Starting this past week end, I can not play the game for more than five minutes. The game just disconnect me, and even when I am playing it mostly does not load things like character or item info. Even opening mail is a problem, which is not good because I did ask for help, but I can not stay in the game long enough for messages.

This has been problem off and on since I purchase game last year. But this week is worst.

It is not my internet because it say I have mostly 80ms latency when playing. Also, I have firewall allowing Eve, and have even tried with firewall off, but still does not fix it. I do not know why it is doing this? But, I also do not know much about computers... Ugh

I think this is info needed?

It has been six months since I have played this game and this is still happening. It only happens in Mac version, and not when I use boot camp. It also seem to happen at night when more people play.

I am using wireless internet, so I will use the cable and see if that changes things?

I like this game very much, but with the disconnecting so much I want to cancel my both accounts. So far I haven't had much help except "there's more people playing at those times, so deal with it."

Last night I has 4 DCs in a row. Each one also came with TS dropping and the wireless signal going away. I cycled power to my cable modem and wireless router and the issue went away. All the DCs happened when I opened an inventory window. Its like Eve does something that upsets the router, and the router was in some mode where a small upset would cause it to drop wireless. Resetting the router allowed it to accept the nonsense Eve sent through it.
