Yes, but CCP have to raise the alert that there is a fault somewhere in the 'cloud'. So it is them.


I am working on a gamer-end fix using this software:

https://netbalancer.com


Like how you tune a home Broadband connection ( on a copper cable ) if you are getting a lot of errors then slow it down a bit.

Limiting exe.file to 350 kb/s up & down gives me a stable server connection, but clunky gameplay. I'm trying 700 kb/s at present. 1 MB/s was too fast for me, and I was dropped after 1 hour. 4mb/s just would not fly.


The game client tries to connect at the maximum speed. That is not always a good thing. Especially in a TCP-heavy game like EVE.

Dungeons & Dragons Online has a throttle built into the game client that allows you to control the speed that the client connects at, so CCP could build a fix here and fit it into the Launcher ( for example ).




Just a quick update on this one. The fastest I can let file.exe ( the EVE client, NOT the launcher ) run at is 450 kb/s up and down. That gives me a connection that hasn't dropped for 2 hours, and fairly smooth gameplay on a crappy laptop ( quad core, 8 gig, win 7, 4 yrs old ).

The Routing Gods are having a hissy-fit sure, but I still get my fix.



Happy flying :)

Donno works it for usual gameplay or not, but didnt work for character creation. Still get's DCed, cant create damned char. I havent so much time to test it for hours.
PS. I tired.
PPS. CCP, my favorite mmo dont gives me fun anymore just because of that fcing disconnects . And if that fix is real, can't you just fix your game client by yourself, not by your community?

Yeah, dcies still here, socket was closed when i was planning planet buildings.

I can now connect at full speed again. No need to throttle the game client to 450 kb/s anymore :)

I know it's against the EULA to quote GM communication, but I hope I'm in the clear to say that a ticket response I got admitted that this was caused by back-end changes at CCP, which they've now rolled back. I expect it is fine for everyone now.

fine for some. I'm still getting socket closure. not as bad as it was, but still unreliable. About every 45 minutes-2 hours there is a socket closure on at least one of my clients.

Get some Eve. Make it yours.

I had only 3-4 socked closed errors since they upgraded the servers in January, but today i had 2 within 1h and since the last socket closed error my client is acting weird, for exampe i cant open skill queue and everything is laggy.

Ill restart teh comp and veryfiy teh game cache.
EDIT: I have done the above and everything runs smooth again, but getting into game after character selection took 10-15s. Usually it takes only like 2s.

Why it feels random is sometimes your last-mile ISP doesnt have infrastructure to handle a lot of traffic and the data is dropped on the way from EVE to you.

i ve no more sockets closed. While i am always connected via cable to my internet box, i recently activated the wifi option on my box for some other device and deactivated it monday. This period is well correlated to my sockets closed problems. I ve not made any test to confirm or disconfirm but it might be an idea for some people having the same problem to test deactivating wifi even if they use their cable. maybe i ll test later.

or maybe ccp made a fix monday evening to sth.
