As the title says there is an issue with people within Greece, facing too many disconnects. The issue has started after Trinity upgrade, and i am not sure it's a problem that lies within the network. The traceroute to the server shows a very healthy RTTD. Which means as far as i can tell that this is not a problem of the network.
Some people have found out that this disconnects or desyncs happen when one is sitting idle for a short amount of time. That is when the ship is not moving. Playing with the market or anything else doesn't really help the situation.
I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem yet. Yesterday i got desynced and disconnected multiple times while i was trying to travel from one region to another. I tried also yesterday to initiate the log server to see what error messages i get, but alas i didn't get any message at all that would indicate a problem from the client. After some time though things run smoothly (i logged off after i manage to finish my trip to the destination).
I would greatly appreciate if a Dev could look into it and maybe even contact me. Funny thing is that i am a network engineer for an ISP in Greece and the customer support received lately many phone calls from customers regarding this problem. Thanks in advance.

Last night I had 2 nasty diconnects, one when I tried to ransom a Fleet Issue Stabber in my Rifter :( Apart from that I've had the odd disconnect while sitting in station or hanging in space, idling.

Which ISP do you have? I have forthnet and experience no disconnection problems at all. Desyncs are not directly related to your ISP, although a slow connection can certainly increase the problem. |

I'm really far away in south-east asia and I get d/c's just by trying to log in. Not fun.
As far as I can tell, upcoming patch should fix it.

Ok some more info (that might be circumstantial). OTENET users are being routed via the Limeline network either via the France route or the Amsterdam route ( i guess it depends on the subnet they belong to, and the BGP routing of Limeline).
Other ISPs are using other 3rd tier providers as i see (bbr1 and gar, sorry can't find their market names).
As i see in Limeline network the users that go via the Amsterdam route do face a bigger RTTD (biggest was 188 msec). But still not a huge deal imho.

This problem is not persistent. I personally didn't face any problem up to 3 days ago. It's not an ISP problem and that i can tell it for sure (i am pretty sure since i am working as a network engineer for the ISP i am using). It may be an upstream provider problem (which is something that i am suspecting).

My connection used to drop all the time. I started to use ping plotter to try to find out where the problem was. I didn't find out where the problem was, since when I use it my connection rarely ever fails... Try it. ___ P.S. Post with your main. Mind control and tin hats |

My intention for making this thread is not to find a sloppy solution. I am confident that the patch might fix this, but i am also suspecting that there is a problem from the upstream provider. At this point OTEglobe (OTENET upstream provider) is looking good. But i am not certain for Limeline and i can't contact them for this. However CCP can contact them for this issue.

Desyncs are hard to trace as you might be completely alone in a system and experience them since you might be on an overworked node or experience momentary network related lag. That and the fact that the client's code doesn't or stops refreshing your and other ppl's positions to check if you're "in the right place"... There's been lots of tests on sisi about this and we hope sharkbait will come up with a solution... which ofcourse would be to occasionaly reaffirm your client's position to what is at the server. |

I am glad someone brought up this matter... I use Forthnet, i get disconnected often, in random times. Other ppl in the same corp, get disconneted also. It's not an ISP problem. Also, at the same time, no other programme using Internet connection seems to be having any problem connecting.... Ventrillo keep working ok, everything else also... It's just EVE that gets disconnected. I can't understand what triggers the disconnection, but beeing idle defenately causes more disconnections....

Id like to add, that this problem (speaking for my case of course) is not related to the trinity upgrade.
I had serious DCs (every 30 minutes) and lagging, before the trinity upgrade.
I changed my provider (used to had OTEnet also), and now everything seems fine...

I've been having the same thing, but not since trinity, it started abrubtly one night about a week before trinity patch.
You know what, the funny thing is that I play two accounts and only one keeps dropping constantly. Then after a few disconnects they switch places. And the desyncs are really, really bad. One character starts shooting the rats and the other one watches how the tank is going and when the rat dies (so I can attempt to shoot the other rat even if launchers still show as inactive). Lagged out account sees everything normally, but with a "slight" delay (as in 3-5 minutes later XD) The disconnects can happen from once every 10 minutes up to once every before-I-even-enter-character-selection.
I'm on OTENET, chania. Same problems, albeit to a lesser extent from martinigr, also otenet.

