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 15.17.0 Release Notes
New Features
  • Added functionality for missions to track individual contribution upon killing a target.
  • The loot calculation for creatures with shared loot is now based on each avatar’s input, rather than damage. (Optimal loot is calculated based on the performance of all avatars involved in the creature kill).
  • It is now possible to loot creatures when alone in a team.
  • Input spent on explosive destructibles that damage an enemy now contribute to loot returns.
  • Removed several team settings.
  • Improved team healing loot distribution.

Fixes
  • As a general rule, it is no longer possible to conduct avatar-to-avatar trades when inside global instances.
  • Fixed an issue causing the upper body of some creatures to disappear.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Trade Terminal window to turn black in some situations.
  • Fixed an issue preventing entry to an instance if one’s PED card balance was lower than the value of the required instance key.
  • Fixed an issue causing glitches when entering the Battle Simulator with Boxing Gloves equipped.
  • Fixed an issue causing a client freeze when interacting with the Repair terminal in some situations.
  • Fixed an issue causing higher than intended vehicle speeds when using certain movement action combinations (i.e. forward and strafe).

MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. 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.

Entropia Universe Did Not Shut Down Normally
I woke up this morning and started a crafting run and left the pc running and went to work. I did not realise there was a VU / patch today and when I came back from work i tried to log on and received "Entropia Universe Did Not Shut Down Normally", I would post the image of the error report but apparently i do not have permission to add attachments to a pcf post, it's a conspiracy, anyway I can run EU on my 5 year old laptop fine so it is a PC issue, any ideas - running 2015 Republic of Gamers laptop I7 - 8Gig ram and Nvidia Gforce GTX 860 M
