Today the server disconnected over 10 times on me.
It happend before, but this is just too much. I lost a dozen drones because i warp away when disconnecting leaving them behind and they get shot down.
I did a fresh install, run Add-Aware, all to no avail. Oh, and i have a broadband cable connection...
If anyone has a clue or could help me out, i would highly appreciate it.

Don't think it's your software side that's the problem. I would bet it is some bug lurking in the server side manifesto so you just sit back and enjoy the silence until CCP solves it...SOON(TM).

I've been having this same problem for over a week now. I have tested my ISP connection to EVE's server; reloaded every driver on my machine; you name it I've done it. I've submitted the pingplotter's results to CCP as per their request and still I have this problem. Today I would crash every time I logged in as I warped back to my deadspace gate in Isikesu; so I was logged in for about 30-45 seconds before crashing. I have even uninstalled/reinstalled the game into a new directory vice default so I know the cache isn't the problem. Now I can't even get past the 'Logging in as...' I'm convinced the problem isn't on my end anymore; I have done absolutely everything possible to prove that and everything CCP has asked/recommended.

I have been experiencing the same type problems ever since the last major patch came in....repeated "connection lost to server" issues not long after logging on. I have also tried everything short of formatting my hard drive to try to resolve this issue (please don't bother suggesting all the things that have circulated the forums....I have tried them ALL).
Let me suggest a temporary solution that might allow you to play until this is resolved by CCP in the future. I have found that, if I go to the command prompt and enter "ping 87.237.38.200 -t" prior to logging on to EVE, I do not lose connection. I leave the ping tracer running in the background the whole time I am playing EVE. Have only disconnected one time in about a week of doing this. Previously, I couldn't play the game for even 5 minutes at a time. I hope this helps you too.
CCP....This appears to be something server-side. I ran two accounts with absolutely NO problems prior to the last major patch. Immediately afterwards, I started having connection and lag issues that have persisted to this day. I had changed nothing on my end. And since then, all the normal suggested fixes and all hardware driver/firmware updates (including bios flash and new router) have not fixed the problem.
I really love this game....Please fix this soon. Thanks.

Try checking the internet wiring in your home. If you wired it manually (that is, without the cable guy doing it for you) you may have done it wrong, and may be losing signal.
EVE use to disconnect all the time for me a couple months back. I called my ISP and they sent a guy out to take a look. Apparently the cable wiring I was using to connect my bedroom to the internet was crap. The signal was drastically degrading over it, and the line was only about 30 feet long. We threw it out, and he rewired my house and changed it so the internet comes out of the TV cable cable (not a typo) in my bedroom, then to my modem. Works great now, haven't had any disconnects since. If you don't think that's the problem, check it anyway. Mind you, just cause you can screw two pieces of cable together doesn't mean you know exactly what you're doing. Get a professional to do it for you.

Well I speak to alot of eve players everyday and they do not have this problem, there is most likely a common issue between the people that have it. ISP issues, home networking issues, firewall settings issue (This is a probable cause) also setting in you router/modem or even your computer setup.

I am on a broadband cable connection wired by the cable company. I am running in DMZ mode past my router firewall. And besides, as stated in my post, this all began immediately after the patch. This was not a result of things changing on my end. It would be a HUGE coincidence to have ISP problems beginning on exactly the same day as the patch release and persisting to this day.

I have just started having major issues with this. I will be able to be on for about 5-10 mins, then i get lost connection to server. I have been on all day today without this issue, the same as yesterday, but as soon as it comes mid evening, i get loads of disconnects, its really getting on my nerves. I dont have any network issues during the other online games which I am using.

It seems that for me it is all related to server load.
Yesterdag i could play all day when about 13000 people were online.
Now, when there are over 20000 people playing it happens again and way to many times. It took me 15 minutes and 4 logins to get from an asteroide belt to my HQ.
I'm gonna try the ping solution mentioned above, see if that helps...

I feel I should mention, pinging some random server in Amsterdam once a second for ages is probably a bad idea.
Pinging one server that you use for any length of time like this (and assuming the server has competant admin) is a good way for a firewall denial of service attack auto rule to just automatically blacklist your address. I've seen this happen around a few times.
Besides, if this would actually help - it just points out that the issue is most likely network issues of some sort occuring at your end or between you and wherever you're pinging...

Renfrew...I appreciate the advice regarding pinging. Haven't heard that before, and I certainly don't want to lead others in a hazardous direction.
I must say though...I don't think you guys are reading all of my original post. I repeat....NO problems before patch....PROBLEMS after patch. No network changes on my end, fellas. This looks like more of the same thing I see on other posts of this subject....quick, easy answers and no real solutions. It's too easy to just say "Oh, you're just having a network issue because I'M not having a problem". I don't buy that.
El Colli...I too have noticed a coincidence of disconnects and server load. I firmly believe this to be on CCP's end, not the end users. Too many peeps say the same thing...that they did not have this problem before the big patch.
If...big If...this is network/ISP related, why are there no fixes posted in the forums? Someone would have figured that one out by now.
I'm all ears....

Same problem for me today, 7 disconnects in a couple of hours. No problems whatsoever before today. I'm on cable connection (broadband)if that helps any. Any tech team have an idea?

