So, I looked at the AHK post you mentioned. I will be honest. I am rather inept when it comes to the technical side of computers. It explains in detail the script, how it works, functions and how to set up. My stupid ass here is thinking "How do you even run a script, let alone write it? Do I need to download a program or something?" All that is way over my head, the fact that I am asking myself if a program is needed to even start it. I feel like I am in no place to even attempt it. I wish I knew more, but at this stage. I do not have the knowledge to even comprehend how difficult any of that is. Sounds like it would be super useful too.

Thank you, I do appreciate this information. It has been quite the few years since I last played. I've aged as well, so tastes in games change. I am just looking to get my feet under me. This information does help. I've been looking at the Wiki as well. It is easy to understand in its formatting, so my gratitude to all those who invested time to it. First thing I need to do. Fix the key binds! I was doing some Prospecting to get an alt some Exploration xp, and it was disastrous. I couldn't target what I wanted to (F8 Default, really?! Not once would I of guessed that!) Is there a way to copy all settings between accounts, so I don't have to do it 6+ times? After that, I really need to figure out how to run multiple combat classes at once. Maybe if I made the Screens smaller? Can I "un-anchor" the cursor from the client? I am alt-tabbing. It gets a wee bit confusing since Windows reorganizes to most recent tab, not last opened. After all that. Maybe I will try to solo a Gate Raid? Fish-Bowl? Red-dragons perhaps. Those are all I can really remember of the game.

After a very annoying week of troubleshooting, I was finally able to get the game installed. Once I did, I notice that I have 5 of the 6 "Classes" at 149-150 Range (lv49 Trade on the 149s of course. Remember that.) As well as inventories and vaults fill of items, ammos, and variety of loot. To be honest, I am at a loss of what to do. It has been so many years that I am unsure of what there is to even do. What is the end-game loop? Is it to farm items to breakdown so you can learn schematics? Raid? PvP? Faction grind? Right now, I am so overwhelmed that I don't know what the first step is. I could make new characters, but I will end up in the same boat. Do I need to multi-box to kill things? If so, how many? 2? 3? All 6? I am not looking to be hand-held. Just a direction of what there is to do. Possibly even how to start doing it. Any advice or suggestions would be so very appreciated. Especially if it is combat related and how many I need to bring for a hunt. Crafting as well is fine.. just some sort of idea. It has been way to many years, and way too many games, that I do not even know what there is to do.

An update. After 3+ days of trouble shooting. Scouring the internet (googling lawl) of solutions, and people with similar issues. Soft reformatting. Debugging. Installing 3rd party programs. Safe mode. You name it, I did it. Having NOTHING work. No sign of the issue as no error codes popped up. I gave up. I checked it one last time and it was still offline. Defeated, I restarted my PC and went about to look for other games to play. Shutting off the PC last night, I felt like checking one more time "Just incase'. No downloads happened, no installations. Nothing changed since last I looked. To my surprise. It was installed and turned on. How? I have ZERO idea. None what so ever. Everything I did had zero immediate effect. Codes for Cmd prompt. Installations. Resets. Reformats. Everything had no success. Yet, here we are. I guess.. when you give up. Things fix it self. That is the moral of the story I am going with.

I am at a complete loss as what to do. I have tried to install, uninstall, and reinstall both the EnB Demo and Net7 Launcher multiple times. Aside from the ENBConfig program, which I still cannot find. That is secondary to the fact that I cannot "Launch" Net7. I repeatedly get hit with the error mentioning "An app on your PC needs the following Windows Feature: .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)" I allow the Net7 launcher to "search and install", which leads to a never ending load bar that requires Task Manager to shut down. If I shut off my PC while it is running, it does a "Windows Update" indefinitely. Requiring me to hard shut down. Both after hours of letting it "search". I've manually used the "Windows Features" program to turn it on, which once again leads to a never ending search/load. I've done everything I can think of, and nothing is working. I am unsure if it is a Windows issue, if there is some complication from the two programs I downloaded, or user error. Whatever the case, I do not know of a next step to take aside from returning to these forums and asking for help. If no one is able, capable, or willing. I will have to try again in a few weeks, or years, to immerse myself in nostalgia. It is quite frustrating. I believe I followed all instructions properly. Ask any question you think is needed if you can help. I will do my best to answer as clearly as possible. I do hope it is just a user error issue.

