This is odd.
I tried logging in an Alpha on my laptop and it worked. No Problem.
Tried logging in an Omega on my desktop - won’t do it (socket closed message every time).

Switched it around. Tried logging the same Omega toon in on the laptop - works fine.
Tried logging the same Alpha in on the desktop - won’t do it.

My desktop and laptop sit 3 feet away from each other and connect to the same Provider through the same modem. The only difference is the laptop connects via WiFi and the Desktop via a cable.

Four? Being silly right… I would assume multiple support tickets from dif chars from same computer would run from the same server etc?

Does Not work for me either, I have uninstalled and reinstalled eve client, wiped hard drive, and reset cache. I can select character but it hangs and says “socket closed”. Client was working fine until the DDOS today

Thread title is a lie. Works for nobody affected by what happened earlier.

Today worked for me.
Players should not have need to do this black-magic.

more like time for a new router/modem/isp

changing router and/or upgrading the firmware has solved most of my DC problems.

Try unpinning the account(s) on the launcher (thumbtack icon on right of account name), doing what OP talks about, then shutting off your computer completely, turning back on and logging into eve client.

What is going on I see almost 20 000 players connected but when I try to play I can login, select my character then I get a “socket closed” error.

I tried on all my alts every single one had the same error. I don’t use any VPN or anything is there something special to do to play eve online today ?
