Can you use these cheats in multiplayer?
Cheats only work in a multiplayer or skirmish game when the host sets the cheats option to On at the setup screen, so every player in that game knows they are on. Cyberly adds that Nodamage makes the enemy's units invulnerable as well as yours. Cheat Code Central: Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance cheats for PC
Compatibility notes
Which releases these codes apply to, and where one behaves differently. Each note links to the source that documents it.
- Forged Alliance campaign Cheat Code Central says Forged Alliance needs the debug block above the profile = { line in Game.prefs, and that if it still fails you may have to delete the old profile, saves and Game.prefs and start a new profile, losing your progress. Cheat Code Central: Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance cheats for PC
- Original game GameRevolution and Cyberly add a second line, cheatenable = 1, inside the debug block for the first Supreme Commander, while the Forged Alliance instructions use only enable_debug_facilities = true. GameRevolution: Supreme Commander PC cheats
- Newer Windows, Steam A Steam Community reply says the file now sits in AppData\Local\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander, and that you may also need CheatsEnabled = 'true' in the options section of the file. Steam Community: enabling cheats for Supreme Commander campaign missions
- ai_freebuild and ai_instabuild All three code sources describe ai_freebuild as instant building and ai_instabuild as free building, the opposite of what the names suggest, so try the other one if one does not do what you expect. Cyberly: Supreme Commander cheats and codes for PC
