Entropia Universe Version Updates

This archive preserves the complete history of Entropia Universe Version Updates, documenting the technical evolution of the platform and the development of its virtual worlds. Each update represents a snapshot in the ongoing transformation of the universe, from early system foundations and gameplay mechanics to major graphical upgrades, planetary expansions, and platform milestones.

The release notes collected here provide insight into how the real-cash economy virtual universe has evolved over time — including engine transitions, interface redesigns, new systems, balance adjustments, and community-driven improvements. Together they form a chronological technical record of the changes that shaped Entropia Universe from its early years to the modern era.

Use the search function to explore specific Version Updates, locate historical features, or trace how particular systems and mechanics have developed across different eras of the universe.

Some Version Update release notes are currently missing or temporarily unavailable due to the migration from PlanetCalypsoForum to the new Entropia Forum. PlanetCalypsoForum historically served as a primary archival source for Entropia Universe VU documentation, and some older or recent VU posts may not have migrated cleanly or may still be unavailable while the forum transition settles.

Entropia Universe 19.10.5 Release Notes

New Features

  • You can now choose which graphics processor the game uses in the options.

  • The radar can now show your frame rate instead of ping. Right-click under the planet name to switch, and the game remembers your choice.

  • The Auction Sell window now opens as its own movable panel, so you can keep browsing while you prepare items to sell.

  • You can now compare items you are about to sell against the full list of current offers and orders without losing your draft prices.

  • You can now select and copy text and game links from received messages in the Message Center.

Changes

  • Adding items to the Auction sell queue is faster. Left-click an item in compact view to add it, or use the green plus button.

  • Listing several items on the Auction in a row is now faster.

  • The mining finder is easier to read. It has a solid background, the flickering scanner effects are gone, and it can be resized and remembers its size.

  • Windows have a cleaner, consistent frame style, and the distracting opening animations and map sweep effects are gone.

  • Loot notifications show up immediately again, so crafting results are always current. How many fit on screen depends on your UI scale.

  • Typing in chat and receiving bursts of messages is smoother.

  • Moving several items between containers at once is faster.

  • The health bar of your locked target stays visible at the top of the screen when the creature’s head is above your view.

  • Action bar items now react to mouse clicks the same way they react to key presses, including held actions.

  • The map now shows land areas at every zoom level.

  • The map stops following your avatar when you drag it manually.

  • The exchange company detail window now remembers its own size.

  • Hovering over items in containers now shows the full item tooltip.

Fixes

  • Fixed a crash when logging out to the menu. (Two separate causes were fixed.)

  • Fixed some graphics cards being wrongly reported as unsupported at startup.

  • Fixed Auction messages not showing the quantity sold.

  • Fixed messages sometimes reappearing after being deleted in the Message Center.

  • Fixed the Message Center showing an empty page after you delete the last messages on a page.

  • Fixed waypoint markers moving out of place when the UI scale changes.

  • Fixed error messages appearing while typing /wp and /waypoint commands.

  • Fixed the profession progress bar spilling outside its column.

  • Fixed missing button click sounds in the Message Center.

VU 19.10.4 September 29, 2026
Entropia Universe 19.10.4 Release Notes

New Features

  • Three new grinding chains have been added for Fishing Gear, Fishing Attachments and Gastronomy. Each chain runs across three tiers (Fishing Gear Gadget 1-3, Fishing Attachment Gadget 1-3 and Gastronomy Batch 1-3), where each tier is built from the one below it, giving a lower cost route to skill progression while consuming common resources. The level 3 starters can be bought from the Fishing Terminal for 20 Daily Tokens each. Higher tier blueprints for the two fishing chains are discovered through crafting, and higher tier recipes for Gastronomy are discovered through cooking. Each chain also has its own set of limited Recycle blueprints and recipes, which convert stacks of the top tier product back into Shrapnel

Changes

  • Fish with a preferred bait are far less restrictive now. Not using the preferred bait carries a smaller penalty than before, while using it still gives a significant bonus to your chances.

  • Fishing luck has been reworked. Luck now has a stronger effect on rarer species, and is applied more consistently across casts

  • Fishing shallower than a species’ minimum depth now sharply reduces your chance of catching it rather than ruling it out entirely, but matching your lure to the species’ full depth is still strongly recommended for the best catch rates

Fixes

  • The Godly Coralfish Snack Recipe now requires the intended Snack Container 3 instead of Snack Container 1

  • Fixed an issue where the Snack Container 4 Blueprint, which was never intended for release, could be obtained and only produced Snack Container 1. It no longer drops, and any you already own are now Obsolete Snack Container 3 Blueprints that work the same as a regular Snack Container 3 Blueprint

  • Fixed an issue where “The boat claw” mission could not be completed if you spoke to Researcher Sandra Johnson while still collecting the boat parts.

