For those who don't like / are tired of Christmas music in game, here is a way how to permanently disable it: http://www.ee2.eu/help#musicplayer
The next time you launch EE2 it might take longer than usual (around 25 seconds), because the CHRISTMAS EXPANSION is being enabled :)
[1/2] Soon Christmas :) I think I'll enable some christmas features for EE2 on 19th of December
[2/2] I hope it's not too early... Especially because in shopping malls, christmas trees & decorations are already present since November.
I'd like to remind that support for version 1.5.4 will be dropped on 12.12.2015, according to: http://forum.ee2.eu/viewtopic?start=180&t=1723&topic_name#20028 Expect config changes
Everyone who has the lagg problem on AMD graphics cards on Win10 - please contact us by the support chat. We're testing something.
The server didn't work for for like 30 minutes :/ Those problems are are not related to the patch nor my scripts, but the provider :(
Remember: Always read UP1.5 Launcher warnings. It will help you to fix most of problems, without googling :)
http://www.ee2.eu/media has been updated. Watch the best of Empire Earth 2 screenshots!
Happy December :) I have got some attractions planned for this month, especially on Christmas days. So stay tuned!
The big surprise is a new EE2.EU website! Check it out: http://www.ee2.eu/
We're preparing the big surprise for EE2 players. It will be something really amazing. Can't wait to release it, but I have to be patient.
A new Multiplayer lobby improvement: When you're in a rated game, you can see how many points you will win or lose for the current game.
Dr.MonaLisa has confirmed that the minor update 155001 is developed. A critical balance bug will be fixed, and a new launcher feature added.
From now on, only 1 room will be available on Multiplayer Lobby. Specified info can be available in the host title anyway.
Files migration (from the temporal server) completed. Everything should now work like before 10th of November :)
The new lobby (multiplayer server) is back! The download and the support chat (www) are still on the "temp" server. It will be fixed later.
The work on UP1.5 is not done. There will be a new update in February which is partially ready. Unfortunately either Covid (or the vaccine while I was already infected) has attacked my neurology system, so I was sleeping for a few weeks, almost not staying awake.
Happy New Year 2022!
The New Year's Eve audio theme has been enabled for Unofficial Patch 1.5 users.
This year, Empire Earth II with Unofficial Patch 1.5 (1.5.8.021) will give you the best Christmas atmosphere. An updated Christmas Expansion will be activated on 19th of December, 15:00 CET.
Minor Update 158021 for Unofficial Patch 1.5 has been released! Changes: https://ee2.eu/patch/changes/#158021
Multiplayer Fair/Random Teams Generator has been updated! Read more: https://forum.ee2.eu/viewtopic.php?p=26983#p26983
GLOBAL WARNING: Game Freezes after ALT+TAB. The problem has been investigated. The fix is already available in UP1.5, but needs to be manually enabled. Please read: https://forum.ee2.eu/viewtopic.php?p=26885#p26885
Minor Update 158019 for Unofficial Patch 1.5 has been released! Changes: https://ee2.eu/patch/changes/#158019
I created a new charity software for people with disabilities: "Mouse ClickLock For Games". It's available on GitHub: https://github.com/HerMajestyDrMona/MouseClickLockForGames
It works in a similar way as ClickLock on Windows, but also supports old games where the normal ClickLock fails to work.
Check out Dr.MonaLisa's new program: "Windows 11 Drag & Drop to the Taskbar (Partial Fix)" on GitHub: https://github.com/HerMajestyDrMona/Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarPartialFix
[2/2] The positive side of this change is that future minor updates will be installing much faster than used to, because it won't check all updated files since ver. 1.5.4 (including over 1000 updated models / textures during all these years). I believe it's for the greater good.
[1/2] Due to the recent problems with texture files getting blocked by Windows Defender in the Minor Update installer - I have decided to make a "fresh start". It means that until ver. 158018 the full UP1.5 installer will be downloaded by the Minor Updater.
The stupid Windows Defender is now detecting some of the updated winter textures as a Trojan in the Minor Updater... I'm fixing it by re-saving texture files and re-releasing minor update files. It's time consuming, but whatever...

Poll Results: Do you like the new ambient sounds in UP1.5? https://ee2.eu/blog/019-poll-results-do-you-like-the-new-ambient-sounds.php
Unofficial Patch 1.5 development was not paused. Loew is working on Winter textures for UP1.5 buildings, and I'm being annoying requesting edits in them. There will be a lot of files to update. Besides that I have some Launcher / GameHelper fixes ready. So let's be patient :)
The old server will be back today evening. The Multiplayer (lobby) and the other UP1.5 features will be working again.
RT @willysarcasmos: @EE2News How can I change the language of Art of Supremacy? EE2 is ok but the expansion didn't change into Spanish afte…
I was asked 9 times "why multiplayer doesn't work". It's really disappointing, that people don't read EE2News, which is integrated in 1.5.
Explanation what happened, and why the server doesn't work: https://evobilling.com/announcements.php?id=83
Ok, patch downloading should be now possible, but all other patch features not (the support chat and the lobby won't work for the next ~48h)
We're experiencing server issues, caused by the provider. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
I disabled "Talking rooms" on the lobby, because they were the reason of crashes after clicking on the room selection button.
The lobby didn't work correctly for the last ~2 hours. The game was crashing on selecting a room. It's fine now.
Around 4:20 CET ee2.eu (UP1.5 downloading, launcher, etc.) were unavailable due to server maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Unofficial Version 1.5 availability and www server migration completed. I didn't have to disable services, so the game worked all the time.
