I see in statistics, that a lot of people have UPnP enabled. It will really help to solve hosting/joining problems on Multiplayer :)
Okay, Universal Plug and Play update (aka. 155004) has been released. Now I can rest in peace.
With 1.5.5 updates I mostly improve the new multiplayer lobby. So please don't be disappointed to not see any changes in Singleplayer mode.
If EE2.eu or the Multiplayer Lobby still doesn't work for you, please reboot your router and/or clean DNS cache.
We've moved to a new server. EE2.eu works fast again :)
We're moving to a new server soon. The EE2.eu will be disabled for some minutes, and the Multiplayer Lobby will be restarted.
EE2.eu works now, but it's still laggy. The uPnP update will be for sure delayed because of those problems.
Update: Technicians are currently working on rectifying this issue. Hopefully will not be much longer before we are online once again.
EE2.eu - Connectivity Issue. A ticket has been raised with our provider on this issue. It will hopefully be sorted soon.
A funny video I found today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2EY69TBuGo
Another incoming improvement for the Multiplayer Lobby: Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support, so you won't need to forward ports manually.
Minor update 155003 has been released. Unfortunately it's incompatible with previous versions :( I tried to make it compatible, but resigned
[1/2] I'm preparing a little update (155003). It will be compatible with 155001+, so no worries for the Multiplayer community
[2/2] The launcher will have the abity to add Windows Firewall rules, so it should help to fix some of Multiplayer "can't join" problems.
Today around 12:00 - 16:30 CET, we had some php problems, that's why EE2.eu didn't work. It should be fine now.

Since 16.10.2015 the new Multiplayer Lobby was used to play over 1507 games :)
Happy New Year 2016!
An optional minor update 155002 has been released. Only rare launcher crashes were fixed, and some leaderboard improvements on Multiplayer.
Merry Christmas :)
The MP server has been restarted to apply the charset functions update. It should improve the stability (prevent from random crashes).

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!

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.
