EVE General Discussion

Normally I don't have any problems, but today I'm flying through ls and i notice it is taking a lot longer to warp to gate than normal, like 3 minutes longer. Then I finally arrive at the gate, and can't warp through. So I figure reset the client. Escape/Quit Game....
Nothing happens. I repeat just incase my click didn't register for some reason still no response. then I ctrl-alt-del and force close the client, STILL NO RESPONSE... about 3 minutes after using the task manager to force close, it actually closes.

After about 10 minutes from the initial hang the client finally closes I can log in...I'm still alive so all good. Then it happens again but this time I'm scanning and the scanning never stops. I moved back to hs and it happens again. I physically move my computer to a different location and use a different plug and it happens again.

I understand that this is probably a timeout issue, but the client should be able to handle them without crashing or going into terminal hangs. Seriously, if the client would pick back up from a timeout that would be fine, but since it is going to just hang and crash anyway, can you move up the timeline so it crashes sooner? Especially if the taskmanager doesn't want to hurt the Eve client's feelings with a force close.

Of course this could be user error somewhere. If so I'm sure GD will enlighten me in oh so many ways.

My game client is also exhibiting similar signs of instability, with the added vexation of not being able to close it with Task Manager . There's a screw loose. I've reported it - if enough people do so, CCP will get on it.

+1000 for me since Rubicon.

Still, the extremely useful GMs.... oh no wait, I better not continue on this line. A ban will follow if I do.

I have cleared the cache multiple times to no effect. Run the repair tool to no effect. Tried changing the time I play just in case it was a local internet thing. No effect.

No difference on any other program or any other problems with network connections.

But since Rubicon, nothing but trouble (and not a graphics thing either).

Still, those useful GMs.... no, really I better stop here.

I get this 4 or 5 times a day at least becasue I often have to connect via a cell phone as internet.

Until recently it was not an issue as I just left my drones on aggro in case of disconnect but with the new expolit where gankers shoot your MTU to trick your drones into aggro them I can no longer do this and have lost one ship on disconnect already this week :D Not to matter its just ISK have plenty.



Anyway ... I cannot blame CCP for my poor connection. That is definitely my issue.

However here a couple of observations:


- when the client times out everything appears normal but anything you click on or try and change simply has no effect
- unlike normal timeout behaviour, the game does not usually come back if you restore the net connection, it simply just waits a minute or two and then shuts down, regardless of whether the connectivity is restored or not
- the launcher does something similar, if your net disconnects as you hit play the launcher simply locks up. It never actually shuts down or finally connects, it just sits there with a locked up half drawn screen forever

I came here expecting tears, found some but no free stuff so that was a disappointment.

Maybe you should get a new internet provider?!?

No that is normal, and if your drones are on aggressive it seems they keep selecting new targets as well.

Similar experience with soft disconnects.

Had to update Norton firewall, wait for Christmas, and hope that all would go well by cursing at the machine.

Two things:
1. Mine was account associated because it did not happen to other accounts when I had multiple clients running, and it was always the same account.
2. It was temporary. A couple of days and it passed. Opened a ticket, got a response on recording something for them to look at, but nothing after that to record.

Had this happen the other day, I eventually just petitioned it online and didn't log that account back on. Everything worked fine after down time but that wasn't much help at the time.

The DNS A record IP is being routed through sweden. all your stuff is now on wikileaks and/or the NSA/MI6 databanks

yes, I've seen that alot, especially after clicking on ads to grow or shrink body parts of any sort.
