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.

[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...
Minor Update 158018 for Unofficial Patch 1.5 has been released! Changes: https://ee2.eu/patch/changes/#158018

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.

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.

Top Lobby Players: Mel_C (played for 13.54 hours), Rusian_Empire (10.42 hours), ZiYaD (7.73 hours), TheGrouchDE (7.53 hours), Youssef (7.49)
Today around 19:00 (UTC+2), the Multiplayer Server (new Lobby) will be restarted for a update which will fix games list refreshing problems.
Another little update was applied to the new Lobby. Server Browsing and ping displaying problems should be now fixed.
The newest updates have been applied to the server (today at 10:30 CET). Now I'll be observing for some days how everything works.
Tomorrow there will be another server update, which should fix all common issues.(like NAT not working until re-log, no refreshing, etc.)
I'm currently investigating a problem with saving statistics (updating rating and leaderboards). Please be patient.
The problem with creating new accounts on the Lobby is now fixed. Please re-register if you couldn't log in. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please don't get scared when you see no games on the new Lobby. It needs some days to be installed by all the players :) Please be patient.

Due to bad server scripts, yesterday (20.09.2015), I didn't receive some of crash reports from versions < 154006. Fixed now.
