IMPORTANT: The Multiplayer Lobby Peerchat Server TCP port has been temporary replaced from the default IRC port 6667 to 28955. It's to test if random "ping timeout" disconnects still occur. The UP1.5 Launcher will automatically overwrite this port in game process on game start.

I'm aware of the random Multiplayer Lobby disconnects that occur since 3rd of October 2019 (after the Server migration). It seems to be Ubuntu 18.04's systemd-resolve related. Today I applied a new workaround. Hopefully it will solve the problem... https://askubuntu.com/questions/1058750/new-alert-keeps-showing-up-server-returned-error-nxdomain-mitigating-potential

We managed to "collect" 50 users on the new Discord, within just 4 days! It's only 20 less than before, where we "collected" users for over 10 months! Thanks to everyone for the support and for the incredible activity during the last days.

Dear Discord users! The owner of the old EE2 Discord has kicked me out, causing integrations with EE2.eu / lobby to stop working due to lack of API/webhooks permissions. Setting it back took 6 hours of work. Please join a new Server using: https://www.ee2.eu/discord/

I don't know if it's not placebo, but for me it feels like Minor Update 157024 resolved lags in game completely (those little 0.5sec+ freezes, not the low FPS issue). Maybe increasing the maximum sound memory from <5MB to 100MB really was the key? What are your thoughts about it?

The "Cycle Time of Day" option has a minimal impact on the game "freeze" during time switching. The real "lag" is caused by Autosaves which are done at exactly the same time (by default every 5 minutes). It's just a coexistence of those two features that makes user think negative

All graphics settings in EE2 should be set to highest possible, except Shadow Detail (Medium), and Lighting Detail (Low). EE2 is a CPU-intensive game, and GPU usage is usually low. By using lower settings, we get an effect opposite to the intended, because CPU gets more load.

EE2.eu Server migration completed. The Server IP address has changed, it might be needed to clear the DNS cache (in case you can't access EE2eu). CMD -> "ipconfig /flushdns".

EE2.eu Server Migration will be done today (03.10.2019) between 5:00-7:00 CET. The domain address will change, but I'll try to make this process without noticeable downtime.

Today we experienced problems with: Multiplayer Services, Minor Update, Launcher News module (and probably more), caused by a faulty Linux update: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libidn2/+bug/1843507
It has been resolved, and everything should be running correctly now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Looks like the Language Changer was accidentally removed from the Server on 4th of August 2019... Around 400-600 people tried to download it and failed. The first report about this issue came 14 days later... Why are people so lazy to inform me about issues? I don't bite.

I'm aware that the old forummotion forum sent the "the trending topics" newsletters to previously registered users. This was not intentional and I already disabled it to prevent such situations in the future. The old forum is only kept to update old users login/pass on new forum.