  • Fixed plot and harvest markers drawing over the UI

  • Opening an order from the construction machine no longer lets your character move while the auction terminal is open

  • Material customisation now shows guaranteed full saturation as 100%

  • Fixed an issue where parts of the heads up display could cause blinking

TOULAN

Cuhof Armor Plate Upgrade

  • The Cuhof Armor Plates can now be upgraded to the following:

    • CUHOF Armor Plate II

    • CUHOF Armor Plate III

    • CUHOF Armor Plate IV

    • CUHOF Armor Plate V

  • Speak to the Armor Upgrade Merchant NPC for more info

  • Fixed incorrect item images persisting after graphics settings changed or the icon cache refreshed.

  • Removed the inappropriate condition bar from the PED Card.

  • Restored Shopkeeper sale-price tooltips.

HUD, chat and controls

  • Fixed chat flickering and lost keystrokes caused by repeated focus changes after pressing Enter or hovering.

  • Fixed empty Enter failing to release chat focus when the keep-focus option is disabled, and subscribed channels opening without the correct input channel.

  • Restored the previous mouse-mode and focus behaviour when tabbing in and out of the game.

  • Restored the ammunition-type icon beside the ammunition count.

  • Restored vehicle and mothership Structural Integrity bars.

  • Improved nameplate state labels, effect alignment and creature-level formatting.

  • Removed overhead nameplates from tamed pets.

  • Restored mission progress bars in the default tracker design and corrected progress-tooltip formatting.

  • Corrected radar north orientation and made heading-up radar and player-following map movement smoother.

  • Fixed radar transparency affecting markers, oversized trackers and misaligned terrain shading.

  • Fixed message-deletion confirmations failing to reopen after dismissal and pinned notes remaining stuck while loading.

  • Fixed the Open action being forwarded incorrectly as Close for selected world targets.

  • Improved loot-window resizing, saved sizing, quantity display and explanations of total and latest loot value.

  • Fixed loot presentation depending on the System chat tab. Repeated stackable loot now combines without redundant icon work, and popup sounds are triggered once per batch.

  • Fixed the Automatic crafting start control and fixed Session crafting’s maximum-attempt selection being incorrectly limited to 9,999.

  • Fixed clipped fertilizer controls in land management, missing rejection feedback and stale fertilizer inventory rows.

  • Improved mining-finder readability, restored scanning for finder-attached treasure caches and removed duplicate geographic-match labels.

  • Fixed the fishing Hook prompt remaining on Cancel during a bite and removed the empty progress line beside bobber markers.

  • Restored sharper in-world advertisements, fixed black screens with software UI rendering and corrected text visibility while editing ads. Increased the per-text-block allowance.

  • Added launcher options for GPU-accelerated UI rendering and GPU-rendered text. Saved rendering choices are no longer automatically switched off by the upgrade reset or crash counter.

Stability, textures and performance

  • Reduced unnecessary map rendering while idle.

  • Reduced memory overhead for in-world advertisement screens sharing the same playlist, and fixed associated cleanup and playlist-advancement issues.

  • Fixed crashes caused by UI updates arriving before their properties were ready.

  • Added checks for invalid UI-resource sizes and corrupt shader-cache entries to prevent excessive allocation and startup crashes.

  • Improved handling of content-download file-write failures so transient failures can be retried without immediately terminating the client.

  • Corrected skin-atlas texture channels that could make affected hats and hoods appear black, and preserved skin-material rendering when applying makeup.

Known Issues

Entropia Universe 19.10.1 Release Notes

Greetings Colonists,

Thank you for all of your feedback, thoughts and bug reports over the past week. We’ve been undergoing the biggest overhaul in UI, which isn’t just a reskin but a fundamental technology change in preparation for UE5. We’ve been looking at all the reports one by one, and we continue to fix, and implement changes based on this feedback so we can shape the UI around all of your preferences and build a UI with more functionality and customisation than ever before.

Many of the new changes and UI have new and deeper customisation options than were available in previous interfaces, so please take time to review the settings menu in full when logging in to see if there is a setting, option or preference you would prefer before reporting feedback.

We also strongly recommend pressing “Reset UI” in your settings given the new UI and changes.

Given the number of fixes in this patch as well, please read through the notes before posting or reposting older bugs or issues that may have been fixed. There will be a dedicated forum thread for reporting issues after this update.