Mythos forum have a 10-page about it. I have sent a petition with pinglotter logs that include a disconnections. Others have sent mails to Otenet support. Let's hope they find something. The weird thing is that 2 weeks ago we were reaching TQ through a completely different route (through Level.net) than now (llnw.net). But the problem remains the same.

I'm not from Greece im from Iceland and i have noticed that a few of my fellow country mates have a problem as do I. The problem is as follows, if you are downloading torrents you simple cannot play eve, the torrent is not even maxing the connection and it really is not good, cause i do like pirating videos while playing eve I dont know why, i can play other fps shooters online with no lag, just not poor old eve.

I haven't been watching the route to CCP server before the disconnections start happening, but this is interesting.
As i said that is not an ISP problem but an upstream provider issue most probably.

That's what we are saying. It's a combination of the ISP with EVE. With different ISP or proxy/vpn EVE works fine. In the same ISP, nothing else has problems (including a lot of other online games). And it's not p2p or anything like that. It's not like something like this has not happened before. I have found many past cases where players from specific ISPs had connections problem and CCP helped to pinpoint the problem.

Edited by: Dahin on 19/12/2007 03:31:17 Here's a scary fact for me:
The disconnect-fests are way more common from 07:50-22:50. I mean I've had many times that I crossed one of those boundaries and suddenly I could log in normally, or start the crashfests.
But it's not consistent so it could be my inner fears that otenet is pulling a tiscali on us.

using otenet also and...
running 2 clients in 2 pc's one prenium one classic. the dc is horrible, and random. sometimes one char get disconnected while in character selection while the other toon is ok.
the problem is getting worse while installing jobs to labs/factories
also sometimes jumping to a system takes too long or never loads, and relogging does not help at all, while the very same time my char loads fast and smooth without lag from a different isp (in england).
not to mention that TS is working well so it must be a compination of isp routing and ccp. the only logical expanation so far must be a secret goverment project to prevent greeks from spending their time to online games

I would urge everyone to call the support of the ISP they have (and face problems) and notify them with the problem. It's a routing problem all right, but sadly i fear it's not due to the ISP but the upstream provider.
If you call the ISP there is a way to open a ticket to OTEglobe (upstream provider of OTEnet) and they can deal with it in co ordination with limeline or level or whichever else they are working with.

I would advise to set a few traceroutes to IP adresses to several locations on this planet. One of them the EVE server ofcourse.
Make sure it runs for an hour or 2 and see if their is anything weird on them.
It sounds like the problem lies with the ISP for the following reasons: *Other ISP's do not have the problem *Other users with the same ISP confirm to have the problem *The rest of the world does not confirm having connection related issues while playing EVE.
Seems like the ISP is the first to look at. Since more than 1 user has the problem, and these users are on diffirent geograpical locations, there is a good chance there is a fault in their network. Probaly an uplink port which is not functioning correctly, or a device that is having a high CPU load. Could be several things else, but one thing is certain, its not an 'uplink' or whatever. At best, its the port on the device connected to the uplink, but then you should also have problems with other internet connection oridnted applications.
Should be investigated by the ISP, since its not an administrative access at the end point (eve-cluster) but it's a forwarding/connection problem of your ISP.
To who reads this, please answer this: *Do you have problems with other internet connection-oriented applications? *Does the traceroute come up with anything? *Have you called the ISP? And what do they say about this issue?
Cheerz, PD

I'm not using any other so highly interactive applications over the net. I do notice from time to time the sligh freezes on my browser that could kill the eve client.
You'll be amazed how much the traceroutes up to ccp change. This morning it was 12 hops, now it's 10.
Now calling otenet customer support on number XXX is a comedu in itself: me: hi, <insert speech diarrhea explaining the problem> support: What dsl modem are you using? me: err, what? the modem works fine tyvm support: then it's not our problem, please call number YYY
YYY number: me: <my mouth hurts from diarrhea> support: err, that's not our fault, call XXX number, they're responsible

Your traceroute keeps changing? hahaha!
I think that a faulty route is the problem. If a route changes, it takes some time for other routers to update themselves. I assume they dont use static routes, because then your hopcount wouldnt change from time to time. Whenever a route is incorrect, the IP you are trying to reach can be unavailable, while other IP's are still available. This also explains why you don't notice a lot of problems with other applications.
The best solution is to switch ISP, I don't think they are going to make changes in the network just because Mister X or Miss Y cannot play their online game very well.

