Optional Minor Update 158004 for Unofficial Patch 1.5 has been released! Changes: https://ee2.eu/patch/changes/#158004
I've reverted PHP to version 7.4. PHP 8.0 seems too unstable now :( There were many errors in the log, without explicit reason. We will attempt to use PHP 8.0 again in few weeks.
PHP has been updated to PHP 8.0 for all EE2.eu modules: https://www.ee2.eu/status/#modulesload There may be minor problems that I'll be trying to fix (as the error.log shows), but for now everything seems to work smoothly.
Optional Minor Update 158003 for Unofficial Patch 1.5 has been released! Changes: https://ee2.eu/patch/changes/#158003

Optional Minor Update 158002 for Unofficial Patch 1.5 has been released! Changes: https://ee2.eu/patch/changes/#158002
We're aware of a bug where the Launcher warns about the incorrect .exe location for the empireearth2:// and empireearth2aos:// protocols after update 158000. It will be fixed in the next update.
We're aware of a bug where CTRL+F7 and CTRL+F8 hotkeys have an inverted behaviour (Faster/Slower instead of Slower/Faster Playback Fast-Forward Speed). This will be fixed in the next update.

People are often asking me: why some updates have a big file to download. The answer is: some updates are bigger, to make the other ones possibly smaller. The file that contains UP1.5 audio is recently often updated, but it won't always be this way.

Minor Update 157040 for Unofficial Patch 1.5 has been released! Changes list: https://ee2.eu/patch/changes/#157040
I issued a fix for the slow opening of the "View Recording" screen. All users who are connected to the Internet should get it thanks to the KeepAlive thread in the Launcher (which modifies a specified game memory address on game start, to skip one function in game process).
http://forum.EE2.eu has been updated to phpBB ver. 3.3.1.

We're aware of an issue where players could see a warning about the outdated installer version (157021) when started the newest UP1.5 157039 installer. This is because I accidentally opened a backup project file instead of the normal one. It is fixed now. Files inside were fine.
We have two (2) MonaNAT® Servers in United States (Las Vegas) now. The old one will expire on October 7th. It's because the provider is removing all OpenVZ nodes and asked for migration. Status: https://www.ee2.eu/status/#multiplayerload
