CCleaner is good software for cleaning up the registry, clearing cookies, defragging, uninstalling apps, and managing startup processes, but the only thing that will help remedy this situation is time. EDIT: also, the \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*s seem to have given up, still wouldn’t undock in LS or 0.0 though. ---

31,000+ players online, yet I’m still getting a socket closed since this morning’s “all clear”. Just like last time, it took 8 hours plus before it let me back in. What is the secret 31,000 people know that I don’t? ---

I am back online. At the character select screen, I used ESC \> Reset settings \> Clear all cache files. I then logged out and shut down my computer, my router and my modem. After a few minutes I booted everything back up and was able to get back on the game. See attached screenshot for where I had cleared the cache. This may or may not have been what finally got me online, but it’s worth a try. ![21](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/3/3/33d78ad7f66123c8f173975f8b89269496dc5673.jpg) ---
