Paraleo: Well you shouldn't have to use tools to play it if you bought it at this day and age.
It should have proper support by default.
Else it shouldn't be sold.
I don't understand why these patches are necessary for multiplayer, isn't Gameranger working anymore? It used to, although it was many many years ago that I tried it
Yes, GameRanger support this - no additional downloads except GameRanger itself.
Also there is WON2 aka NeuWON (not related to SteamlessCS WON2) for EE1+ (additional downloading required).

And ofc nothing this - of that two sticky threads - is needed for both EE1\EE2.

In any way, Paraleo should go to consoles market and play only new games there. Buying each new generation of consoles and re-editions\installments of conveyor games. PC gaming not for lamers who cant do two additional mouse clicks to make games work properly on user side.

In Linux with wine I try to play the first empire earth of gog, but it closes after 10 minutes more or less, can anyone play it on Linux? if i knew the authors i would advise them to make it open sorce, like 0ad or to create a new edition because it is too good a game, if it worked correctly!
On linux I solved this : https://www.gog.com/forum/empire_earth_series/empire_earth_gold_edition_on_linux_with_wine_closes_after_a_few_minutes

CyanideBlayd: I did a bit of digging and here's what I found:

The NeoEE.msi contains a binary called PAYLOAD (.exe):

PAYLOAD (.exe)
SHA256: 19943fe1b6d22d2b585d130da4808ee82485f41b96a76a69ccd3fb2c5847012d
VirusTotal: Detection ratio: 39/68

Digging more into that PAYLOAD exe, it contains more files, one of them being "New Project.res" which is really a 7zip file. There are many files inside this "New Project.res" 7zip file, but the interesting one is authtools.exe.

Authtools.exe seems to be considered bad because it tries to connect to VBOXSVR[dot]ovh[dot]net which is considered a malicious site according to some. See here (bah, I'm not allowed to post links): threatcrowd[dot]org[slash]domain.php?domain=vboxsvr[dot]ovh[dot]net as this site says "Most users have voted this as MALICIOUS"

VirusTotal shows a bunch of .exe with porn filenames (example: WhateverPorn.mpg.exe) that also connect to VBOXSVR.ovh.net.

So as much as I'd like to play Empire Earth online with friends, I can't trust this. If the author can explain why this tool is needed, or better yet, remove it, then I think the anti-virus community might not see this installer as bad.
This is my problem with it. Is anyone on here using this patch without problems?
Bonjour,