I am not questioning the accuracy of the instructions presented, merely seeking help for a issue I am encountering. I will install the updates mentioned for windows in hopes it solves my .NET framework issue. The odds of there being an update on this the day I attempt to play is.. I should play the lotto today or something. That said, I am still at a loss of the ENBConfig you mention and that on the instructions. I looked at the Download page once more, to ensure I didn't miss anything obvious that says "ENBConfig". Which, I don't believe I did. I see Client, Notifier, and Client Patch. If that is referring to the file I mentioned, as I said. It is a Folder with assets in it. It doesn't launch any program or anything I can interact with. I went through each file available from the Demo download. Used the Search feature with the exact spelling and different abbreviation, as well as sorting by Type and looking at all Applications. I cannot locate it. As it stands, I am still at a loss and all I would like to do is play a nostalgic game. After the Windows update goes through, if I still have issues I will report back. Hopefully that config isn't needed or it gets resolved somehow as I do not know what to do in the meantime. Edit: Windows Update is stuck on the .NET framework "patch". It has been "Installing - 0%" for about 25 minutes now. Is this in any way tied to the EnB or Net7 installs? I don't think so, however on can never know.

It has been a good 9-10 years since I have had the pleasure of playing Earth and Beyond. The craving for nostalgia hit hard, so I am in the process of installing. However, I have come across an issue that I am having difficulties with. Following the step by step instructions provided, I am at "10. Next, navigate to your 'Start' menu and locate the Earth and Beyond shortcut Folder. 11. Once there, run the 'Earth & Beyond Configuration' shortcut, and select your desired settings. Make sure you run as 'Administrator' (Rightclick the shortcut and select 'Run as Admin') and also hit the 'Performance Test'." There are no files called "Earth & Beyond Configuration", or any abbreviations of it. The only thing close I can find is "EBCONFIG" which is a folder with images and other assets in it. Cannot follow the directions in that locations. I am also having an issue with the "LaunchNet7". Since the previous step had no solutions I could find, I made an attempt to move further on. That lead me to another issue. Upon the launch of it (in and out of admin) I receive a pop up notifying me "An app on your PC needs the following Windows Feature: .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)" Prompting me to Download said feature, or skip. I've tried both. The download leads to a never ending load bar "searching" for said files, while the Skip option just closes down the application. I even used the "Tell me more about this feature" option, and went into my control panel to manually "check" the .Net option. Which once again lead to a never ending bar searching for files. I am at a loss on the next step. Any information would be welcomed. I am running Win11 if that is of importance.

Thank you very much Aru, that will indeed help tremendously.    Now, I just need to find something similar for a PW. I assume this list can be shared with a TT, with a change of being a Guardian device?

Hello All, I am here for some advice.   I am running a team of the following.  TT, TE, and PW. They are still relatively low level and I was hoping to get a 'basic' gear list of what I should be leveling with. Primarily Weapons, Reactors, and Engines. With any note worthy devices. Going from Lv 4 - Max. Any help would be appreciated. I would hate to constantly ask, so I thought getting it all down in one post would be more beneficial.   Yes, for all three please. I know this is the Terran sub-forums, but instead of making a second post for PW - do you think you can add it here?    If by chance there is already a list on the forums that I somehow missed, a link would be amazing. Also, yes. I know about the data-base. But that has too much information. I am just looking for the best to level with and comparing everything there would take forever and a half. I know some people have this info off the top of their head.   Thank you.

I see, Thank you Kyp. You have been most helpful.   When I have a moment to re-download the Launcher, I will look into white listing it.   Much appreciated, You too as well Alurra. Thank you

I see. I feared that.   However, as unfortunate as it is. I have little experience figiting with this Particular version of Norton.    Would anyone else happen to know how I can go about it?

Edit: "Net-7 Launcher Constantly Deleted From My System"   Hello One, and all. I come here with a problem.   I have installed this Emulator, for Nostalgia reasons and threw the suggestions of long time comrades. However I seem to of stumbled onto a problem.   Whenever I restart my system, The Net-7 Launcher is deleted from my system. The folder, and other aspects of it remain. However Not the launcher. The only way, if I decide to do so, Log back into the game is to re-install the launcher. Run threw the patches once again. Then only can I re-enter the game. Until, I restart my system once again. It is quite inconvenient.    The only reason I can think of it is my anti-virus is blocking what it sees as a virus - or something harmful to my system.    I am on Windows 7 Professional, and using Norton 360 as my Anti-Virus system. I know, I know Norton hate and bashing. However it is what I have.   Is this a known problem, or do I need more info? If that is the case, what info is needed?   Thank You.
