Well... haven't had this before. 8 accounts now, multiple clients running on same machine. Until this most recent hot fix everything has worked great. Now I cannot remain connected on one (1) client or eight (8) clients. It's random and doesn't affect everything all at once. Usually hammers some or all of my clients and regardless of file repair, tracert showing no losses of connection etc, there is no solid explanaition. If this is a solidly recurring issue like I've seen from reading through this forum post, it's safe to say it will NOT be worth my time to continue playing this game and spending money on accounts if I'll be wasting half my time trying to reconnect and hoping like hell I don't die on field due to a socket close.

Fixed mine a month and a half ago.

My issue was my ISP. It took them 2 weeks to solve the problem and haven't had closed socket error.

However now I'm getting a proxy server didn't connect issue. Unrelated but it's annoying as crap.

http://clip2net.com/s/4O3W8p and thanks to this error, the ship was lost as it knocked out of the fleet and the game. Within 7 minutes, it was impossible to get into the game, it is the client is guilty again?

Today the same Error again, both Client had this error.
But this time with Constant Ping ( ping -t www.eveonline.com ) and Teamspeak 3 connected on the background.

Isnt this exactly what im suggesting by having a ping running to the server. It pings every 15ms so thats a constant connection and im still getting socket closed errors. Ive tried the team speak way and that doesnt work either. So is there any other way?

Same here.

Playing other MMO's, and there is no problems with the connection, same with Teamspeak.

So there must be the problem by CCP or some of there ISP.

And I cleaned the DNS cache twice, nothing helped.

It doesn't help anything, only increase network load, making situation worse for everyone.

Increases the load on the line? 64kb's of data - dear god best upgrade those lines.

So do you have an answer to the last point on my comment about another way to fix the problem? As creating a workaround means there is a problem to work around so im confused as to why there is still an issue outstanding.

The "another fix to the problem", which is not a fix, but merely a workaround, was posted on a previous page, and referenced multiple times. Too lazy to find it?

At this time, I'm almost certain, that whatever is causing it, lies somewhere in the interprocess operation. I get socket closed alot, but only when my PC was running for some time.
When I reboot, it is gone and copuld stay fine for hours. Still, disabling checksum offloading helps. I was unable to stay online for any prolonged period of time without that.

Just wanted to touch base... I have been playing with NO disconnects since I started doing following. That was back on March 4th. I have been playing for hours at a time with this workaround with no issues at all.



#524 Posted: 2013.03.04 20:42 | Report
So I have stumbled across something that has worked for me the last 2 days with NO disconnects at all..

I have been running Ping Plotter against CCP server IP 87.237.38.200 with the following settings-

Sampling= Unlimited
Trace Interval= 1 sec
Samples to include= ALL

I am running all 3 of my accounts on the same system with no Socket Disconnect problems. But if I try and play without PP running I get disconnected right away.

This is a strange workaround, but at least I can play!

So after a period of relative stability with the odd socket closed msg appearing here and there this problem has come back with vengeance and over the last 24hrs i have lost count of the amount of disconnects I have had from this problem.


And reading up this Post what a surprise there is no comment from CCP.....shock and horror...... I know to most this would seem like a minor issue to those never having the problem but if any of the CSM delegates are reading this what do you think bout CCPs lack of help or even suggestions?
