Supcom2 Update

Updates to Supreme Commander 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:
Fixes and Improvements
Increased lobby timeout to 8 seconds as an experiment, up from 4. This will increase matchmaker leniency, but may result in more shaky connections being permitted into games
Save Game Load fixes. Rare broken save games from v1.23 should load correctly now
Fix for illuminate Quantum Floating units sometimes not leaving wreckage, not firing off their death weapon, and not being able to fire their weapons when built on water
Fix for ACUs not finishing their current project when paused
Fixed UI based economy exploit
Balance
Adjusted vanilla tuning of Loyalists to match DLC.
Adjusted vanilla tuning of Cybran Jump Jets to match DLC.
Adjusted DLC tuning of Illuminate PD to match vanilla
AI
Fix for AI platoons being too timid.
Increased AI Prioritizing of enemy ACUs.
Fix for the AI researching items twice after loading a saved game or starting a game with all research unlocked.
Neural Net platoon fixes to salvo calculations. Should result in more persistent attacks.
AI will attack a non-targeted enemies area if they can't attack anything else

Discuss|||No balance changes |||I made a sadface.|||Save game fix has me confused. Is this v. 1.24? Great, now that HoF will never get filled.
I like the UI economy exploit fix and I feel like that, along with the AI fix, were the main reasons this update was pushed. Wish they'd fix some of the other, lesser bugs while they were at it however. I didn't realize that Illum PD were a bit cheaper till now too. Haha |||They fixed the hacker exploit and the AI timid problem and possible the lobby issue. Those are worth a patch cheer arent they?
Plus Funk, you yourself did say it was mostly well balanced? |||What was the UI exploit anyway? I figure now that it's fixed it can't hurt to tell.|||Probably to get extra RP, or to purchase upgrades without actually having the RP to do so.|||wneubert|||sorian|||So, if lobby disconnects get better, and the hacking now patched... MP may be alive again? |||They fixed the hacking? I thought they fixed the insane mass exploit like cat said. Not the one that ranked players are using to get ridiculous amounts of RP for free.
Also, I believe the exploit only gave you free mass. Still need to get energy the legit way.|||dawumyster|||RPhilMan1|||vax2007|||Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's anyone to report to. Sup2 doesn't use VAC (thank God) so you can't cry to anyone at Steam support. GPG would be the only people capable of doing anything. Since they haven't yet patched it out nor clobbered his profile, I'm going to take an educated guess and say that GPG is sitting on it until they fix it entirely, or haven't worked out a solution.|||duncane|||Nice patch, AI is more aggressive now.
But still, late-game AI seems to mass ~40++ major land experimentals in their base and do nothing with them.
Also the invisible-buildings and invisible-engineers bug against the AI still happens.|||Sorian: +1, as always. The hard AI will probably crush me on 2v2 maps now, if I dont rush...
Balancing: -1, as its absent.|||wneubert|||Nephylim|||I played a couple games now. The first time I won in what seemed an easy victory, but the AI did attack so I wasn't sure what to think. Besides it was barely above normal and 1v1.
The next game though was a FFA with 3AI, custom about midway between normal and hard. OMG, they pounded me into the dirt like I have never seen before. I still can't believe it. If it wasn't the AI, I'd be thinking they cheated. If this was any indication, the AI is back with a vengence.
AI did mass 10 AC-130 near his base, then used them to annihilate me, which is exactly what I like to do:)|||redmoth|||connection issue didnt feel any better this evening.|||Did things work better after the steam update today? (You've got to restart the steam client to update.)|||Didnt really notice much of a difference...
