The Multiplayer Lobby logging-in issues Today (01.06.2018) between 06:16 to 06:40 CET were caused by MariaDB 10.3 upgrade problems. Seems like I had to run "mysql_upgrade" command after update, but noticed it too late :(

If somebody has any ideas what I could post on the EE2eu BLOG - please feel free to send me ideas by Twitter, Facebook or Support Chat. I started playing EE2 when I was 7 and I have a lot of knowledge regarding this game, especially from the technical point of view.

The Server was restarted today (12.05.2018 at 09:26 CET) for system updates. The Multiplayer Lobby uptime was: 1 month 24 days 2h 35min. It seems to be pretty stable now :) In October 2015 when the Server was created it used to crash every few hours.

Happy Good Friday 2018!
Good news: The Windows 10 17133 fixes for Empire Earth 2 have been fully integrated with the new version of UP1.5 Launcher. The Minor Update 156026 should be released early in March (before the official Win10 17133 release).
I found a solution for Windows 10 17133 maximization problems on EE2. At the moment I'm working to integrate new fixes with the UP1.5 Launcher. The next Minor Update should be released before Windows 10 17133, so you don't need to worry about this problem anymore.
Early Warning System: Please do not update to Windows 10 1803 (build 17133) if you use an @nvidia graphics card. There is a serious problem with running EE2 in the full screen mode (unable to maximize). It doesn't affect the integrated GPU. Please wait for further information.
We have detected that the MSI Nahimic Audio software might cause EE2 to crash on start. An appropriate warning has been added to the News window in UP1.5 Launcher and will be displayed to users when process NahimicMSIAudioFX.exe is running on their system.
