tikiana Golden Eagle Research Corp 1	Posted - 2016.02.06 19:20:40 - [1] - Quote Is there any way for me to change the path my game uses to connect to the eve servers? I've recently, the last month or 2, been having a constant socket loss problem and so ive been running the traceroute tool. Now my problem seems to be the same place every time. I googled the ip from the trace route and I'm told its in England, and its not the first time that its been a problem seems it was a problem back in 2010 (http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=1431910) I was wondering is they anyway for me to have the path changed? getting socket disconnects every few minutes, then when it doesn't happen spending the time sitting and wondering 'is it going to happen now?' isn't a relaxing way to play the game
Epic Name The Lost. SpaceMonkey's Alliance 147	Posted - 2016.02.07 00:04:35 - [2] - Quote I disconnect randomly several times a day the last 3 times while I was in fleet. Very annoying indeed.
Memphis Baas 1058	Posted - 2016.02.07 06:02:00 - [3] - Quote A public VPN service is probably your best bet, if you really want to "bypass" this trouble spot. You'll need to route your EVE traffic through the VPN tunnel.
Neddy Fox Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion 40	Posted - 2016.02.07 18:42:05 - [4] - Quote I have the same issue, even used the workaround to connect to the other port. I have used a VPN tunnel, didn't help. Disconnects usually happen to more then 1 player at the same moment (in fleets I hear this all the time). It started after the launcher patch half december, which also reports status "unknown" a lot when I start it, where the servers are running fine. I have reported it 2 weeks ago, still no answer on my ticket.
Legion Masser Rage-Machine 59	Posted - 2016.02.07 19:23:20 - [5] - Quote I too having been plagued with this issue , sometimes it wont happen for days , sometimes it happens 5 times a day - I sent in a ticket , they just basically just read the troubleshooting page to me , then said hopefully things will change with their new servers lol GÿóGÿóGÿóGÿóGÿóGÿóGÿó- Your Anger is a Gift -GÿóGÿóGÿóGÿóGÿóGÿóGÿó Do you even Titan?

Ibutho Inkosi Irubo Kovu 108	Posted - 2016.02.08 13:53:47 - [6] - Quote All you can really control is the port the game uses. That won't be of much help unless you have software on your machine competing for use of a port. Most software will find another port to use all by itself, unless told not to, so there's really no need to monkey with any of that. Socket closing has more to do with how your signal is routed from your machine to EVE's servers with as many as 20 places it can get hung up. Some ISPs even arbitrarily drop packets to manage high traffic times. SO....do a search for your problem on the forum search. THEN do a google search on the subject. That'll give you a better sense of what you're dealing with. Unfortunately for the nature of socket closings, there's very little you can do with regard to how EVE is configured on your machine. Further, it's highly unlikely the problem has anything to do with EVE. It is likely you're getting frequent socket closures but only notice those that occur when you're gaming. As long as the tale of the hunt is told by the hunter, and not the lion, it will favor the hunter.
Yonis Kador KADORCORP 588	Posted - 2016.02.08 15:22:43 - [7] - Quote I've been experiencing more "socket closed" errors than normal over the past couple weeks too. It's annoying. People may claim it has nothing to do with the client (though it absolutely has in the past) but you'll notice that these complaints are always clustered....and almost always right after a patch. It's pretty difficult to believe we all have the same ISP and get dropped for the same reasons. I usually have zero issues playing EVE.

I usually have zero issues playing EVE. i played 3 years with having maybe 2 socket closed errors... i have new internet since 2 weeks and i am getting multiple ones per day now, my friends though didn't seem to have these problems... it's really annoying... also there are some lags from time to time where everything reacts like it was on 5 second server ticks... have to sort this with my isp first though i think.

