And I bet we're all fixed again since CCP isn't sending us through Verisign anymore. So apparently they're screwing up our game just on the weekends. If CCP is fkin up our game time just for the New Eden Open this is a new low, even for CCP.


No such luck for me so far its socket-disconnet heavy day as usually (for the past few weeks)

I had to do this for a while (and there is a free version you can use, by the way), but be warned: I was unable to join corps because of it. They see you using a VPN, they assume you are a spy.

Just go there and click the one that says Free Download instead of the one that says Buy Elite Version. It'll pester you with ads when you browse, but it works.

Seriously? I'm on Cable modem, not DSL. Also, I ONLY experience a crappy connection to Eve when CCP routes their subnet through Verisign. Every time you do this I experience delays to Eve services (forums etc), authentication in the launcher, and socket closed in the Eve Client. However, as soon as CCP normalizes routing, all of those problems go away.

So please, stop redirecting the blame and stop rerouting through the crappy Verisign network and I'll be happy.

My problem always seemed to occur around 4:00PM right when kids came home from school and internet usage in the area increased and then around 10:00 PM it went away I assume they went to bed and usage declined. What seems to have worked for me was to adjust my QOS (Quality of Service ) rules on my router. It came preconfigured with some rules that conflicted with EVE. The games that I know of that use the same port (26000) as Eve are Quake series, Enemy Territory, and Elite Force. The router had Quake preconfigured so I deleted those and made new ones for EVE and a MAC address rule for my PC. I don't know if this was the problem or if it’s just a coincidence but I haven't had a packet issue for 2 days now.

I'd like to check in. Two and a half weeks ago I posted in this thread about socket closing issues. I decided to unplug my router and go straight from my cable modem to my computer, to see if it was any way router related. Since that time I have not had one (knock on wood) single socket close. I'll keep it going until the end of the month and plug my router back in starting in April, and I will see if the closings come back.

Well if you have a cable box/router set up like me, just unplug the ethernet cable from your router and plug it directly in the back of your cable box.

Been researching a possible solution for this and none found so far. The game is unplayable currently with socket closings happening about every 5 minutes. Has anyone come found a solution besides the ADSL, VPN or new router recommendations.

System Specs:

I do not know if this will help, but I ran a tracert to the Eve Servers and here are my results:

I also disabled my local firewall as well and socket still closed.

To those having PERSISTENT socket issues, attempt a VPN tunnel connection. You need to re-route your packets via a different network.
It doesn't come without costs however (from extra TCP overheads), but at least you can login and do stuffs. Temporary workaround until CCP gets their head from under the sand.

Plenty of options for VPN clients, but imo, stick to freeware open source unless you don't mind paying.

One suggestion, check - http://www.vpngate.net/en/
Read. It's almost painless to get it working.
