HA! I laugh in your face, this is NOTHING. Back when I started playing we used to call it eve-offline. We had several (REAL) crashes every single day, I mean the whole of eve community was unable to log in for hours on end. Sometimes even days. Reimbursement of ships ? HAHAHAHAHA !!! All we got was a message, explaining how CCP on their end didn’t see any problems at the time of the unfortunate event of your ship going BOOM ! It must have been automated. Did we get skill points as compensation ? ROFL, no not ever had I heard of such a silly thing, and I was actually disappointed when that happened for the first time. It was a new era. Did we quit ? Apparently not, I am still here. Stop your whining, this is NOTHING ! ---

I was having log-in problems after activating the Launcher, getting that old log-in screen with the connect button and a pop-up message saying ‘couldn’t connect’. So I opened the ‘Shared Cache’ menu in the Launcher and ‘Verified’ the integrity of all downloaded files, it purged somewhere around 1500 extra files, I then closed the launcher and reopened it and now have no problems logging into the game. EDIT: That was before Downtime, I just logged in and the same old log-in screen showed up with the same pop-up message, I just closed it and reactivated the launcher, no problem logging in this time. Now about the chat issue, during Downtime I googled how to open a port in Win 10, I followed the directions and now in-game chat is working. > **[How To Open Firewall Ports In Windows 10](https://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-to-open-firewall-ports-in-windows-10,36451.html)** > > If you want to open firewall ports in Windows 10, here’s how you do it. ---

No, you’re not. You are here bitching about something that you have no reason to. There have been announcements and even if there had never been a single one - so what? If you don’t like it just piss off… Also, no need to “return to” my multibox mining as I haven’t stopped multibox mining. I really haven’t. ---

I was able to log in after downtime and things worked fine except the chat. As time went on and more people came online, everything started to lag. It’s a server problem that needs to be fixed. ---
