I imagine they are. But it still does not do anything to dilute the fact that they are keeping mum. ---

Thanks for the reminder and the assumption…I’d have never made the leap…? All I’m saying is a rumor or two swirling around is no guarantee of what the actual situation is… ---

Just got booted again and this time I can’t relog. Chat still borked for more than 24 hours. This really is unacceptable regardless of where the fault lies. Perhaps it would be better to take the server offline rather than let us log in and get disconnected and lose ships and isk. ---

Yeah me to. It cost one hundred American to sub for a year. I don’t think so. And its not the lack of play time that’s upsetting. If they would just come clean about whats going on. They are not talking and that makes me wonder. And yeah, paying customers deserve more than just some canned answers. Reminds me of US politics at this point. ---

> [@Rixa\_Pirata](#): > > First attempt at login always fails, but hitting the connect button after the first fail has worked the last few times. Thanks very much, this worked for me also. Until I did the ‘fail/connect’ thing I hadn’t gotten a single connection to work. ---

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. ---

Hell, now the thing even fails to even go to the log in page. Grrrrrr. I have no idea what to do. Many are clearing chaches or what not, and I am lost in the sauce. ---

The fail/connect is how I have been connecting no issues for the last week. In previous times the pressing of the connect button never worked but it seems to be the case now and I always do this just in case. If you have a fail in that first connection always get rid of the dialogue box and then click connect, every single time it has worked for me since this DDOS attack started. ---

Yeah I agree, and its the lack of communication that leads me to believe that the leadership packed it in and left the underlings to handle things.
