Max Torps	Posted - 2006.10.12 20:05:00 - [1] I'm a new player and suffered from CTD and occasional lag but as the announcement when logging back on explained that only a certain number of trial accounts were allowed online at the same time, I thought that upgrading to paid as I have done would have got rid of the CTD which I seriously thought was a limiting mechanism for trials. I was wrong. It continues now that I've paid just the same. There can be several hours of play with no problem followed by flurries of CTD for no apparent reason. Annoying. I really feel for every player that is affected by this and would like the issue sorted out alongside many of you. So that is why I'm signing this. /sign p.s. I've done the evelog trick - no effect, I've done the windowed mode trick - no effect except really awful framerate, I've tried the regedit hack and created a new dword as decribed - no effect. I've wiped my drive (this pc is used purely for gaming and is clean anyway) and reinstalled XP, updated all service packs and updates, installed all the latest drivers and reinstalled EVE. Still no change, still CTD as described. I've tried EVE on TWO other PC's that I have, same effect. This is not a client side issue, it is a problem with the game code, the server or their network infrastructure.
Max Torps	Posted - 2006.10.15 01:21:00 - [2] Update to my previous post: Renamed cache to cache1 and as a result reset the GUI. Result: Same CTD Found a forum post that mentioned port forwarding the following: 27900 tcp 27901 udp Did that with same result as previously, CTD as before although today it wasn't quite so bad. Maybe I need to check over a longer period of time for result accuracy, the CTD's still occurred but today it was down by 50% giving hope that at least some of it is user config settings. It has to be emphasised though that CTD still occurs though and on a clean system. Recently 3 friends from the I.T. dept I work in joined the game, one has explicitly mentioned the CTD and rather than ask leading questions I'll wait for the other two to mention if they have any issues.

Update to update. All 3 report the same problems with variations on timing of the problem but all say they can sometimes play fine for an hour or even several, then get an inexplicable flurry of disconnects every 5 minutes to an hour or in one case 5 minutes, log in, disconnect repeatedly and then just plain gave up trying. 4 different systems. 2 Intel based, 2 AMD based and the common factor is EVE.
Max Torps Gallente Research Associates	Posted - 2006.11.14 23:43:00 - [4] Hmmm I don't know about you guys but since yesterday's patch everything appears to be substantially improved. For me at least - what about you? Packet loss on a traceroute to the server is nil. Lag appears ok. Thoughts? Is Research Associates [RESA] right for you?

This is for players helping players and known work arounds. Post a bug report, that's the best you can do. Yes they do. See this post made by CCP after the thread was moved to an alternative private location for their viewing and then returned. Linkage Is Research Associates [RESA] right for you?
