I play EvE using a shared wifi connection in the building I live in, and hardly ever get closed sockets running multiple clients. Suggest OP's issue is local.


If you would have read or understood my post my issue is that my connection has ping spikes every 5-10mins and every single time this happens I get socket closed in eve, however other online games such as battlefield 4 have no problems. Surely a 64 player match of battlefield 4 is more demanding than 5 people in local in eve.


I have a colleague that I used to work with complaining of a similar issue and after a lot of investigation it boiled down to him having his modem/router on the opposite side of a wall to his microwave oven and every time the oven was used he got dc'd but he didn't realise until he moved his modem/router.
Maybe it can be as simple as that or could be your isp/route.


Regardless of the issue I'm having with my wifi, my point is that other online games can stay connected during my ping fluctuations on the wifi, however eve will socket close every single time. I really cant remember a time I lagged out in eve for more than a few seconds, because when that happens its always socket closed even on my good wired in connection.

I am not seeing it as a coincidence that other games can stay connected and eve can't for only the last few months.

Keep in mind I've been playing since 2010, and on this work connection since then too. This only started happening a few months ago.


There have been numerous other posts with regard to this and I agree it does need a clarification from CCP.

The problem seems like its a client bug or eve server issue, not ddos. Let me explain:

At work I have to play eve off the wifi, and I get socked closed every 5mins on it because the connection ping spikes every so often. The issue is that eve immedietly kicks you out when this happens instead of waiting for your client to respond and catch up. I can play battlefield 4 on 64 player servers off this wifi connection and only get a tiny ping spike when this happens, but when I run eve I get socket closed every single time.

At home, on my lan and good connection I only get socket closed every few nights, and that may be from the ddos CCP is reporting, but the real problem is the fact the server will disconnect you the very second your ping fluctuates instead of waiting for your connection to catch up.

CCP I would like you to be honest and explain to your players that there is a client/server issue that started with one of these expansions a few months ago. Before this I never had any reoccuring socket closed problems.



Your job must not be very important if you can play eve at work. Also why do you play EvE at work, you know? I thought work was supposed to be you know for working?


Oh and on top of that. Work place environments do track where traffic goes to and occasionally will throw out a de-authiticator packet on you to drop your wifi connection.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

Can't you just pay your subs and not log in? You can go without socket closed for months. Try it.

Ok riddle me this batman

If you say your problem is based on your crappy connection at work, then with my multiple computers on my network only 1 computer will end up getting socket closed every hour at a specific time and not either of the other 2?

Well ... I think it's a noteworthy point.

Not sure it's not intended to kick out people with such spikes, though.

A desync is really bad.
Weird things happen then, but you still are in game.

It's better to get kicked when that happens.
