Meanwhile NPC’s are mining out your belts.

Lol - amazing how the thread dies almost instantly as soon as the server is back up !

We were upgrading the primary game database to SQL 2017 and the chat database to Postgres 10. Then there was also various preparation tasks for the spring expansion as well as internal changes due to Important Information on the Future of the EVE API - EVE: Developers

Hello,

Since yesterday the game is disconnecting from web every 5 minutes with the message: “The socket was closed”, making it unpossible to play. Is there any problem with the server?

Hugs,

You should file a support ticket for that. The team is great and they will help you find the issue.

There are some things you can always try to solve it yourself:

  1. Make sure your Hard Drive isn’t full or nearly full (sounds stupid, but it causes the most funny behaviour of programs)
  2. try verify and/or empty the game caches (save your in-game overview first if you want to keep it)
  3. run network diagnostics from the EVE Launcher
  4. check your internet connection, e.g. if you have weird ping drops and so on
