I don't believe it's antivirus or firewall related. I'm on windows 10, have gone into virus and threat protection settings, and added the following folders to the exclusions: Supreme commander game (steam apps, common, supreme commander) FAF client (program files, FAF Client) and even my local save files (user, app data, local, gas powered games, scfa) I have also gone into firewall and network protection settings and allowed FAF through on both private and public settings. I've deleted and reinstalled both SC:FA and FAF. Why the heck is this happening!?

Hi guys, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I had tried 'windowed' and 3 numbers separated by commas before, but this was my last attempt (I saw the resolutions for primary_adapter higher up and it had two similar lines for each resolution). I really appreciate that strategic icon scale tip and will give it a go. Thank you. I found the issue. For some reason on the compatability tab of the sc fa properties it was set to run in compatibility mode for windows 7 and run in 640x480 screen resolution was checked. I have no idea why, I have never opened the properties for the game before. This is now resolved.
