Every 2 or 3 minutes everything stops working, followed by this message after about 30 secs.
What's going on? |

Eh? Which search bar? There are three. I searched under "files and folders" and quit when the total retrieved reached 132.
You're talking to a complete computer-illerate here, so you'll need to keep it simple. |

In case ya forgot.
Nope. Re-started game, everything ok for about 2 mins, then all commands ineffective, followed half a minute later by "socket closed". |

I found that my WiFi was spotty, cutting in and out, the price of having a refurb'ed Apple.
I solved it by hooking up the Apple, directly to the router.
That may have an effect on your problem.
Nope. Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm running everything wired.
I've been playing for over a year without anything other than an occasional problem, and nothing has changed at my end. All other online activity is fine.
I tried the repair tool, which at first refused to run but later reported a successful repair.
Er . . . , except that now I can't even open the launcher, so EVE is now effectively dead on my computer. |

There maybe something interfering with the launcher.
Also, have you run a system check, or a disk clean up?
I've had cache problems before with other games, and sometimes that helped.
Yep, done all the usual non-techie stuff.

Your ISP could have also flagged EVE ss a torrent service. My ISP is Plusnet (nominally Madasafish). I've been with them for years and use my own (i.e. not supplied by my ISP) router, which I've also been using for several years. The only firewall in use is the Windows standard one.
Never had a serious problem until now.
Why would flagging as a torrent make a difference, and why now, after playing for over a year? Besides, torrents have never been a problem previously .

I assumed that's what you meant, but my question remains: why would they do that? Torrents are a recognised method of downloading files - why would they block them? If they did, torrents wouldn't exist, but they do - all over the 'net. In any case, as I've said, torrents have never been a problem for me, so my ISP clearly doesn'y block them. |

I recovered my launcher via the link in this post: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2345676#post2345676 .
The re-installed launcher started me back at square one with the EULA, took me through the new player video sequence again and fouled up all my settings - a bit tedious, but a small price to pay for getting back into the game.
The closed socket issue seems to have ceased, but there's now an incursion in progress. Could the start-up of the incursion have caused my problems? |
