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.

Ignore that .. the number of available clicks automatically increases if you have more materials, nice job!
Can we get access to auction from contruction again, please? And be able to move the contruction screen off screen, so we can see what's going on.

How do we resize windows? Some of them are really big & take up nearly the entire screen. The message center, for example. So much wasted space in this window. Please tell me we can resize it.

Nope. Future update hopefully

Radar and chat can be resized right now. We will also be working on making more elements scalable for future releases/patches though, so it may come in the future.
 
The new UI looks really good! very easy to use and get back to my old key layout format, I like it a lot! great job MA!
 
We are currently working on solving multiple reported bugs and issues (big thanks to everyone contributing over in the bug/crash thread!)

The bug causing it to be impossible to use residue in crafting is high priority.
 
Only 26 lines @ auction instead of 30 before ... and I wonder where my 4 other sales went ... not in won ...

You are talking about us being able to resize windows here, i.e. scaleable. This needs to be a priority imho!
As for less clutter, I used to have the progress bar go partly off screen at the bottom because I knew what I was using thank you very much, so didn't need that bar at all. Now .... to add insult to the injury of not being able to move stuff partially off screen, you tell in large, stupid font letters at the top that this is the progress window = more wasted and annoying clutter. And that's just one window!!!

Yes, there are small things I like so far, but until I find workarounds for other things (or you patch stuff in) I'm not likely to be in the least bit happy.
 
@Ludvig|MindArk

Gray text on slightly darker gray background is a terrible choice (check auction...). Zero readability, this needs to be changed asap.

You did this to unify UI, but some panels display a grid (auction) and others to not (event list). Why? the grid helps a lot when processing visual data.

In general, please give us the option to display the grid again (urgently needed on the inventory and storage). The item icons snap to the grid anyway, so WHY HIDE IT? At this very moment when I open my inventory it just looks like an unorganized mess exclusively because there's no grid to help me.

Great VU, thank you.

That is actually a fantastic question. Where are the things i had listed and are now gone?
Click to expand...

This is a display bug only, no items are missing. The UI team is working on fixing it right now, and should be able to patch it very soon.
 
If I want to put a stack of a certain quantity on auction and split my stack into inventory or storage, it always starts with about 1/2 of the quantity I have instead of 0, really annoying.
 
I am quite surprised by the choice of Dark grey on light grey contrast chosen, when browsing for example auction:

Note that its only posted auctions. The things that I am interested in....

The collapse/expandable menu on the left seems to have got better contrast.

My eyes are hurting so badly after just an hour in game I decided to log off.

Other days, even if I do not have anything specific im doing, I can stay online and just read chats and browse auction. That seems long gone now, simply because of contrast.

Chapter 4, contrast:


It's funny how his example of "not focus" is looking just like the auctions. Eh?

We are planning on releasing a patch soon which will increase chat opacity, as well as fix the bugs related to auction listing visibility and residue checks.

This will be a client patch, so the servers will not restart, but you will have to log out and back in to apply the patch. There will be a message in the game when this happens.
 
This is so funny to me.

There is so much missing, bugged functionality and bad design choices.

It's like they didn't have a reference point to work from (the old UI).

They should have at least had some junior employee go through the entirety of the old UI and list out all the functionality by window prior to even starting to design the new UI. Were there any flowcharts made of how things in the UI function? Heck, you could have even fed the codebase to an AI model and prompted it to "Search the codebase and list out all functionality per UI window" and that would have produced list (albeit not perfect) but something to help guide your decision making.

When you do revamps you're supposed to make it better, not worse. If some functionality was removed you should be explaining that choice somewhere for your users and to do that you need to actually know yourselves what functionality you had prior to the revamp.

Who was the project manager on the UI update? Fire that person.

Can we please have an option to choose if we want to use the old or new UI?
Click to expand...

You already have that option.

However, the option to choose if we use the old or new UI is not available.
 
I have seen it mentioned in a few places that the new VU does not run on Windows 11? Can this be addressed officially?

I run EU on my Steamdeck with Windows 11, so this worries me...
