    Server is down and in process of being rebuilt  stand by for further info from devs as to when it will be back online,  the server site had a major attack that took us down

    It is what it is and just thinking how many people will go on a ENB marathon when the server is back up, maybe Woody will be a pal and open the public raid server and spawn all the raids and let us have a free for all lol would that be sweet......ROFL......

    Very interesting idea,  however if i spawned every raid at the same time in the Public Raid sector, the Lag would probably cause the game to crash,  the lag can be horrendous on a couple of the raids as it is,  that being said I could spawn each raid one at a time as each spawned raid has been completed,

  3. the net-7 launcher (installer) and the EnB Demos are usually available on the NET-7.org (portal page) under main then the downloads section, which is currently down probably until the server is fully back on line. Be patient  the Dev Staff is working all of their available time to revive and Recover the game and servers,

  4. I would have been on line today on TS3 but due the high winds and weather we are getting here the power was flickering all day so I turned everything off and sat out the wind storm part with everything turnoff,   I am back on now

  5. My Self  I am hammering the forums now that they are back,  perusing the various Social Media EnB Emulator Pages, looking for updates,  play uncountable Games on Mahjongg and solitaire and one older game that i played when EA shut ENB down (Vendetta Online) till the Emulator was in testing then I have been here, I have been n the kitchen and in front of the4 grill a little bit more than i normally am.

  6. Navigate to the game directory then navigate to the EnBConfig subdirectory, Then find the EnBConfig nd run it,  then Right click on the executable ,and select properties  and select it to run as Administrator and run the System Compatibility  test (near the top of window)  select which ever version of windows that it says to run  as,  then answer the question to keep the selection as yes  then click on the EnBConfig  executable file, also if you want in full screen or window select or deselect "Windowed Mode" Selected will run in a Window,  then select your resolution using the slider bar and run the performance test after each adjustment, if the the resolution is as desired then all you is press ok and its set in game while you in the EnBConfig at the top of the window there is a sound tab, click on it and run the sound tests to ensure you can hear the game music and sound effects.

  7. Navigate to the ENB game folder on your hard drive,  then go to the EnbConfig sub folder  the find the EnbConfig executable , right click and select properties then set to run as admin and also the compatibility run the checker and take the selection for compatibility,  if you want to run full screen uncheck run as windowed on the EnB config when you run it,  make sure you run the resolution test and select the screen resolution that fits your viewing pleasure. also ,Make a shortcut  the config program on your desktop.

     

  8. When mining wait until the last "lootable" ore/object is in your hold before targeting the next Asteroid/gas cloud/hulk, you will get the next nearest lootable/mineable object, if your pushing the X key multiple time you doing it to fast.  if you see an imploding Resource object you targeted to quick.

     

  9.  

    the Demo is the original EA/.Westwood install disk image,  back in the original live  2000 to 2004  when you installed the demo it would go to file planet to verify the image coded was valid  and then once confirmed it would continued the install,  since EA discontinued support and shut down EnB in 2004  all file planet does is say yeah go ahead,  Per agreement with EnB  we can not change this or make any changes to the actual Game core or Game engine, Since this game is over 20 years old  the graphics and Game play are not to the holding level of more current games, and while you can play solo,  the games original intent was for group play with the different players and professions each bringing something different to the group.  

     

    if you follow the install procedures that are listed here in the forums and also in the FAQ's on the Net-7.org (portal page) the game does install very smoothly and quickly, once install you will need to install the Net-7 launcher, as the EA launcher bundled with the game WIL NOT WORK, it points to the old EA server, You must run the Net-7 Launcher to start playing the Game,   on you initial run it will run updates for the net-7 launcher  once that's completed just follow the onscreen prompts to update the EnB client,  once that is done, it will take a while ,  you can run the game..

     

     

  10. also check the following items  the Net-7 launcher executable, the EnB Client, and EnbConfig,  ensure that they are running as administrator rights and check the compatibility to at least winxp sp3. this should take care of some or all of your issues,  and then check your antivirus and Firewall software to allow these programs access and free pass to ensure that their not flagged as an issue program.  

  11. PLEASE DO NOT POST ANYTHING but server status, and we only need one server status post we all get the notification when someone posts,  and some of us are trying to sleep.  every post pings my computers and my cell phones ,  also no conversations on this thread,  we know the server is down  and it will be posted when it comes back up  no need to keep saying its down, WE KNOW, and it may be in work, every time you post it pings us and we have to stop what we are doing to see what it was, So only one post one time  Please.