Socket closed, unless a massive one, have nothing to do with eve servers. OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining! Yes i am optimistic about eve.. i'm giving it till dec 31st 2016 before i doom n gloom
tikiana Golden Eagle Research Corp 3	Posted - 2016.02.09 07:49:33 - [10] - Quote The 2 time I've recorded this has been the same result 07/02/16 - 6:00am 20 213-152.240-250.PXu259.above.net [213.152.240.250] reports: Destination net unreachable. 09/02/16 - 6:45pm 20 213-152.240-250.PXu259.above.net [213.152.240.250] reports: Destination net unreachable. As my original post said its in england. I think CCP need to arrange for the EVE-Ninjas to pay them a visit and make them get their **** together. Alernatively CCP could consider moving the servers to Australia, therefor bypassing stupid england Now I'm only slightly biased, but i think the second option is a good idea
Tau Cabalander Retirement Retreat Working Stiffs 5726	Posted - 2016.02.09 08:08:00 - [11] - Quote Check your local network first. Example: I had a bad router, and bad cabling. Once both were replaced, no more problems.
Shallanna Yassavi Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 77	Posted - 2016.02.09 08:45:59 - [12] - Quote This is why we have socket wrenches. You could always send one to the router in question with a note attached: "Socket keeps getting closed, please fix." A signature :o

Once both were replaced, no more problems. yeah in my case its not local network this is the only thing that has this problem, as I type I'm doing another trace route which when i go and check it I'm sure it'll be the same as the last 2 times that ive recorded it. aaaaand it was 09/02/16 - 11:07pm 20 213-152.240-250.PXu259.above.net [213.152.240.250] reports: Destination net unreachable. now I'm not a network engineer or anything but if the trace route works all the way to 19 then at 20 it comes back with destination net unreachable, I'm left with the feeling that this is the problem and that there is crap all i can do about it, having said that I'm not sure CCP can do anything about it either, its just an unfortunate pathing that leaves the game difficult to play for any length of time

Nakito Kobara Yamagata Syndicate Yulai Federation 65	Posted - 2016.02.10 11:15:39 - [15] - Quote Having many disconnects too since last couple of months. Nothing before that. Also seems that same time others in fleet get it too. Its getting to the point I may not play anymore because I have lost quite a few ships due to this. Nothing worse than logging back into the middle of the enemy fleet. Yamagata Syndicate - Null sec combat corporation. Join today!
3ulldog The Phoenix Rising Vendetta Mercenary Group 16	Posted - 2016.02.10 16:43:23 - [16] - Quote Same for me and otbers in my alliance. We all get socket closed at the same time and we are on different isp and in different countries. CCP say it is my connetion and nothing to do with them. But how can it just be my connection when others get socket closed at the same time.
HanterRU Z Behavioural Malevolence 9	Posted - 2016.02.10 17:07:43 - [17] - Quote I started having this towards the end of last year whilst multi-boxing mainly and running a wireless connection from desktop pc. After some checking in my modem settings and checking all wireless devices connected, it turned out to be my sons xbox, or at time my partners phone. From what i could see from the x-box side of things is that it was assigning the same i-p address that my computer was on, thus interfering with my connection and causing packet loss and ultimately socket closed. After hours of trying to assign a new static i-p to his x-box , both on the system itself and on the modem, i gave up and gave his x-box a hard-wired connection, not had issues of socket closed since. Might help some of you might not, i'm just putting it out there for ya in-case:p And i will just say he used to have problems with his xbox all the time aswell, His NAT-TYPE would always be in strict mode, making him able to talk to his mates but unable to join any partys or groups and play alongside. Not had a problem since being plugged in.
Neddy Fox Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion 40	Posted - 2016.02.10 20:36:54 - [18] - Quote @CCP : I was able to provide myself a VPN via Surfnet and low and behold : No issues anymore. BUT It screw over my mail and stuff so I can only activate the vpn to play and then wait with mails etc until done playing. What exactly do I have to tell my provider? What information can I give them to sort the issues there? (I already use the work around connecting to the other port).? Don't tell me to send them the network diagnostics, because hey : Starting ping for client.eveonline.com Pinging client.eveonline.com [87.237.39.208] with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Ping statistics for 87.237.39.208: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss) They'll start laughing when I send them this.
pajedas Warlord of Mars 104	Posted - 2016.02.11 14:42:15 - [19] - Quote It's obvious where the problem is. When a random number of people from different locations say that the problem started mid December of 2015, the problem started with that patch. I'm beginning to think that CCP just doesn't have any network experts on their payroll. Maybe they could take all those skills lost in the skill trading process and offer them as a reward!

