"Only" 25 crashes today. For comparing it was 96 on 2nd Feb, and 76 on 1st Feb. So seems like the last minor update helped a lot!
Seems like the last minor update fixed all known crashes. In the statistics I can see that some players are still... https://www.facebook.com/eearth2/posts/856817941027501
I'll release a minor update 153003 in few minutes. NOBODY HAS RIGHTS TO CRASH after this update! Understood?
Unfortunately I have to announce another minor update, to fix those bird crashes :( Also the TBM launchers are still crashing sometimes.
That's funny, but I found what causes 00210206h crashes (still)...Birds. For some reasons when they get killed - game crashes. Any idea why?

I prepared fixes for Unhandled Exception game crashes Flags 00210206h and 00210246h. They'll be available as minor update 153002 on weekend.
Empire Earth II / Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy works fine with Windows 10 (Build 9926) on Unofficial Version 1.5. Without UP1.5 NOT
Due to several reports about adfly functionality, I decided to add a direct download link in the UP1.5 download topic, for ppl with problems
Okay, another game crash detected. Caused of course by Missile Launchers :) Since AI uses them, I'll be searching for a good fix :-)
Some Antivirus are deleting file: GameRanger.dll after last GameRanger's update, and it's impossible to start EE2. It's not 1.5's fault.
Big thanks to DomDom (the Minister of the Department of Mods) - he found the critical AI bug, and thanks to him I was able to fix it.
Everything is ready. Just start game - it will ask you to minor update. Again sorry for inconvenience.
Okay, prepared a FIX. It will also solve rare UFO crashes, but the UFO "mother spaceship" will be not longer able to attack.
The Department of Mods has detected a bug that stops AI from building units/buildings on small islands maps. We're working on a minor update
If you experienced any game crash with 1.5.3 - please report it to me. It would be nice if you remember when exactly it happened, etc.

How sad. Some ignorant called "QWEEDDYZ" just wrote that Unofficial Patch 1.5 " is adware", "malicious" and other negative things. You can read the discussion here: https://www.gog.com/forum/empire_earth_series/empire_earth_2_windows_881_fix_and_empire_earth_ii_unofficial_patch_14/post48 And what is your opinion about it? A feedback would be very appreciated in that Gog topic.
DirectX 9 redist are installing with every update of UP1.5, because I'm following the official docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dxtecharts/directx-setup-for-game-developers#installation-of-directx-by-the-games-installer "installation process should install the DirectX redistributable components during every single installation without allowing users to opt-out of it..."

I'm aware of a bug where in lower epochs it's impossible to target ships that are moving, especially when playing with the slow game speed. It's caused by: https://forum.ee2.eu/viewtopic.php?p=26690#p26690

The UP1.5.8.016 installers have been reuploaded in order to fix a "decompression error" for certain MP3 files. This was caused by the installer background music and music files update in the installer. This problem did not occur on my computers during tests, but seemed to happen.
