This release includes major fixes related to the recent connectivity issues on both the client and server side. These fixes should greatly improve performance for those participants who were still experiencing connectivity and performance issues. For the best Entropia Universe experience, please make sure to use best available internet connection available. 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.

Comedy update... I didn't have issues before the patch. After patching, I lost connectivity after 5-10 mins just now. Avatar hadn't even gone into AFK emote. Extensive testing my arse. They've just made things worse! Wistrel
