EE2.eu Server address has changed. It might be needed to clear DNS cache (in case you can't access EE2eu). CMD -> "ipconfig /flushdns". It's caused by the migration at the same provider (I ordered the same service from the Black Friday promo).

A new "EE2eu SERVER Status & Loads" web page has been created. It's available at: https://www.ee2.eu/status

I also fixed website/launcher scripts downtimes everyday at ~00:08, 12:08, 03:08 CET. They were caused by database backups which locked Mysql tables for writing. Since we use InnoDB the lock has been removed and "single-transaction" added. No more lags should be noticeable :)

In last days I have detected some performance problems on the Server, possibly caused by BOTs scanning the forum. It could result in error 500x messages. From now on: forum, website, launcher and local scripts use separated PHP pools to prevent issues in important modules.

MULTIPLAYER: 29-31 October 2018: NATNeg module has been updated. The game should no longer hang for long seconds when joining rooms. Fixed an issue where NAT & MonaNAT® didn't work when joining games from invites. We have temporary enabled a BOT to detect MonaNAT® effectivity

MULTIPLAYER NEWS: We fixed an issue where NAT and MonaNAT® never worked from a game invite acceptation. Huge thanks for help in testing to Tojo and Loewenherz.

Hopefully everyone will be satisfied now. Cam Fix ver 5.1 + more middle mouse button actions, configurable by the Maximization Helper ;)
Oct 27 2018 - 10:10:15
The new 1.5.7 camera is not so perfect. Seems like calculating new angles based on the original camera settings wasn't the best idea. But no worries, there will be an update fixing angles at zoom-in, and maybe zoom-out.
Oct 26 2018 - 09:10:00
Tweet me what's your favorite UP1.5.7 feature! I personally love Middle Mouse Button for camera rotation and the new Cam Fix with fixed sounds when zoomed-out.

We have detected an issue where the number of "Units Destroyed" can be incorrectly calculated and incorrectly shown after game (on "Stats" -> "Military 1" screen -> "Units Destroyed"). The fix was already prepared and will be available in the next monthly Minor Update (156035).

Laptop not repaired (impossible to get GPU replacement, even from China). Getting it back on Wednesday. In 1-2 weeks Minor Update with new improvements regarding unit icons & maybe a glitch fix (for MP security reasons no public information about this glitch will be shared).

Tomorrow I should know if my laptop's GPU can be repaired or not :) Meanwhile watching "Breaking Bad" TV series on Netflix for the first time.

Regarding my laptop problems... My current laptop has 32GB of RAM - increased intentionally so I could run over 5 virtual machines at the same time. It was needed for MP Lobby fixes (it had problems listing more than 4... https://www.facebook.com/eearth2/posts/2341300999245847

Of course my laptop problems don't affect EE2eu / Multiplayer Server. It will be still maintenanced and running. I just think it's fair to inform everyone what we're standing on.
Sep 11 2018 - 23:09:38
The graphics card in my laptop stopped working (hardware issue) and it's not longer under warranty. I won't be able to afford a new laptop for long months (or maybe years). It happened right after I started work on the Language Changer :( I'm unable to continue work on UP1.5.

The server restart scheduled on 03.09.2018 was completed today at 10:20 CEST. It was issued by the provider to apply patches for Intel's "Foreshadow" CPU vulnerability. We're sorry for the inconvenience. The Multiplayer Lobby uptime was ~2 months with no crashes :)
Sep 02 2018 - 08:09:16
Did anyone experience problems with installing the latest Minor Update? Some functions and behavior has changed, so please tell me about all the problems (if any).

I'm currently testing 156031. It includes a new anti-Scout Glitch solution which removes the "punishment" and replaces Scouts with "Temp Anti-Glitch Scouts" which can fly over buildings when needed. The only problem was game saves compatibility, so I had to keep old effect names.

Server upgrade completed. There were some problems with SSL certificates around 01:30 CET, but everything is fixed now and works as intended. Since the Server address changed, it might be needed to clear DNS cache (in case you can't access EE2eu). CMD -> "ipconfig /flushdns".
Jul 04 2018 - 00:07:08
We're updating Ubuntu Server version (from 16.04 to 18.04). The EE2eu IP address will change. It should be painless and unnoticeable for users.

I found my old information website about UP1.5 updates: https://patch.ee2.eu/patch15-other/next-update/index.html
Unfortunately, I stopped updating it due to no visits and pointless time wasting on text-writing. Anyway, it's good to see this part of UP1.5 History :)
Jun 23 2018 - 03:06:15
No Minor Update is scheduled on July. I will be improving the Server-related things instead. I won't post "what", because I'm scared of those "I know everything better" (usually Linux) players who come, give "tips", and criticize my decisions :(

Multiplayer Lobby restarts Today and Yesterday were caused by modules update.
I fixed an issue where percentage character (%) couldn't be sent in messages. Also, new accounts registration should be less problematic (prompt to change a nickname when contains illegal characters).

It should be installed only by players who use a 4k screen resolution.
The launcher won't display notifications about this update, except "Optional Update" button on top

EE2eu was sending incorrect mails after users changed their email/password for their Multiplayer Account. It contained an information that "Your updated password has been cached and is securely stored in our database". It meant to be "hashed", not "cached".