The problem is that the route is changing outside the ISP network. Which means outside the AS of OTEnet.
Limeline is ****ting on us big time.

OK just got an update.
OTEglobe link from Athens to Frankfurt is getting full (is full from noon till 21:30). They have said that they will upgrade this link in the next week.
So everyone using OTEnet must have some patience. And also call the phone support of the ISP. I have notified them to not ignore the problem and open a ticket.
I am confident that the whole issue will close next week.

Sounds nice But the link going full during peak hours doesn't explain why I get the same problems on my classic zombie timezone of 02:00 to 07:00 GR time (that I have to resort to lately).
I'm off to buy a 2-month netcard for dsl from an other isp tommorow. If it works, otenet can kiss my bottom (I hope they got a go-kart and lots of saliva, cause my ass is huge).
Even though todays customer support guy was amazingly nice to me (as in not shoving me off in the first 30 seconds after telling him my modem is fine), he still insisted that this is not otenet's problem. So uhm, if you get poisoned in a restaurant and it's because they bought spoilt meat, is it still not the store owners fault?

I don't wanna take it out on you mithrantir, you seem ok. But why don't you guys do what I'm about to do to you? Give em the finger and go buy bandwidth from someone else.
EDIT: sweet jesus badiron, still with the veld huggers? I mean.. cmon :P
Man the problem is not from within OTENET network as you have seen. The link i say it has problem, doesn't mean it free of problems the rest time of the day. I can open a ticket to OTEglobe and request to reroute our international traffic. I won't do it before i see what they will do next week. That is because no tickets for problems have reached me so far (looks like they get filtered). If i see such a ticket to reach my level, be sure that i will escalate it to OTEglobe.
Also since the link is full most probably it gets flagged for the peers of OTEglobe.
Hey we are not veld huggers ;)

I have seen that the upgrade took place. Sadly haven't been able myself to find some time to play. I did once and didn't face any disconnection.
Can we see if this problem persists?

Yeah it still does Mithrantir ... :( And the PingPlotter shows dropped packets at OTEnet routers. No OTEglobe routers show lost ICMP packets. The 3 first routers in a 10 hop path cause the issue, although I understand that ICMP packets might be dropped due to security/network filtering policy. However these are the only ones that give me a problem on this route, so I have to assume these are the problematic ones. You, as an insider, must be able to learn more about these. Btw for your information: vlan55-k2.otenet.net, and one router before and after it, are the routers that drop packets. If I find the will, I will call your customer care people.
So sad a good game is getting unplayable, and I am considering to test another ISP, before I test a new game!

Edited by: ZinderX500 on 24/12/2007 19:33:05 OTEnet here , still getting a ****load of disconnections and huge lag spikes every 2-3 minutes.
The only way to play for now is with a paid proxy ( thats what everyone including me is using in my corp ,that has OTEnet ).
I contacted them many times , they still trying to convice me that it's CCP's fault.
I dont care if CCP or OTEnet is responsible but the fact that there are no problems with other Greek ISPs but OTEnet , means something...
I give it 1 more week. After this im going to change ISP , even if it takes 3-8 weeks ( Thanks to Greece... ) but at least i will be able to play.

Hi, it's "next week" and still nothing.
It's now well over a month that otenet cannot support any kind of interactive connections.
May I urge everybody to change ISP? Forthnet works like a charm over here.
As for setting up proxies, On telecoms isn't working since otenet->ontelecoms goes through frankfurt again (omgwtflol).

Its not just in Greece..Its EVERYWHERE.. Im in Canada and had absolutely ZERO disconnects from EVE with 2 or more clients..NOW AFTER TRINITY disconnects from server happens REGULARLY... I NOW EXPECT IT! so I now DON'T do anything with 2 or more ships that could get my ships destroyed.. In other words I will only use more than one account if I have friends to back me up when one of my characters inevitably goes off line due to CCP inspired disconnection...or if Im mining in high sec. So it has screwed my solo Missioning...

