    Oh good, it's not just me then. Was about to try a reboot.

    If everyone's having this problem, I can't imagine it going too long without MA doing something about it!

    Here's a workaround... Start>Run (or WinKey+R)

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Entropia Universe\bin32\Entropia.exe" --run -fullscreen

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Entropia Universe\bin32\Entropia.exe" --run -windowmode

    Error. "Please log into Entropia using ClientLoader.exe"

    Good thought though Rick. Not working for me though.

    I just logged in (successfully) using the above method.

    Other members of my society were also able to login with that method.


    Without seeing what was going on, I can only suggest double-checking you have the arguments correct. Make sure run has 2 (two) dashes instead of one.

    Excellent Rick!

    Or in my case with WinXP, this worked:

    "C:\Program Files\Entropia Universe\bin32\Entropia.exe" --run -windowmode

    well it seemed to work for me, but I had the client loader open when I tried. OK that had no bearing as I just did that on my desktop without the client loader running. worked just fine there as well. Of course I could not copy paste as it is in a different location but I got the gist of it. Will try to log on now. Thanks Rick. +rep

    Right, you do need to use the actual folder path on your computer... If you're unsure what that is, you can use Entropia Tools to tell you (link in signature). :p

    But it defaults to Program Files. Tim's solution will work for any 32-bit version of Windows XP/Vista/7. If using 64-bit of anything, change it to my version above.

    Well I don't know if rebooted is the reason mine started working again, but I rebooted, and now I have a green launch button.

    Came back on its own on mine, too (without the reboot).. I suspect a network issue on their end.

    Regardless, this is a good workaround to keep handy. ;)
