Apologies for posting about a bug/in-game issue in this forum as usual, but not sure where else to put it. FYI @Kyp / @RedKite My understanding is that the spawn times for raid triggers were increased over the holidays (though maybe they were just being respawned manually?) but ever since the Jan. 9th restart the controller trigger mob (Scavenger Drone ZX1) has not spawned. We've contacted Woody about this and before yesterday's restart he said it was showing something like 11 days until spawn. Yesterday after the restart he indicated it should be ~3 hours based on the number of seconds he said it had, but it never spawned. I've been watching it continuously since. My guess is that something was changed or broken with the spawn in the wake of the Christmas missions / Holiday spawn timer. Can a DEV look into this please? Thanks!

Folks, Just for future reference, IMing me in addition to the post here won't make anything faster. During my night hours my phone will not get your ping. It's infrequent that it goes down late, but when it does, it does. We don't have 24-hour support capabilities (no one's paid). I got a couple of different IMs this time so making sure that's clear.

Coming back up.

Yep, it appears "offline" in the Launcher

I haven't been able to get in for half an hour or so.

I think the server crashed red server indicator and no control or chat to or from any in game toons

thanks garblesoup for the hint. sadly it didnt help. Would it be of any help if someone zips his updated launcher (especially the net7proxy) and gives them to me? I am lost as to what else to try. ok next thing would be to try it in a VM. sigh i wanna mine again...

Just a totally rando suggestion . . . if you were to attempt again an uninstall and reinstall perhaps use something like the Everything search agent to look for Net7 goobers after your "uninstall" to verify there's not a directory still present that might be effing up your efforts.

Thanks Codemonkeyx for the detailed answer. I did delete the Net-7 in Program (x86) I did delete the Net-7 in %appdata%\local I did delete the LaunchNet7 in %appdata%\local I searched the whole drive for any "*net7*" with no hits. I used your link to dl the launcher (again). I installed it and set the properties. When starting i get the headline og the launcher window like shown in the attached image which is out of date i still think. Looking inside the downloaded SFX-archive the LaunchNet7.exe has a timestamp of 2011-10-08 which seems not so new nevertheless. Why do i keep getting that damn v 1.9.9 launcher instead of the required 2.2.x one you all seem to have? What am i doing wrong? Here is the error from the log: System.Net.WebException: Die zugrunde liegende Verbindung wurde geschlossen: Unbekannter Fehler beim Empfangen.. ---> >> the connection has been closed: unknown error on receiving << System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Der Client und der Server können keine Daten austauschen, da sie nicht über einen gemeinsamen Algorithmus verfügen >> the client and the server could not exchange data cause they do not have a common algorythm << bei System.Net.SSPIWrapper.AcquireCredentialsHandle(SSPIInterface SecModule, String package, CredentialUse intent, SecureCredential scc) bei System.Net.Security.SecureChannel.AcquireCredentialsHandle(CredentialUse credUsage, SecureCredential& secureCredential) bei System.Net.Security.SecureChannel.AcquireClientCredentials(Byte[]& thumbPrint) bei System.Net.Security.SecureChannel.GenerateToken(Byte[] input, Int32 offset, Int32 count, Byte[]& output) bei System.Net.Security.SecureChannel.NextMessage(Byte[] incoming, Int32 offset, Int32 count) bei System.Net.Security.SslState.StartSendBlob(Byte[] incoming, Int32 count, AsyncProtocolRequest asyncRequest) bei System.Net.Security.SslState.ForceAuthentication(Boolean receiveFirst, Byte[] buffer, AsyncProtocolRequest asyncRequest) bei System.Net.Security.SslState.ProcessAuthentication(LazyAsyncResult lazyResult) bei System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state) bei System.Net.TlsStream.ProcessAuthentication(LazyAsyncResult result) bei System.Net.TlsStream.Write(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) bei System.Net.PooledStream.Write(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) bei System.Net.ConnectStream.WriteHeaders(Boolean async) --- Ende der internen Ausnahmestapelüberwachung --- bei LaunchNet7.LauncherUtility.DownloadString(String url, Int32 timeoutInMilliseconds) bei LaunchNet7.Updateing.Updater.CheckForUpdates() Can this behavior be the result od an active firewall?

I've been compiling a list of common issues and their solutions on the Net-7 wiki here: https://net-7.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshooting

Hi @Ciannicay, the launcher on the download page is the up to date one. The one on your computer is not. There may be some confusion here about what is really being updated when we talk about "resetting updates"; the launcher is primarily updating the game, which is installed separately. To answer your question, the direct link for the launcher is: https://downloads.net-7.org/Net-7_Install.exe but more than likely you already have this. The problem (and what @bespoke was getting at) is that the launcher on your computer is out of date, and perhaps even after "uninstalling" it and reinstalling, it's not updating, or you have multiple versions of it, etc. There are a lot of possible things that could be going wrong there if the client was originally installed on an older windows version, or you've managed to get multiple installed, etc. What @bespoke described was essentially a scorched earth approach of completely removing any old remnants of the launcher from your system. In your case I think that's a good idea. Do an uninstall from Windows Add/Remove Programs for "Net-7" or "Net-7 Launcher", anything like that, then manually remove this Net-7 folder completely: C:\Program Files (x86)\Net-7 then manually remove this LaunchNet7 folder completely (this is what @bespoke was referring to): %AppData%\Local\LaunchNet7 which will most likely be a path like: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\LaunchNet7 which contains deeply nested XML config files like user.config. Then go into your start menu and see if any "Net-7 Entertainment" folder remains, and if so, look at the properties of those shortcuts and remove all those locations as well. We want to completely nuke everything from orbit, it's the only way to be sure. There should be no traces of Net-7, LaunchNet7, "Net-7 Launcher" or "Net-7 Entertainment" left on your computer. THEN install the launcher from the above link.

