Issues, Workarounds & Localization

I had the same problem, and it turned out it was a Ziggo problem.
I got disconnected pretty much every hour.

Ziggo is constantly busy with their network and configuring the modems for future use of WiFi-spots, and by doing this they mess something up in the modem settings.

So if you are a Ziggo user, all you have to do take the power of your modem for a couple of minutes and restart it.
Then you should have no problems anymore.


It worked for me.

Well i don't think I am a "Ziggo" user, but the reset (backed up by an Eve cache cleanout) did the trick. Its still weird it seems to only affect Eve when it happens, but if all it takes is to power down/up on the router its not exactly the end of the world.

Managed to run all accounts simultaneously on one machine for several hours, and multiples split across two with no issues after the digital enema.

Thx.

Been having this issue on 2 of my 3 PCs for over a week now...

NO response whatsoever to my petition.

Testing the 3724 port atm....will see what happens.

Im also having this problem. Note: this ONLY happens to my laptop, not to my pc who is next to it.

The weird thing is, it seems to be a problem with some packet loss, but my pc and laptop are both connected to the same hub.
I've made a pingplotter from my connection to eveonline.com

In the bottem section you can see the standing up red lines? Well, these are packet loss lines, as in 100% packet loss.
And theres ALOT of them.

Now Im guessing its something on my laptop, since my pc is fine, but I cant see how this would work. The packets are lost outside of my network for my laptop, but not for my pc.

I hope someone can shed some light on it.

I have the same issue

Can't afk the game if it logs out every 5 minutes

Tried the above (changing network settings to disable interrupt moderation) and still getting disconnected constantly.

Running pingplotter, I am having no packet losses and an average ms of 60-70. Still getting disconnected, without the pingplotter showing any difference.

Have tried resetting my router, clearing my cache, reinstalling network card. My cable is not damaged, and I am getting annoyed :p

What I don't understand is that I rarely disconnect on all my accounts at the same time. I usually run 4 accounts, and generally never dc on more than 2 at a time.

Yesterday I had no problems, stayed online all day with no disconnects. The day before I could not stay online for more than 5-10minutes, today its the same thing.

Nothing on my end has changed (that I know of). Using the same pc, same router, same everything. Not changed any settings in game or in windows.

Okay for the sake of variety: I get the closed socket error most during incursions. Jus enough to stop me making ISK. I'm in the UK on Virgin media for my wifi. And after very slow and careful reading of instructions I was able to change the port to 3724. I'm going to attempt to clear the cache then I'm heading back into the game. I will add to this post to let you know how I did.

I do have the issue at home as well as in the office (hrhrhr).

but most often at home when I run two clients.

and I confirm: it's annoying.

Please do something about it. I honestly doubt that it's a pc/network or other issue on my side. Everything else runs smoothly, just not Eve.

And even Eve works every now and again without flaw.

Another possible fix: There is another active thread on this subject. And I have looked through both of these for solutions.

One of my computers started doing a lot of disconnect after the Tueday 30th Server reset, while the older computer has never done it. 1st off it was not my ISP as one puter was fine and the other trash.

Someone said to look in my system events, and that was the tip that helped me fix it.
(Via Computer --> Manage --> Event Viewer --> System Tools ---> Windows Logs -->System and filter for critical level events)

Some of my services were put on delayed startup, and in the case of my Nvidia updater it was starting after 30 minutes. Naturally when I have a disconnect I do normal stuff like rebooting the computer to refresh it. And that then started the 30 min timer on that update service again. The updater generated an error in the logs because it could not log onto some NVidia server for an update because something had screwed a password field. It was also within a second of the "socket closed" client closed error from Eve.

Put simply a bad service and updater from Nvidia sent a ping of junk like an error log that made Eve think it was not looping with the client, when it just needed to wait a second more or something.

Fixed the Nvidia drivers via uninstall, and update and the socket problem seems better.

My tip is to Google for a site on performance boosting with info on what services and procedures are actually needed on a gaming rig, there are many windows services that simply chew system resources and create more things to go wrong. An example being I don't have a printer on my gaming rig so the printer spooling services are disabled.