Renfrew...I appreciate the advice regarding pinging. Haven't heard that before, and I certainly don't want to lead others in a hazardous direction.
No worries. Usually, it's a non-issue, but it's the few times that it happens that can turn in to a huge pain to resolve.
If...big If...this is network/ISP related, why are there no fixes posted in the forums? Someone would have figured that one out by now.
How do you 'fix' what you have no control over, will very likely not be told about, and also be able to determine almost nothing about?
Unless you can directly prove that there's a problem at a very specific location, cite the reason, or generally be able to prove the problem exists at all - ISP's are generally pretty useless at even admitting they're screwing up. At least in the US, for residential service. Hell, half of the engineers I speak with (it's my job) I'd refuse to hire.
I'm having problems too that I thought I'd 'fixed', but it's provably local to my system and I'm fairly sure it's not Eve. I'm also not sure if my problems are exactly your problems though. Trust me, I'd much rather be playing than bughunting my own system too!

Hehe...I hear ya.
Thanks for the input and patience. I'm not a tech guru, so problems that get this deep in the connection arena get a bit over my head. I really love this game and it is quite frustrating to not be able to play when I finally get the chance at times. After a year and a half invested in it, I'd hate to have to quit because of this server stuff.

I think this is an ISP issue, personally Im loosing connectivuty to the internet after EVE disconnects, requiring me to reboot and re-log. I also have a broad band cable connection - perhaps the same ISP as El Colli? Interested to see what other (more technically minded)people think....?

I have tried everything, new drivers, new updates, opened ports etc. etc. Gone without sound for 2 days, shut down all bagground programs running. And all with the same result. Disconnection... And it's seriously starting to ..."annoy" me...
One thing I've notiched, is that I can run the game perfectly from noon to around 17-18(GMT +1) and after that I get constantly disconnected.
And no, I do not have an unstable ISP, because I've tested it. I can still surf the net after a crash without having to reboot. I also play WoW and there I experience no disconnections what so ever. Sometimes I even have Winamp Streamradio running and there are no disconnections there. And yes, I have tried running without that too, still the same result.
Please notice that there are no smilies in this post, so this is serious!
And WTF is this "No Thread with this ID - This thread does not exist." error message I keep getting after editting?!

Edited by: Duff Man on 07/05/2006 03:35:03 Same problem, i have 2 accounts running on sperate machines and most of the time 1 drops while the other one doesn't. I'm a Network Administrator in RL, and if anyone here can explain to me how a client session on one box can drop while another client session on the machine next to it doesn't drop relates to a problem with my Network, I'm all ears... This happens way too often, and it reminds me of the early days of this game where the same issues used to occur. The problem was fixed for a long time and has only made a reappearance recently (Perhaps since RMR, not 100% positive as I was away from game for quite a little while).
*Edited for Grammar and its still very rouch

I'm reciving the same issue, though it typicaly just closes EVE on me without an explination.
Broadband highspeed, And I Work for my ISP as a tech. Everyhting is to code, I don't have a router, my isp dosen't block any ports(one of the very few now) and This just started roughly a week ago.
Two flat re-instals of eve, my video and sound drivers and my directx and the issue persist.
Not stopping me from trying to keep playing, will give the ping idea a try at a lower rate than normal, see if that does something.

I had the same problem. I am on a wireless network, i thought my adapter failed. went got a new adapter still haveing disconnects WTF, reinstalled windows, same thing, all new updated reinstall of drivers. same thing. i noticed on the login there was a link to ping plotter. d/led installed run netstat/an found tranq's ipand started ping every 15secs. havent been disconnected since. no matter what adapter i use. so go get ping plotter and ping away.... works for me
p.s. did the logserver trick. case closed no response, no problem found, clear your cache...which still failed BTW. only fix for me was pingplotter. my guess is ccp dropping(inadvertantly) idle connections

Just wanted to chime in and say that Eve drops me about once an hour minimum and about 3 times an hour on average. I can't pickup ore in low sec or my hauler dies about every other run to NPCs or pirates when I lag out. I pay money for this punishment I'm receiving in the name of having fun and I'm not pleased.

I have got a new PC and after installing everything including net, firewall etc. I tried EVE this morning. But I am getting kicked off the game every one or two minutes with connection to server lost message. First I thought it may be my new firewall/antivirus/antispyware called Bit Defender. So I turned everything off, but the result is still the same. I have never experienced such a behavior before (I play EVE nearly a year now). Can someone please help me what may be wtong? Is the problem in my side, or on the server side?

CCP - It seems that there are many people bring affected by this issue. I'd really like, as well as expect at least acknoledgement that you are in fact aware that this is a problem. I play many, and I mean many online Games, including WoW and EvE is the only web game / application that frequently gives me Server disconnects...

Actually they do adresse it.
Quote: tranquility on ... tranquility? reported by Oveur | 2006.05.04 16:15:38 We spotted and fixed the major issues that were causing outages during the weekend and early this week. There are however some minor issues left which this situation emphasized and we're now focusing on addressing. Lately, we have heard of disconnects from Tranquility, but there have been no clear pattern to them. We would like to hear from you if you are still experiencing them over the next days. However, we should point out that many of the cases that reach us are traced to packet loss in transit to our servers. We suggest our you check out PingPlotter to check out your connection. If you are getting packet loss (redish stuff in the diplay) this is most likely the reason for your problems. This is usually not located in networks under our control, but we have measures to address some of the problems. That is achieved with "multi-homing", multiple internet backbone connections to Tranquility. This provides your internet connection with other optional routes to access the Tranquility cluster and can in some cases fix disconnections issues, which is part of our long term connectivity plans. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Of course it's the usual "we didn't do it, not our fault" speech, but at least they are aware of it. However, this is occuring to often to be random.
Using Ping Plotter, I noticed that as soon as the trace reaches London, it gets unstabil and has random packetsloss.
