EVE General Discussion

ANY other game? Do you mean you've tried them all or that the one other game you've tried worked fine?

Without having any idea what the problem is how can you possibly decide that it's CCP's responsibility?

It's actually quite legitimate that sometimes CCP might be able to do something about things like this - some emails, some telephone calls, maybe a meeting, and it can be sorted out.

Who knows whether this current bout of glitches is one of those cases though, I don't.

And every other game you play... are the servers located in the same location as CCPs?
Do your packets take the same route, through the same backbones, owned by the same tier 1s, with the same peering arrangements, as they do when going to Eve?

No?

Not exactly relevant, then.

Better, I think: You buy a new car and it runs great. While driving down the road one day, you come to a river crossing and the bridge is out. You send a nastygram to the car manufacturer and insist that they do something about the bridge.

You never have this problem while driving your other cars to other places. Still an imperfect analogy, but yeah, expecting CCP to fix any and all transit issues is exactly this stupid.

Restart or reset your router/modem. I had that problem and doing this solve the problem.

What everyone who has these issues expects CCP to do is make Eve less sensitive to internet issues. We all know its possible because other games are not so sensitive.

"If architects built buildings the way programmers wrote code, one woodpecker would destroy civilization."

And that is what CCP has done. They have written client and server code that cannot deal with problems. We want them to write proper code, just like other game writers.

Edited a post to conform to this rule. Please do not dodge the profanity filter.

Thanks for all you comments.

Some helpful and some about as good as my EVE connection atm. I have reset my modem/router and contacted my ISP. I have used Pingtracer etc and re-installed my entire client again. Logged in again this morning and within 2 minutes my account crashed with the same bloody error.

So, please excuse my bitterness and snappy replies to peeps trying to help out but i have not received a reply from my petition i sent 6 days ago to CCP and after doing everything i now know to fix the problem, am about to smash my computer and peripherals and go back to playing outside like we used to do before the interweb.

I will, however, check this post from time to time just in case a lvl 90 wizard has found a spell to fix my Game.


That is all.

How ironic.

The only thing i have heard from the game REPS in the last week is not to make up words with numbers And symbols to cover how greatly upset i am.<- INSERT CURSE WORDS THERE. Nice work.

At this point, after several years of this error popping up, one would think: "what about adding some description or exact error code (i.e. he underlying Windows API error) so that players and CCP can pinpoint those general issues into specific issues? And maybe discern the possible game bugs from players side issues?

No, it's too easy. Let's leave a catch-all general error and leave the players to create threadnoughts that are never answered!
