Does the client actually work under Linux still? I remember we used to do that before the launcher, but being limited to DX9 was awful. I really wish they’d make a native Linux client again (after they kill all the DDoS’ers). ---

> [@Anshaia\_Chakaid](#): > > Anyone knows what to do to get rid off this socket closed error. Socket closed errors are a indication of dropped packets. The devs have said in other post that the server is quite strict on how many packets can be dropped before the socket gets closed. So unless it is something you regularly suffer from then it is likely down to the servers not being able to keep up with the traffic and packets getting dropped. So, nothing you can do to fix it but wait. ---

DOS is a fundamentally different, far more limited operating system. If you don’t know what you’re doing, absolutely stick to DOS and Windows where you’ll stay safe. ---
