Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Okay, now that is surreal. An Eve buddy of mine is suffering the same 30 minute disconnect as well, it effects Eve only, not any other internet activity at the time. He lives in Columbia, so I wouldn't know which ISPs are in his area!

He's having to call his ISP's tech support to find out what's causing the very selective disconnects that are in the 30 minute timer, he'd recently moved and is using a different company with different hardware.

Since socket closed/disconnects are not receiving the level of attention asked for by players from CCP, perhaps start there for what's going on with the new fiber connection?

A place to start, and the cold comfort of knowing you're not alone in the 30 minute disconnect glitch.

Can't help much there alas, I'm a computer hardware junkie, not software. Somewhere buried in the CCP folder on the HDD/SSD should be those logs on socket closed/disconnects, though I couldn't begin to point you in the right direction. If it's not a guaranteed 30 minute boot out of the game, then you're another victim of the random disconnect waves that pass through and are still not fixed or directly acknowledged (see older posts in this section of forums!).

Same issue here

This started up for me after yesterday's patch after being fine for a couple weeks. Before that was awful for a couple weeks and good before that. Everything else works but eve derps. It seems to go bad after some patches and then magically fixes itself after another.

I've had these periods over the years and these people (ccp) just refuse to acknowledge it. It's never their fault, yet the only thing that has changed is eve has been patched, so CCP pls. I am pretty much on the best connection available in Australia.

I'd be PISSED if I was giving you actual dollars of my own instead of someone else dollars (plex) for this.

Now tell me as you customer to go stfu as usual.

I here U sis.
make a ticket, they give you back ships you lost ( 100% )
and it's cool, U get a mail from concord
some thing like this:
" We have worked our magic and salvaged your ship, it is in hangar X of yours "

:)

can CCP Dev reply?

is this some kind of DDOS attack on your network ( parts of ) or your protection from DDOSs, any CCP Developer?

I'am on a Mac, one 1 std and one clone, same.

1. If you're 2 feet from the router why on earth are you on wifi?
2. Viewing youtube is not a sufficient test for stabilty nor are other games.
3. Eve is much more finicky about packets and lag than most other games. Just because you have xyz superfast internet does not mean you are immune to packet loss.

The problem could be anything from as simple as an intermittent rfi signal causes a brief wifi issue to the way your provider is routing your signal. I would suggest first getting off wifi. Wifi is not for gaming regardless of what anyone says or any tom or joe that tells you theirs works fine. Their pc isn't in the same room, subject to the same interference or likely even operating on the same freq. I had a garbage disposal once that would disconnect mine. After switching to ethernet (or before) I also recommend ready the stickies post regarding socket closures. If neither helps then things get more complicated.

Extreeemly good point and TCP/IP so right!
to bad I missed it

WiFi is like a button on a web page, no names, but it has a low sec flag on a ship in water
that button say " I feel lucky " aka if internet is NOT important to you, use WiFi

DEV reply BUMP!
