and my second was set to do it on the Display itself. I have checked the "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs" setting and set the second monitor to scale on the GPU. It appears to have solved the issue. I still get a slightly larger frame drop zooming in/out and moving the mouse frantically - but we're talking a 10 fps drop not a 100+ one.
Can you do the same and confirm this? The setting is in the NVIDIA Control Panel under Display, Adjust desktop size and position and then the scaling tab for all of your monitors.
@xsdna Yeah that's the exact issue I face. I'm running GTX 1080 so it seems this problem is experienced over a few different generations of cards as well.
Thoughts? It would make the game less interesting. Map control is important but if that's all that is important it changes the game and drastically too. It's essentially simplifying the game. We would move on to another game if simplicity is what we wanted.
