MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.

Well I turned Avast off to update, turned it back on, client finished updating. Tried loading Entropia, got a video card not recognised (3070ti) and then for the first time on this relatively new laptop a BSOD crash.

Does it explain why nanocube was so low ?

obviously

I guess nanocubes are going to go up in price now. I’m sure no one abused this…

Well, I’m locked out until further notice then!
My update gets to 95% and then I get “Failed to install runtime C:\Program Files (x86)\Entropia Universe\redist\dx\dxsetup.exe, Code: -15”
and then a little while later “Failed to update EU: An error occurred while applying the update. Please try again later.”
This happens on both of the fully patched Windows 11 machines I have access to - manufactured about 8 years apart by different manufacturers so presumably with somewhat different hardware. I have error pics in my PCF gallery but couldn’t work out how to get them here.
Jess :slight_smile:

Update: It works now. The solution was to uninstall AVG Free AV, reboot, and try again.
Update 2: So, then I came out of EU and installed Avast. With Avast installed, EU didn’t get anywhere near to opening. So I uninstalled Avast and installed BitDefender. All fine now!

Do you have Avast?

If you do, you might have notifications turned off. Either way, disable the anti virus for 10 minutes and the installation will push through.

The first-person view of the pilot in a Trident Heavy Fighter is currently angled too far downward.

What about prospector zoom in from pilot seat? I made a support case and is still the same. When I use zoom in from pilot seat I see the dashboard…

We are aware of the current installation/launch issues and are looking into it.

I have forwarded all the information in this thread as it’s been posted, but if you have any related issue/information not mentioned already please comment them here, send me a PM, or submit a support case.

So tokens tradeable but still no list of what will be restocked….no way.

Here, I’ll do it for you again… If Bertha Bot is the news fetcher, why do I have to fetch the news??

"Dressed in layers of energy-dissipating armor weave plating yet able to reach roughly the same speeds as an interceptor, the capabilities of the Trident-class heavy fighter far outstrip its archaic design.

The tradeoff is that its greater mass causes maneuverability to suffer, making it more difficult to control and potentially vulnerable to more agile enemies when alone.

The original prototype for this triple-seater was a heavily modified ship found in an abandoned garage on the planet Rocktropia, where it had likely been used for illegal demolition racing. The models available to the public have been modernized in many different ways, such as adding the spinal pylons that help regulate energy distribution for the engines and can protect them from overloading.

Players can work on crafting this new combat oriented ship by speaking with the Shipyard NPC in Howling Mine."
