    Kangaroo has failed to realize that even though he mentions the word Beta in his posts multiple times, we are not in Beta, we are not even in Alpha. We are still in the development stage and stress tests are needed. So player wipes will be not as frequent but they will still be there. Most of you know me as Karn [Dev] in-game and I will be fixing the graphical bugs along with our graphical team who are all top notch. So here is a little advice for Kangaroo coming from someone who has some knowledge of what is happening behind the scenes, this is just part of life in a video game test environment, get used to it.

    There are a multitude of MMOs out there you can play, that will have the stability your looking for. May I recommend Hello Kitty Online. This has a stable environment and you can be anyone you want, and maybe it will just help you to calm down a bit.

    Good Luck,

    Karn [Graphical Dev]

    Every time I try to log in a Character, TCP Connection Port 3500 and 3801 is reset.

    System has been working fine. Suddenly after Gate crash last night I cannot log in any of my characters

    Help Pls.

    Have you restarted your system and also have you done a Force update on your N7 patcher? Let me know if this helps.

    Hi, After a relog I'm getting the INV-300 error again. Account PinkSky.

    Thank you,

    Pink

    I started a new thread the top letting people know that the Login server is currently down. Soon as our DEVs check it out it should be a very quick restart.

    Hello, I just found out about this and thought it might be worth a closer look.

    However, I seem to be having trouble with the download: The download always completes prematurely (the first file I downloaded was only 56 Mb big, the next 75). As things are, I dont have a flat rate, but a 15 Gig limit per month, so the download of 1.1 GB is kind of a luxury. If I manage to download the file to the last 100 Mb and then it failes (which seems to have happened to some people) there's no way in hell I can do another attempt this month.

    So I guess the major questions are: why is the download so prone to get cancelled (never had this problem with any other file) and is there maybe some tool that would let me pick up the download from the point it stopped the last time?

    Yes they are called download managers. Check Google there are lots of them out there and they are free. Also have you tried using the torrent file we have on the forum? The torrent automatically checks every single byte that is downloaded to make sure it corresponds with the given hash. So you get a non-corrupted file every time.

    Let us know what happens. Good Luck.

    Have you tried forcing the updates? Sometimes not all the updates come down and maybe your missing a file. To do that go up to the help box on the top right and click it. Then click advanced. You will see a huge button that says "Force Update." Click that and then shutdown the patcher, then re-open it and make sure you give it admin privileges when you do. It will start to re-patch everything. Just keep clicking the update button after you re-open the application.

    I hope this helps. Let us know what happened after you did this new procedure. Good Luck.

    First off this game does not run in 64-bit. So you will need to make sure you run this game in windows XP compatibility Mode 32-bit. Second make sure you run the EnB config and the Net-7 config, can be found here: C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond\EBCONFIG Net-7config.exe. Also anytime you do something in this game make sure you also give it full admin privileges.

    Try this and also run a chkdsk too that will sometimes clear up problems. Let us know how you did and what errors your getting in response to this new procedure. Good Luck.

    Try this:

    1. There are 2 configurations. One is the EnB one. The other is the Net-7 one that you can find in: C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond\EBCONFIG it is called net-7config.exe. You will need to start them with admin privileges, so right click and you will see the option.

    2. Set the net-7 application to Windows XP compatibility mode 32-bit. This is the application that starts the game that is placed on your desktop after you install.

    If you do these 2 things 99% of your video problems will be fixed along with a host of others you may not yet know about. Hehehe

    Let us know how it turns out.

    Well at this stage of the server no one should be macroing at all. You all should be looking out for bugs or issues. If you are macroing and not there then you are missing out on bugs or issues and whatnot. I am against macroing to be honest, dual boxing is fine since you are playing both at the same time. But like I said, no one should be macroing right now since you all need to be doing a job and helping to find bugs and whatnot. How can you do that if your not there testing the game. But why play a game and not enjoy it by making the bothersome jobs done by computer, that just doesn't make sense to me. Go play Farmville or something if you want an instant, "I WIN," button or something or "Hello Kitty."

    For the purposes of... well frankly of keeping my hands busy and perhaps lucking into a workaround that will get me into game, I've been going through variable login sequences to try to see if there's something I was doing wrong.

    First, in Win7 I had already set the Net7 Launcher to run in xp emulation and admin mode. A friend suggested I run the E&B exe in admin mode as well to see if that might have some infuence. It doesn't. :) "Server unavailable" at the end of the character creator sequence when you try to log into Sunrise.

    I then tried (for grins) different race/professions, then cookiecutter templates (no modifications/customizations of the character or ships), then a client-side reboot and isolated application run. No difference. I'm certainly not capable of establishing definitively that this is a server-side error, but I'm running out of client-side tests! ;)

    Wow thanks for trying all that. I tried a lot of things also including creating my characters through the Character & Starship creator program to no avail either. I happen to agree that this is definitely server side. If anyone knows a workaround or when the DEVs will finish getting the bug repaired, the info would be very much appreciated. Withdrawals from Earth and Beyond for 5 years really sucks, worse then Oxy withdrawals. :)

    Thanks for your diligence DEVs. We are behind you 100%.

    Update~12:30PM PST

    Tried once again to enter Sunrise with a new character and still getting the same message that the server is unavailable at the moment to try again later. I will try again in a couple of hours to see if it has been resolved.