pajedas Warlord of Mars 104	Posted - 2016.02.11 15:47:20 - [20] - Quote From Eve LogLite: Max retries exceeded with url: /metrics (Caused by "class 'socket.error'": [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond: 'connect operation system fail')",) What does, "established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond". Isn't CCP the host? Dev Blog: Exploring The Character Bazaar & Skill Trading
Tiberizzle Amok. Goonswarm Federation 118	Posted - 2016.02.13 06:51:31 - [21] - Quote absolutely sick of the socket closes, spending more time relogging the last few days than playing
Tiberizzle Amok. Goonswarm Federation 118	Posted - 2016.02.13 19:05:55 - [22] - Quote exciting update: CLIENTS STILL ******* SOCKET CLOSING FASTER THAN I CAN LOG THEM BACK IN THANKS OBAMA
Tiberizzle Amok. Goonswarm Federation 118	Posted - 2016.02.13 20:29:25 - [23] - Quote okay well life is too short for this **** you (CCP) might want to make a fairly visible announcement when you decide to actually acknowledge this issue and believe it may be resolved because im personally not even going to torment myself trying to play eve anymore until this is resolved and without an announcement ill have no idea to start playing eve again~ bye
pajedas Warlord of Mars 143	Posted - 2016.02.13 20:46:13 - [24] - Quote I can't understand why CCP won't address this. I have ruled out issues on my end. I think my 60Mb/s should be able to handle eve. My streaming porn is flawless!!! Dev Blog: Exploring The Character Bazaar & Skill Trading
Jengo Fire The Valiant Vanguard The Volition Cult 0	Posted - 2016.02.14 01:44:08 - [25] - Quote im having the same issue, i am getting kicked off more then i can stay logged in. Last night i was fine and could play as long as i wanted where today i am getting kicked every 2mins or so, sometimes i get kicked off the second i log back in... EVERYTHING in my house works and i can even download movies with no problems... no idea what to try now.
Daniel D Duesentrieb Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 6	Posted - 2016.02.14 19:59:37 - [26] - Quote Tiberizzle wrote: okay well life is too short for this ** you (CCP) might want to make a fairly visible announcement when you decide to actually acknowledge this issue and believe it may be resolved Since the issue exists for quite a while now (see here and here), CCP is probably incapable of solving the issue and rather decided to ignore it. The integration of the new Brainbox-feature probably **** something up, but figuring out, would be :effort: - making skins is much more profitable. Having said that the issue exists for month now, the amount of disconnects got a lot highter the last few days. From 1-3 times a day to one every 1-2 hour.
Latanai Nitsoo Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2016.02.15 21:06:07 - [27] - Quote One thing I have noticed using wireshark is that when the DNS changes, the socket closes. I started playing on tranquility.servers.eveonline.com, and everything was fine, My cable mode updates DNS , and the resolver changed (SAME IP) from Tranquility.servers.eveonline.com to crest-tq.eveonline.com, Socket closed. Logged back in, got the IP resolved for crest-tq.eveonline.com, then played for about 20-30 minutes, and lost connection. When I looked at wireshark, the hostname had changed from crest-tq.eveonline.com to srv200-g.ccp.cc (Again Same IP, different resolver name). Reconnected, no issues. Played for another 20-30 minutes, Socket closed, again I looked at the Wireshark information and the hostname has changed from srv200-g.ccp.cc to tranquility.servers.eveonline.com. It seems to be that for some reason, the DNS is resolving different hostnames for the same IP (87.237.38.200). Is there a reason that this is happening? Should I stop my cable modem from resolving these three hostnames and just make them static in my hosts.etc file? As it is, I can't even run missions PvE successfully without worrying about losing ships due to the disconnections. Makes me regret signing my two accounts back up for 3 months each when all I can do is log in and watch my skills progress.
Mortal Mors Panda Express Inc. 0	Posted - 2016.03.23 20:58:28 - [28] - Quote Had this problem for quite sometime BUT I did get it fixed. I took a shot at using BattlePing playing 2 accounts and since using it I haven't had this not even once. No issues at all. To whom ever has this issue, maybe try what I did. Run exefile.exe as an admin then throw on BattlePing bu make sure you have the "Game detected" or it won't work out. Hope it works out, Good Luck!
Mai Hantaka Bendebeukers Apocalypse Now. 0	Posted - 2016.03.24 12:51:32 - [29] - Quote Seems my turn has come to suffer from "sockets closed". Since a day or two I get randomly disconnected. another corpmate also from Netherlands has the same issue.
Mortal Mors Panda Express Inc. 0	Posted - 2016.03.26 00:55:03 - [30] - Quote Update ; Couple days in now and still zero socket closes from what seemed to fix me.