Last time i tried to play about 2 days ago, things were very smooth and didn't get any disconnections. Although i deliberately let the game idle for some time. Either way i am searching towards another possible cause also, and maybe things will improve dramatically over the next couple of weeks (holidays means less people around).

its got a bit better but thats just bcs less ppl arround bcs of the holydays. I am still getting random disconnects, in random timeframes, every minute every 10 mins or whatever.
The strange thing is that I am not getting disconnected when a lot of network traffic occures (big gangs, fights etc).
So can some1 explain how and where do I fill a ticket and most important what the hell should I write in there? If I just make the phonecall and try to explain to the clueless person on the other side whats happening and he starts asking me to restart the damn router or my computer I am gona get ****ed.

Originally by: Mithrantir Ob'lontra As the title says there is an issue with people within Greece, facing too many disconnects. The issue has started after Trinity upgrade, and i am not sure it's a problem that lies within the network. The traceroute to the server shows a very healthy RTTD. Which means as far as i can tell that this is not a problem of the network.
Some people have found out that this disconnects or desyncs happen when one is sitting idle for a short amount of time. That is when the ship is not moving. Playing with the market or anything else doesn't really help the situation.
I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem yet. Yesterday i got desynced and disconnected multiple times while i was trying to travel from one region to another. I tried also yesterday to initiate the log server to see what error messages i get, but alas i didn't get any message at all that would indicate a problem from the client. After some time though things run smoothly (i logged off after i manage to finish my trip to the destination).
I would greatly appreciate if a Dev could look into it and maybe even contact me. Funny thing is that i am a network engineer for an ISP in Greece and the customer support received lately many phone calls from customers regarding this problem. Thanks in advance.
Sounds like a node problem. ---------------------------------

+1 on the D/C issues, although my info from friends playing tabula rasa is that it is a specific not-so-popular ISP company's fault and it has to do with a "inter-country" connection with londong or something. This could be verified by ppl from different ISP'S.
In addition the game's lineage 2 "teon" server which is located in germany doesnt suffer from the same problem.
Description: i log-in and get disconnected REPEATEDLY for 10+ times after 3-5 seconds. If i dont i may play for 1-3 or more hours non-stop straight, or disconnect again after some time 15-30 minutes.

Well after being away for some time (and also facing some family issues sadly), i have heard from my colleagues that the problem has been resolved.
Can someone from Greece confirm or deny this?
Due to real life issues i don't have the time to log in and test it myself

Well maybe if they fixed it yesterday or today..... There was a major downtime the other day that might've had something to do with it.... But anyway, I haven't been jumping between systems the last couple of days and that's mainly where I get the delays.

I am not talking about delays. This is something that has little to do with the network. I am concerned about the disconnections.

I wonder is the problem is a Trojan on CCP's server?

Ah well the problem with being disconnected while idle in station disappeared a while ago for me. But I used to have massive delays after jumping through gates... The ping was fine and all but every time I tried to dock/undock or jump a gate I had a 20-30s delay. Did 2J today without lag.. Will try some more if ppl could stop camping my station :P

The problem has been identified as a bottleneck at one of the upstream providers of OTEglobe. The resolve was to ask for a reroute of the traffic via other routes.

Hi there!
Have we found a solution to this problem? I'm at Chania Greece and the only ISP that can serve me is OTE, that means OTEnet.
I'm still facing the disconnect problems! Is anyone else that still have disconnects?
Can anyone tell me what to do so I can bypass the problem?
I think to do VPN to a friend of mine at Athens and to route my traffic from his ISP. I'll see what will happen with that and I'll keep you informed!
And mates today i had a problem with my phone line... The phone was off! So I went to the nearest OTE bulding and tell them that I have a problem so they start a ticket! and they told me to call so I can tell them the problem! So i tell the tech sup person that the prob is that I don't have a phone! and he tells me ok call from you cell phone at xxxxx is the customer service xxx but from cell phone!
So how can I trust those people that will take care of my problem?
pls if you have any news about the disconnects post something!
thx in advance!

also I'd like to write about a few tests i run! the winMTR and the Pingploter show everything ok! until the time I press the connect button! then i stay loged for a period of 10 minutes and the programms start to tell me "dock mate!!!! Run to the nearest station!" and then goes the disconnect!
A friend of mine tells me to buy another prepaid packet from an other ISP! Is this a solution??? hey there ccp! You are the one that takes my money and I demand to have a little QoS! can you come in touch with the ISPs? Find a solution? Maybe!!!?
