Nov 19 2020 - 22:11:51
We're aware of a bug where the Launcher warns about the incorrect .exe location for the empireearth2:// and empireearth2aos:// protocols after update 158000. It will be fixed in the next update.

We're aware of a bug where CTRL+F7 and CTRL+F8 hotkeys have an inverted behaviour (Faster/Slower instead of Slower/Faster Playback Fast-Forward Speed). This will be fixed in the next update.

People are often asking me: why some updates have a big file to download. The answer is: some updates are bigger, to make the other ones possibly smaller. The file that contains UP1.5 audio is recently often updated, but it won't always be this way.

I issued a fix for the slow opening of the "View Recording" screen. All users who are connected to the Internet should get it thanks to the KeepAlive thread in the Launcher (which modifies a specified game memory address on game start, to skip one function in game process).

We're aware of an issue where players could see a warning about the outdated installer version (157021) when started the newest UP1.5 157039 installer. This is because I accidentally opened a backup project file instead of the normal one. It is fixed now. Files inside were fine.

We have two (2) MonaNAT® Servers in United States (Las Vegas) now. The old one will expire on October 7th. It's because the provider is removing all OpenVZ nodes and asked for migration. Status: https://www.ee2.eu/status/#multiplayerload

The #🏀multiplayer-lobby channel on Discord did not show the correct number of players online in topic. It's because 29.05.2020 @Discord changed rate limits to: "2 updates per 10 minutes".
Our Bot has been updated, but the list of players will be updated with 5-8 mins delay :(

Windows 10 ver. 2004 (build 19041) has just been released.
Unofficial Patch 1.5 is compatible with this version of Windows since update 157035 (released in April 2020). Please read the following article to learn how to enable a fix for "max. ~64 FPS" bug: https://www.ee2.eu/help/#64fpsbug

Unfortunately, there will be no Minor Update in May 2020. It's because (for now) there are only 2 changes, and I have to test few other things. So 157036 is delayed to June 2020. Upcoming fixes are described here:

It seems like I accidentally forced the installation of 157035 even for users with 157034 (instead of 157023 and older, as planned). Fixed now. For my surprise, it didn't cause any problems with stability: https://www.ee2.eu/statistics/?period=7d#launchstats (30 April, the number of launches isn't lower).
Apr 29 2020 - 06:04:54
Due to increasing fragmentation of UP1.5 versions and users who are not aware about new updates (notifications weren't that good back then), we decided to force installation of the newest version for users with 157023 and older ( https://www.ee2.eu/patch/changes/#157023 ). Also improves security.

Server OS re-install completed! EE2.eu is now running on Ubuntu Server 20.04. The Server might be restarted several more times today (in case something requires fixing). For now it seems like the Multiplayer Lobby integration with Discord doesn't work.
Apr 27 2020 - 03:04:26
Today (27.04.2020) between 04:30 CET to 09:00 CET all EE2.eu services will be unavailable, due to a scheduled OS upgrade to Ubuntu Server 20.04.
