Sigh. It's just unplayable after about 5 minutes. I can fly around, but the 5-10 second delay makes battle impossible. Going to work with Cisco on my firewall, but I don't think it's going to do any good. Just going to have to wait for Comcast to build out in the neighborhood. Plenty of bandwidth to console game online, watch Netflix/Disney+, or play games on this PC, but something with EnB just isn't working (for me). Something my PC or security setup just hates.

I will add these to firewall exceptions for that IP, see what happens. I can gate now, so that's good. But the latency/lag for me is too much to play. Literally a 5-second delay between any button pushed and the action taking place. Initially, it's normal. But after about 5-10 minutes, super delay. Bandwidth usage is almost nothing, which is great - I just must be in a horribly latent spot. But thanks for the tips and things to try. I'll keep trying - maybe install on another pc, too, see if the same thing happens. Spoke too soon. Can't gate anymore. Looks like I can play 5 minutes at a time. lol

I will give it a try - but what I am seeing is that during transition, the server is trying to communicate back to me on port 3544, which isn't the port outbound, therefore my firewall is dropping it. This is easily reproducible, so that's good. Not sure why it would try to come back to me on a port I am not already communicating on, and I don't know about allowing that IP to transmit anything to me it wants.

Might just be my crappy ISP, but the lag is pretty harsh this morning. I cannot dock or gate without the client hanging at the map screen and never completing. Arx Forgus and gate from Witberg to Zweihander- both just bring up the galaxy map and just sit there. Has been 15 minutes with no change. If everyone else is fine, I'll presume ISP, but figured I'd ask. They are finally building out fiber in my neighborhood, so in the 30-60 days this should be a non-issue altogether. Edit: Same issues in 5G connection. Hm.

Found the reset, and can log in now. Will play a bit later hopefully. Thank you all for the help, suggestions and perseverance!

I wish I could say I knew exactly why, but...I was able to launch this morning, reset updates and update again after being able to download these two files. Game launches now! But my site password apparently isn't my in-game password. Is that resettable?

Guess so. Oh well. Maybe someone else will have an idea or a working site to download the update from.

A/V isn't blocking it, it would create alerts if it did so. The site is stating unreadable, from Chrome, Firefox and Edge. My hosts file is empty of any entries that would supersede DNS.

Cannot download from that link. Any browser I use states Network Error and won't download it. Is there an alternate location or download area?

Deleted that folder, no change in result when launching directly from the Net-7 directory (LaunchNet7 or Net7proxy). .Net 3.5 and 4.8 are both installed already. Net7proxy.exe causes them "Server failed to respond to login attempt" LaunchNet7.exe launches, but clicking Play results in the error shown previously - Incompatible version of Net7Proxy. Latest version is 2.42, then the server error above. Is there a newer version of the LaunchNet7 somewhere other than from it updating itself? It's still v1.9.9 from anything I've downloaded. Maybe it should update itself, but I guess that is where I am getting stuck since it won't.

Sorry to be such a pain with this, just can't figure out what I am doing wrong here. Seems pretty simple and straightforward - it was before when I tried last (granted, it has probably been a couple years).

LaunchNet7.exe from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Net-7\bin directory nd then doing Launcher > Reset Updates brings me Capture attached. Second screenshot is where it errors, then the next is the result after the error, which then takes me to the original problem. And now LaunchNet7 no longer works, until I remove all of it, and reinstall from scratch.

eandb_demo.exe installed (run as admin used) Net-7_Install.exe completed (run as admin used) First update running as in Capture image. (shortcut set to run as admin) Second launch after completion in CaptureB and CaptureC image.

Appreciate the idea, but that takes me back to the original "Can't run on this PC" issue. I am noticing however, that LaunchNet7 is v1.9.9 no matter what I have updated. Is it supposed to be updating itself to v2.2.0 or is there another download/update for it separately?

Rip/replace has helped, so that's good. But now the launcher generates an error when I hit Play (after it fully updated), stating Incompatible version of Net7Proxy, latest version is 2.42. (then a Server Failed to respond to login attempt message)

Yes, and I am an admin as well (but used the Run as administrator option). I will strip it all and try again, to be safe.

Thanks -however, my machine is already up to date (other than Win10, Version 20H2 update). I wouldn't think that is the culprit. I did manage to download the game client, installed fresh, installed Net-7 launcher fresh, and it launches, updates the client once - then any launch after that (where it did create an installation error that previous posts say to Continue through), causes Windows 10 to say "This app can't run on your PC - to find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher".

Just wondering if this is still alive. Haven't been back in a long time, and the game doesn't run anymore. Went to download to start over, but the game client doesn't download, only think I can get is the Net7 Unified Installer - which installs and allegedly updates, but as soon as it does, Net7Launcher then fails to run on Win10 ver 2004. Was hoping it still worked and I just need to find the right tweak.

Thanks!  Just making sure to report back in - both machines are working successfully with the Prototype Reorder option checked....now I am looking for Oguns. MWaahhahahahhahaha.

I will post back again later- but either the Prototype Reorder solved the issue or the update/system reboot (if that was performed) today seems to have solved it. I was able to play for about 30-45 minutes without issue this afternoon.   Thank you, Stevinium!  And thanks, Kyp, for pitching in. :)

I have not, I will try that now. Sorry if I missed the memo on checking that - I've been away for quite some time. - Well, there's a content update taking place right now, I will check it later today/tonight. As well as the update put out today.

I can give it a shot, but I am using the same Cisco hardware firewall I've been using for years- and before a few player wipes I was playing fine.  Agreed - it has been a LONG time since I played last, on the same machine(s), but I wouldn't expect this much difference (and if it was ISP, I would expect it to be more intermittent. It's not the best, but it's not *always* bad. :-)  It's a bad comparison, but my Xbox One and PS3 online game just fine.  I'd hate to have to completely reinstall, but I might, just to try it.   And I am not in Luna anymore, but again...I can play for 4-5 minutes (wired or wireless, makes no difference), then it just bogs down so bad as to be unplayable.  I do appreciate the responses, though.

Two separate computers (both Win7 - one 32-bit (older) and one 64-bit (fairly new very powerful), and I get the same oddity.  I can log in and play fine for about 4-5 minutes....then it just lags out so bad as to be almost unplayable.  A click takes 10-15 seconds to register, ships drift all over the place or miss warp paths or replay the same stop at destination scene three or four times.  Shut down client, start it all up again, log back in, repeat.  Tried a bunch of stuff like different resolutions (which is also why I started it up on second pc, it is much more powerful in all aspects), even DNS servers, turning off A/V or any other scanning...easily repeatable. My ISP is not the best, so I suspected that a bit, too...but it is reproducible even when my ISP is having a good day.  I know it is not lag on the servers, everyone I have spoken to in-game is not experiencing it- but it is odd that I can play fine for a bit, then thunk...lag city.   Have loved E&B since well before it went sunset- just wish I could figure this out to keep playing. :)
