Issues, Workarounds & Localization

A few days ago (3/22/2014) I started having launcher problems. I searched the forums and found that if I just ran the eve.exe out of the bin folder then i could bypass the launcher entirely and this solved that problem.

Then the next day (3/23/2014) when I started the launcher, I got "Offline Mode".
I started the eve.exe to go directly to a login screen, Tranquility Status: Unknown.
Attempting to log in resulted in "Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong."

I tried running the repair tool, as this had usually worked in the past, but "errors occurred"

I then did some digging into these forums looking for more information, and learned the IP address of the Tranquility server
Went into CMD and pinged the address

Ping 87.237.38.200

pinging 87.237.38.200 with 32 bytes of data:

I have since attempted: ipconfig /renew

Opening port 26000 in windows firewall
doesn't work
Uninstalling and reinstalling the entire game
doesn't work
Turning off my anti-virus
doesn't work
turning off my windows firewall
doesn't work
turning off both
doesn't work
tracert 87.237.38.200
the first request times out
every request after that is my ISP's address.


I don't know what to do now.