Did some wireshark sniffing. Launcher connects to patch.net-7.org and tries to http-get "/Net7/Version.txt" that results in a "301 Moved permanently" message from the server. I dont know, but normaly this should work fine. I got no clue. Would it be possible for anyone to supply a link for downloading the newer launcher directly? The big question on my mind is: Why isnt the launcher on the downloadpage an up to date one? Kind regards Cainnicay

Sadly none of the above advices did help. i still get an error in the bottom line of the launcher. opening up the details of that message gives me the following error: Following erroes occured while checking for updates: Error while checking updates for 'Net7' Details (translating them to english). the basic connection has been closed: unkonown error while receiving Any further ideas? Kind regards Ciannicay

EDIT: I just re-read this and realized this is the config directory you deleted, not the program directory. This makes sense now.

I had the same issue - I could not get the launcher to update past 1.9.9. This is what worked for me, but your mileage may vary: Quit the launcher In a file explorer window, go to %AppData%\Local Delete the LaunchNet7 directory Restart the launcher This kickstarted the launcher into update mode for me. Hope this helps.

Not the same symptom, but try the steps here and see if resetting updates helps: https://net7wiki.bmsite.net/index.php?title=Troubleshooting#MISSING_ASSET_Please_Report_Me

Hi there, i am returning player after slacking off for 11 years (!). I installed the client and the launcher. i followed all steps of the FAQ/mini-guide. Yet i am somehow lost as the launcher is V1.9.9 and refuses to find any update informations. I drilled some holes for the network communicatio (port 3600-3808 udp/tcp), too. Ip is correctly selected. I have no clue why there is no updating happening. Any ideas? Regards Ciannicay

Hi Codemonkeyx, Thanks for the suggestions. I figured out what the issue was - my launcher was somehow stuck at version 1.9.9. It seems that even though I built a new computer since I last played EnB, I copied over the contents of my AppData directory, and something in there (from four years ago) was causing the launcher to not update. When I deleted the LaunchNet7 folder from AppData/Local, that allowed the launcher to update to v2.2.0 and then the updates were able to replace the corrupted files on my local install. Thanks again!

Can you be more specific about what you did here? It is far more likely that there was a problem with your old install which persisted through the "deleted" and reinstall process than that your old install and the files from net-7.org are damaged in the exact same way and others aren't having this same issue. I would try going into the launcher and using the option "Reset Updates": Then use the option "Check For Updates ...": This should go through several cycles of updating and when complete you should see "LaunchNet7 v2.2.0" in the title bar and "Current Version: 545" in the lower right corner, just as above. Give that a shot and see if it helps. More than likely you've got a corrupt file in your install. If the above didn't work you may have to completely remove your install directory above after uninstalling, but without some additional surgery you will lose all your settings, shortcut bars, etc.

Hi all, Old player returning for a dose of EnB! I have toons spread across multiple accounts. All of them are missing some assets - mostly just occasional icons in inventory, however some toons have green and yellow spheres while in space and when viewing the ship's inventory. See photos at this imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/Vitr6C2 Woodstock suggested I delete the TH6 files in C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond\Data\client\mixfiles. Twice I shut down the app, deleted the TH6 files, and restarted the game via the Net7 launcher, but both times the missing artwork did not come back. I then deleted my EnB install, downloaded eandb_demo.exe and enb_up.exe from www.net-7.org and ran both as Administrator, but still the assets are missing. Woodstock suggested I post in the forum after the TH6 deletion did not work. I'm running Windows 11 if that might be part of the issue. Hopefully the install file(s) at net-7.org aren't damaged somehow.

Oh for trade routes here are two jitbit scripts for navigating FN<->NV, they are tuned for about 3000 warp speed (can simply be tweaked by messing with delays) and do not handle the planet or the stations. nv_to_fn.mcr fn_to_nv.mcr

So I played for a week or two here and I tweaked your login script here with some sleeps for timing (I have a very good machine but it just wasn't opening certain screens etc fast enough and just need a bit of delay to get things to line up properly). I've attached it below mostly restored to defaults. I added a few additional features such as auto selecting a character to login as well as booting/logging in/positioning a single character (very useful crashes for crashed) that is context sensitive to if the window already exists or not. I have also changed the window naming to match Wyzzards script so that they can be used in combo together. I will also attach that script which includes some additions such us buy and sell and invite alts from Doctor's scripts. Long term I don't think I'll be sticking around (unfortunately there just isn't enough MMO to the MMO with its current population, nobodies fault as well as the general age of the game and mechanics) but was great to come back in and muck around for a few weeks and scratch that itch. Hopefully some of these tweaks will be useful to someone in the future. EnBPlay.ahk enb_login.ahk

I don't have any technical details or history but I assume it's related to packet ordering between the net7proxy and the server and experience has shown that with modern network stacks it definitely needs to be enabled.

Thanks @Codemonkeyx. The only one I didn't have checked was Protoype Reorder and just that has made a huge difference. Much less crashing on gate/dock now! What does it do?

Looking for a PB Paznar is my in game name. Found one.
