@Kyp there were rumors that these missions were up yesterday, but after the restarts they seem to have gone missing again; any idea what is going on here and is the intention that they be up? Perhaps this is part of the other maintenance you alluded to you that is still required?

Yeah, for sure, I've been taking a little break the past few weeks but hit one of us up in game and we'll get you an invite.

Who is your ISP? Have you verified you can reach sunrise.net-7.org via UDP?

I haven't tried it but the exe you would want to try would be: "%programfiles%\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond\release\client.exe" and if you don't find it there try: "%programfiles(x86)%\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond\release\client.exe"

Nice, I doubt it was Epic since I've only been around for a year or so and I'm pretty sure I would remember if it was during that time (though these days, you never know, not getting any younger!) I may just be remembering you from A99 as I had quite a few friends in there (Tiogacompmx is the first that comes to mind) and there was a pretty big rivalry between A99 and RiP; it was generally the case that all the top players on the server went to one of those two guilds and that was typically a pretty divisive choice, lol. I remember it being a little awkward that I had friends in both as many of my former guildmates from The Freelancers went to A99. Anyway, we do Gates and FB's pretty regularly, though it has been awhile since we did any Warder triggers, I've got one of those atm as well so that will be fun. If you're going to have two PW's I would go for the TS if you haven't played one just because they are easily the most fun of the professions they added in the emulator. Everyone should experience 8954 warp at least once in their Earth & Beyond career! (why not Warp 9(000) devs, why???) Personally I don't like the JD play style as much and I already get most of the same utility from the JE, but this is easy to say since presently I have both a JD and a TS (and no PW, oops!, but working on 3 of them, lol) Welcome back!

Hey Sioux, That name is really familiar... what guilds were you in on Pegasus before A99? I feel like we must have been in a guild together at some point... Freelancers? Rest in Peace? It took me a whole lot of years to find this emulator but I finally landed back in Sept '23 or so, been having a lot of fun. I joined Epic Gamers and we raid Mon/Wed, 10pm ET, I'm an officer there and can shoot you an invite, just look for me online, especially on raid nights. As far as a 6-pack goes, it depends a lot on the raid. I would say the 3 non-negotiable elements are PW, TT, and TE. PW's are just too good as tanks, and put out the most damage, so one or more (I've seen people who run up to 3, they are that good, and synergize extremely well with shield sap). TT are simply the best healer and no one else comes close, plus give you all the trader-only debuffs. TE is the only AoE-hacker, and this is absolutely required for the raids, especially as they have been tuned to try and prevent exactly what you're looking at doing. JE's are also pretty close to being non-negotiable if they aren't. They give you access to many of the best buffs and debuffs, group cloak, shield leech, and can help take some load off the JD if you have one to get more utility. Beyond those, it depends more on the raid. For raids in gravity wells (GoBB, RD base, Controller) having a TS is a huge QoL improvement, and may be strictly necessary in order to have any chance as a 6-pack (warp in, try to take something out, warp out, heal up, rinse and repeat). JD has the highest burst damage of any profession so if the above is your plan, a JD is good to have. JD can also help immensely in re-grouping after Menace inside gravity wells (Summon Group). I don't see a lot of people trying to use JS, PP, or PS in raids. Maybe some exceptions for PS on the few people lucky enough to have a Daimyo. Hopefully that helps, and hope to see you in-game! - Code

Nice catch, I updated the link in the main post as well!

You probably haven't enabled AUR support in pamac; if you didn't install wine-gecko then parts of the Net-7 launcher probably don't work. Your post doesn't mention installing wine-gecko and you also didn't install wine-staging which is the more commonly recommended wine to use as the OS wine packages can be sketchy (read: quite old). That probably isn't an issue on Arch, but on others it could be a problem so wine-staging is the safer bet. At any rate, wine-gecko is an Extra package and requires pamac to install, but that also depends upon having AUR enabled. I'll see if I can add a check for that with an appropriate error message and instructions for enabling it.

Can you describe what didn't work and/or provide the tweaks you had to make? I can try to update the script on github accordingly so it handles arch properly. I'm running an arch variant (manjaro) so I'm a bit surprised it didn't work for you, but I didn't test it on arch and if it hasn't been tested, it doesn't work! You can also open an issue (or a PR) directly on github: https://github.com/ciphersimian/enb-linux-installer

I will PM you a link you can use to join.

Given the other things mentioned in this thread I'm guessing he's got some other garbage software running on his computer affecting performance. I would recommend downloading Malware Bytes and running that. It is highly regarded and has a long reputation of being a quality tool, unlike the vast majority of anti-virus, anti-malware, etc. tools. You don't need to pay for it, sign up for anything, etc. Just run the free manual scan and remove all the bad stuff it reports. Also, while playing the game and experiencing a long loading screen, press the Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys at the same time and Task Manager will pop up. Click through each of the tabs at the top, CPU, Memory, Disk, Network to sort by that column and see what process(es) are reported as having the highest usage. This may give you a clue as to what is causing the poor performance.

Can someone explain how a firewall, which blocks traffic entirely, could result in long loading screens, rather than just not loading at all?
