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.
RT @calsch03: @EE2News your support for this game is amazing, keep doing what your doing

Due to bad server scripts, yesterday (20.09.2015), I didn't receive some of crash reports from versions < 154006. Fixed now.
Please note that if you're updating from ver. 1.5.4+ you can select the second installation version in the installer. It will take less time
1.5.4.006 has status: IMPORTANT. It means that all players who play Multiplayer should update their game. Otherwise it will give errors.
Minor update 154006 has been released. Read: http://www.ee2.eu/#/t1723p180-ee2-ee2x-empire-earth-ii-unofficial-patch-1-5-2015#20021 for changes list
1.5.4.006 installers release 20.09.2015 between ~04:15-04:20 CET. All existing downloads might get halted or unsuccessfully downloaded.
1.5.4.006 will detect if your game crashed / couldn't start, and inform you about possible solutions the next time you start the Launcher.
Problem with Avast detected and will be fixed with 1.5.4.006 installers. 1.5.4.006 will also rebalance some units (Snipers are OP in MP).
Seems like Avast gives a false positive on 1.5.4.005 installer... However it doesn't detect any of extracted files after installation...
A new problematic program has been added to the Solution 1 in the Maximization Helper. It should fix maximize problems on Lenovo Thinkpad.