    Thanks

    So many warm welcomes. Thank you all of you for them. Now if I can only get online to play then my happiness will continue. Unfortunately, at this moment there is an issue with the server that is not allowing new characters to be developed. So when I create the new character it doesn't allow me to enter the game. So soon as this issue is fixed then I can join all of you in-game and finally be able to scratch that 5 year itch that has been called Earth and Beyond.

    Hey guys I know how you feel. I already created a post about this issue: https://enb-emulator.com/index.php?/topic/530-character-creation/

    The good thing is I spoke to a GM yesterday on teamspeak and he informed me that this is a known issue and the DEV team is actively trying to resolve it with the utmost speed. How cool is that, an instant answer on teamspeak for a problem, where else can you get service like that? So the only thing we can do is be patient (I know it is hard, trust me,) and wait for the DEVs to get on this issue. Please feel free to check out the post I had started about this issue yesterday and add to it if you like.

    Thanks

    Welcome Frizy to the EnB Emulator. I know how you feel mate. I have this really bad itch right now to play EnB since I haven't played since sundown. I was literally on till the server disconnect message came on. I think I cried for a day and then was depressed for another year afterwards. To this day I have never ever found another game like EnB and it is maddening to be soooo close but yet so far. I know the Devs are working on the issue, (Bless their hearts,) but god, I really need to see if this works, I really need to have that feeling I have been missing for so many years now. I mean it is like going through life then finding out something has been missing then having the elation of finding it again.

    So if the Dev team need any help whatsoever from my end please let me know. I have extensive knowledge of Java and can code. I will want to check out the dev tools today after work to see if I can not only play but be a help to this entire project. So dev team we are 100% behind you as a community if you need anything from us the community let us know and we can be there right beside you fighting the good fight against the bugs and the bad decision of Electronic Arts.

    (Damn you EA for shutting down an awesome game that actually worked and was balanced for something as stupid as the Sims online.) Nice thing though is I have never bought another EA product since their horrid decision to shutdown Earth and Beyond. I have also let other friends know not to support EA in their endeavors.

    Sorry about going into a rant, but welcome home.

    New Update~9:00AM PST

    Well I tried once again to create a new character and it still seems this part of the game is not functioning. From what I can tell, if you already have a character on the game before this malfunction started, then you can still play the game using your older characters. Another issue that seems to be more prevalent is the "Hull Upgrade Lose a toon after disconnect." Can someone please explain to me about this bug that is happening so when I do get to play I know what to watch out for so I am not losing my toons then not being able to play because of the new creation bug.

    Thanks again, I know the development team is hard at work on this issue, and if I can be of any service please let me know.

    Ok, I was just about to suggest you use the Creator when you updated...

    I, too, have done all you have done and cannot create a new character, with all the same messages and roadblocks you get, yet I can login to my established chars. -_-

    My only guess is that the launcher saying that the server is offline when it checks, but it actually is not, and you can still continue to the game normally, *may* be part of the problem.

    It needs some one above my pay grade to address this. And I am sure it will happen directly...

    (although I believe it will not *seem* be soon enough -- I know what a many year withdrawal Jones from ENB feels like. ^_^ Don't we all?!?)

    I just spoke to a Game Master through teamspeak and he had explained to me that the developers are aware of this issue currently. They are working diligently to effect a repair and we should be able to add new characters to the server very shortly. So at this point all we can do is wait and be patient for one of the developers to address the issue. Then we can get back to living the good ol' days of Earth and Beyond.

    The first time I try to login with a new char, I usually get a message like that. -_- Just click ok (or whatever to exit) then login again with the same char, and I am in. Only happens once after creation...

    TooTall

    When I quit I have to recreate a new character since it doesn't even save the character to the server. The exact message I get is, "The galaxy this character resides on is currently unavailable. Please try again later." At that point I try to login a couple more times with the same message appearing. So I hit the ESC button and quit. When I relog on I need to go through the entire character creation process and try again to log onto the Sunrise server. Am I connecting to the wrong server on the Net-7 proxy loader? I use the custom multiplayer one. I have tried the other server also but it is the same issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have searched the forums to see if anyone else has had this problem fixed and it seems that you are the first to reply. If you need any information from me please feel to ask as I would love to play this wonderful game again since I miss it so much.

    Thanks again.

    Update~11:41PM PST

    I downloaded the starship creator and created a new character. But when I get to the point after loading the character, the server requests a name for the character. I enter a name for my character select the Sunrise server and hit Play Game. I still get "The galaxy this character resides on is currently unavailable. Please try again later," message. I re-logged on afterwards to see if at least it saved the data of my new character onto the server and it did not. I had to re-enter a name for my character and hit the Sunrise server button then hit the Play Game and still received the message aforementioned.

    So I am still having issues, if someone could be so kind to look into this issue I would ever be so happy. I promise to jumpstart you if you ever need me free of charge. I'll even come into dangerous territory to do it.

    Thanks.

    Hello everyone,

    I was a big time EnB player a long time ago and I played until the last minute it was shutdown. I was a Progen Warrior on the server Orion. I can not for the life of me remember my name though. I am just glad to be back and would like to know if I can be of any help. EnB was my first online MMO and I can never ever forget it. I still dream of things I did in-game so long ago it is maddening. Thanks to everyone who got together to put this back together after EA decided to cut it for the SIMS online. Biggest mistake ever. I have been true to myself and still to this day have not bought an EA game due to them being idiots about EnB.
