Did you know: The newest UP1.5 Minor Update (157009) has a new option for players who suffer epileptic seizures disorder? It can be enabled by UP1.5 Settings and it removes some in-game effects to minimize the risk.

On November 15, Ukraine's air defense forces shot down 73 out of more than 90 enemy cruise missiles:

It proves how well-balanced the Missile Defense System in Empire Earth II 1.5 is. The interception ratio is nearly the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHFgbGtheMI
Unofficial Patch 1.5.9 will be released to all users as version 159001. It's because we still detected some small issues in the BETA version for donators. Special thanks for help in testing to users Calsh03, BlackBaroness and Hoss.
The pseudo moderator of the "empireearth" subreddit is a hypocritic creature that censored & banned the UP1.5 developer for a joke on our blog: "Contrastry to Greta, Mona has the actual abilities to reduce the CO2 emission...": https://www.reddit.com/r/empireearth2/comments/yz3khm/reasons_why_this_subreddit_was_created/
I have over 2TB of recorded EE2 Gameplay videos, but I was waiting for the fiber Internet connection that was supposed to be available this year. And it's still not -.- This is why the YouTube channel has not much of new content.
More information & screenshots from Unofficial Patch 1.5.9 are now available on: http://EE2.eu/BLOG/020-unofficial-patch-159
The change log of UP 1.5.9 is currently only available in the forum topic: https://forum.ee2.eu/viewtopic.php?p=27593#p27593
Unofficial Patch 1.5.9 has been released! It's currently available as BETA for players who donated.
It's because we need to change the server provider this month, and extra funds are very needed. Therefore players who support our services can enjoy the big update faster!
The Next Big Thing Is Coming Soon.
The Halloween sounds pack will be enabled on 30th of October, 00:00 CET - for Multiplayer & Singleplayer users! It changes some of in-game sounds to match the event. Players who dislike it can disable it with the same command as explained here: https://ee2.eu/t5032
Intel's 12th Gen processors have an issue where the text is not displaying in Empire Earth II. It's because their drivers use D3D9on12 to support old games. I reported this issue here: https://github.com/microsoft/D3D9On12/issues/57
Please consider not buying new laptops with Intel GPU until it's fixed.
The incoming UP1.5 update (158027) focuses on the borderless windowed mode improvements. It will contain dozens of fixes that bring the best possible multi-display experience! Examples: V-Sync enabled by default, no game/audio pause when the window loses focus, correct positions.
Does anybody still think that the sanctions on Russian Federation which EE2.eu issued on 22th February 2022 was an ill-considered / bad decision? https://forum.ee2.eu/viewtopic.php?t=5571
People should stop asking me about my gender. Why the hell am I gonna waste my time and give a press release about whether or not I have a pen*s? My fans don't care and neither do I.
A Hotfix Update has been released: https://www.ee2.eu/patch/changes/#158026
Sorry for the inconvenience. There was some miss-click with miss-typo in the long assembly code, in some older function that wasn't even modified this time. It's a miracle that it didn't cause a crash, just a bug...

The Multiplayer Rating System Log website has been updated to list AI players which were present in game (with their difficulty level): https://www.ee2.eu/multiplayer/rating/?skirmish=1&tournamnt=1&unrated=1&sorted=1&days=3
In March 2019 the main EE2.eu Server transferred ~1.1TiB of data (in total). That's the highest number in history of EE2.eu. It's probably because of 2 Minor Updates and the installer size growth, but still nice to see it's being used.

I convoke a council of Ministers of all Departments due to upcoming Minor Update changes. Short discussion and few votings on 13th of March 2019.
The EE2.eu SSL certificates expired this morning and users could see incorrect certificates error when tried to visit our website. It's because for some reasons my auto-update script lost execute permissions. Everything should be fine now.
Another cute cats from player Rastislav (posted on Facebook):
Want to share your pets with the community? Tweet to me! Please make sure that EE2 screen is visible.
Due to several speculations regarding to the last uploaded photo, I'd like to inform that this photo wasn't taken by me. I personally don't smoke, but it's also none of people business if someone smokes or not. As long as they play EE2 their lifestyle is healthy.
Behind every successful man is a woman who is getting ahead of him! Happy Women’s Day!

So some idiot called "Antoniozbx" from Mexico, just insulted me on the Chat by saying: "you are mining bitcoins". He suggest that the UP1.5 is used for "hacking" and user's GPUs are used to monetize. If someone else believes in this shit, then remove the patch and stop using it.

During the last days, the "Multiplayer Rating System Log" website has been updated. New features:
- Direct link to the report (click on the clipboard emoji)
- Search engine (works for players, game types, etc.)
- Listing game Observers in the log (info collected since 20.02.2019)
[1/2] I disabled the Multiplayer Lobby logging-in "Cancel" button, due to detected bug where game results were not sent to the Server when an user accidentally clicked the cancel button too quick during the logging-in process.
[2/2] This fix uses the Launcher's Keep-Alive thread which changes values in game process memory, so it's already available for all Multiplayer users (no additional update required).
The new Rating System is already available on the EE2.eu Multiplayer Lobby. More information: https://forum.ee2.eu/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=5190
The Rating System maintenance is in progress. I expect it to be finished within next 4 hours. Until then, the Multiplayer Lobby will be offline.
Rating System Update starts soon. I will be live streaming the process. Please visit the Support Chat in UP1.5 Launcher for the link.