VU 19.10.0 September 8, 2026
Entropia Universe 19.10.0 Release Notes

Avatars

  • NPCs have also been upgraded to the new avatar models while preserving their original appearances as closely as possible.

User Interface

  • Many windows have been updated and or reworked including windows such as Auction, Codex, Message Center and many more

  • Chat has been reworked to provide a cleaner and cleaner more readable and faster experience

  • AD screens has been reworked and now offers a wider range of customizability

  • Crosshairs and Rifle Scopes have been reworked, crosshairs now shift style between ranged, melee and mindforce

  • Performance and responsiveness of the new interface have been greatly improved

  • System and Video Memory footprint for the new user interface has been greatly reduced

  • Construction now provides an option to select how many entries to save as logs to reduce memory footprint for longer crafting sessions on lower end machines

Auction

  • Sell to Best Order: Sell queued items directly to the highest matching buy order, with price verification before confirmation.

  • Apply Lowest Comparable: Price items using the current lowest comparable buyout with a single click.

  • Market Information: Day, week, and month markup info and sales volume are displayed directly on each staged selling row.

  • Markup Entry: Enter prices as markup percentages instead of PED, with your preferred mode remembered between sessions.

  • Sell Queue: Prepare, configure, and batch-submit multiple listings inside a single selling queue with automatic stack-splitting.

  • Safeguards: Instant warnings within the Auction window protect against accidental underpricing or listing below market levels.

  • Quantum Set Capsule: Craft single-use containers to package and sell complete, inspectable item configurations (such as armor sets or weapon setups) as a single listing.

Map

  • Interactive 3D & 2D Modes: Explore terrain, settlements, destinations, and waypoints in real-time from an entirely new perspective.

  • Precise Location Tracking: Reworked technology presents more accurate positions for mission NPCs, dynamic events, and other key world activities.

Client Performance and Visuals

  • Large performance improvement in busy graphical areas. Static meshes and vegetation are now rendered as instanced batches instead of one by one, cutting per-frame CPU work by more than 60% in dense scenes. On our test machines, areas that used to dip to around 30 fps now run at 100 fps and above.

  • Smoother world: objects and level-of-detail changes now fade instead of popping, on every quality setting.

  • Frametime has been increased on all settings

  • Several stutters and hitches have been reduced or completely removed

  • Texture streaming has been enabled as an option under advanced settings to further reduce cpu bound texture loading

  • Shadows have been reworked on all settings providing a more realistic and performant experience on all settings

  • Low, Medium, High and Very High graphics have been reworked

  • Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) has been added to advanced graphical settings

Additional new Features

  • New profession rank titles have been added, extending progression all the way to level 1000

Changes

  • Tier-Rate Amplifiers now give a consistent Tier Increase Rate bonus based on the item’s maximum instead of its current rate, so their benefit no longer varies from item to item. This effectively means that the current amplifiers will give +20 to Unlimited items or +400 to limited items

  • The Ice Shield Chip’s cooldown has been adjusted to 15 minutes and now uses its own dedicated cooldown group

  • Raw fish caught while fishing can now be sold on the auction, and has its own auction category

  • Auction categories have been reorganized so that fishing catches, cooking-chain ingredients, and cooked foods are now sorted into clear, dedicated categories, making it easier to find and list them

  • Cooking recipes and blueprints are now organized in the auction into Cook, Nutritionist, and Provisioner sub-categories

  • Codex tracking slots are now counted per territory, so tracking creatures in one territory no longer blocks you from tracking on another

Bug Fixes

  • The Void Umbranoid Codex challenge now contributes to the Attribute Meta challenge as intended

  • Fixed an issue where the Void Umbranoid Codex challenge could appear twice, with rewards claimable from only one

  • Fixed an issue where the Codex icon could indicate an unclaimed reward that could not be found or claimed in any challenge

  • Fixed an issue where tracking entries in the Codex might block tracking on other planets

New Setting Recommendations

  • Medium settings are now recommended for low-to-medium performance hardware. If you previously played on Low, we encourage you to switch to Medium for an improved experience.

  • We strongly recommend keeping GPU-accelerated UI rendering enabled for optimal performance and interface responsiveness, even on integrated graphics cards. If you encounter any display issues, please update your graphics drivers first, as disabling this feature should be a last resort.

  • We also strongly recommend enabling MSAA (2x, 4x, or 8x) even on low graphics settings, as it significantly improves visual quality with minimal impact on framerate for most machines.

Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.
