** Supreme Commander 2 ** Patch V1.11

Gas Powered Games has released a new patch for  Supreme Commander 2

The new update ”addresses a number of issues with the game’s AI, including adding several new AI difficulty levels; a number of ease-of-use features in multiplayer game lobbies; and, a veritable HOST of AI and game play tweaks as well as specific unit behavior changes.”

New Features
* New AI categories are now available via the Skirmish or Multi-player lobby menu:
- Air: Focuses on Air units.
- Land: Focuses on Land units.
- Rush: Focuses on large amounts of land units and less on defense.
- Balanced: Balanced between Land and Air.
- Naval: Focuses on Naval units.
- Turtle: Focuses on defenses and Experimental.
- Random: Chooses one of the above based on various factors.
* Added the Steam avatar for each player on the multiplayer summary screen: This will let players click on the avatar image and access that player’s Steam profile. From there, they can add that player to their friends list if they’ve had a good match
* Added Mic Icons display in game when bringing up the in game score menu (F2) allowing players to mute individual players

Improvements
* Added anti-cheating code that will detect modified lua files and prevent playing with unmodified users. This also prevents achievement and leaderboard updates. Still permits playing with others who have identically modified their games.
* Disconnections in Ranked: The game now tracks the number of disconnects a player has during Ranked 1v1 matches. If you exceed a certain percentage of disconnects to games played, they will count as losses instead of wins.

There are also other ways to do this on the Instructables website, but this guide will show you the one that I believe works best.
