A few questions...

I decided to buy Supreme Commander 2 last week after buying a new machine and then downloading the DLC to go with it.
Since then I have been playing 2v2's and 1v1's with my mates who are fairly new to SupCom 2 with us only having SupCom 1 experience. I also have been playing Ranked matches.
1. When playing Ranked matches I usually wait a long time to find a match. Does it matter if I click DLC on or not? Also is it affected with me living in Australia?
2. Played a Ranked Match this morning and was going really well with a decent matchup. Got the upper hand with my Weedoboths(I think thats how you spell them) and destroyed his base, everything except his ACU. I then started getting the Desync error come up every few seconds and ultimately had to quit and me losing rating. Why the error do you think? Is it common?
3. I love this game and with the increase waiting time for Ranked matches, how do I go about playing more games against other players?
These are the only questions I have at the moment. I love the amount of information in these forums for a new player like myself. Cheers in advance.|||DLC will mean you only get matched against those who also have DLC. Untick it and you'll play against those without (and/or those who turned it off).
Being in Australia means you'll have to be up at the early hours to play at peak times (trust me, I live near Newcastle). I've never played ranked Sup2, and am only going off experience with Sup1. So take my advice with a grain of salt.
The desync means that the each computer's interpretation of what the game should look like differs. Since there's no host or server, there's no authority to say who is right and who is wrong. When that happens, the game really should be abandoned but by some stroke of genius still counts as a valid game. I suggest you just go get a coffee and and a snack - hopefully your opponent hasn't done the same and decided to give up.|||Cheers for the speedy reply. Would more players have the DLC?
I just thought it was a bit suss that it started happening just as I destroyed his base. Maybe I am just paranoid.|||Scytale
