Entropia Version Update postponed

We've found a few annoying bugs in the release that were scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday March 18, and are therefore forced to postpone the VU for at least one day.

Fixed Issues:

• Fixed several issues with client and server instability.

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.

New features/adjustments:

• A new planet “Toulan” has been introduced to Entropia Universe. The planet Toulan is in beta stage until further announced; press release and marketing activities will follow soon after release.
• It is now possible to enable/disable live streaming audio in the options menu.
• Live streaming audio and area themed music no longer play simultaneously.
• Auto target functionality is now disabled in PVP areas.
• The “Summon Claim” feature can only be used once per claim.
• The time for a creature corpse has been lowered to 10 seconds for 1-4 corpses to a minimum of 1.66 seconds for 10 corpses. Time scales linearly.
• Nyx Space Station has been renamed to “Toulan Space Station” and relocated to Planet Toulan space.

Bug fixes:

• Ad screens and PC content now display the correct character format.
• Fixed an issue with the guest list not loading properly when there are more than 100 players listed.
• Fixed an animation issue with the Portable Trade Tool.
• Improved client stability.

Known Issues:

• 3d view port showing items in the trade terminal and in item info view are not working correctly.

These pills will enable you to loot creatures automatically within a certain radius for a set amount of time and the effect will persist after you log out. Auto-loot pills have a minimum skill requirement of five in paramedic and are considered luxury items.
• Wave spawn events will now reset without restart delay time if the first wave is not completed and/or the area is clear of players.
