same here - Austin Texas on AT&T GigaFiber and I can practically touch and see and feel and hug the pop if i open my window because i live in the tech hub here lol.
when logging in i get warning saying i cannot connect to game (it gives 3 possible reasons why) and i click connect down under the number of online players below tranquility. that logs me into a chat error…
has anyone started making lil voodoo dolls of the DDOS’ers yet? so we can have fun like that kiddo princeling in Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom and hold it over the fire?
Still broken. I can log in, but the chat server issue remains, and makes the game unplayable. I am missing out on moon ores that will expire tomorrow, not to mention the time lost with mates.
Player since 2007. For over a decade, Local (AKA chat) was never, ever problematic. Is it just me, but aren’t games supposed to get better while maintaining the stability of base features everyone relies on?
Since the acquisition, deterioration of game stability is clearly evident. Have the new owners brought some animus baggage and the player base gets the shaft as a result?
I expect any player disgruntlement to be disregarded as we are merely revenue sources that need minimal appeasement, but something’s fishy here over and above previous DDOS attacks.
The Chat situation is absolutely indefensible, why not admit the mistake and revert back to some previous workable point?
Supposedly Pearl Abyss hasn’t really done anything as far as messing with the overall direction of EVE online or change their server structure. I think it’s related to closing of the Chinese server(which allowed botting), and having the Chinese players on this global eve platform and then CCP makes massive ban waves that angers the massive bot farms. They have been doing DDoS attacks off and on since blackout and I guess this time they went all in on their DDoS attacks…
The war between Legacy and Fraternity stalemated until blackout and a lot of the bots became ineffective or got banned… and shortly after Legacy gained a massive upperhand and evicted Fraternity from Detroid and surrounding regions.
i found rerouting your game traffic through Germany allows chat to work just with some latency without doing so here in Australia has no connection to it
Chat? To hell with chat, I just want to be able to log in and play the god damned game. I literally just signed up for omega six days ago. This is ridiculous.
ya not getting dced like the cluster **** we had yesterday i can login which from what i have read and the fact that the server pop is down by 8-10k when it would normaly be a hell of a lot higher on a weekend
I’m holding tight here while things get sorted because if it is true that this is the result of a massive ban then Eve will end up getting better for the actual players. Even if it doesn’t, I’d say that the idea of bot hunting should be pervasive throughout the Eve universe. Corps should make campaigns to clean up the botting on here. Maybe CCP should condone Player-bot hunting even in high-sec in conjunction with bringing in Concorde with AI to verify bots. my $0.02!
You have three bars “hamburger” menu in upper right of the launcher wndow. There are those options.
In Shared Cache… option You have to click verify, then when it ends, click refresh that is also in the hamburger menu.
That’s hilarious you called it a hamburger… I always thought it looked like a fork without a handle. I know it’s supposed to be an “E” but the mind sees what it wants. Another thought, it’s a naked man sitting in a transparent chair that you’re looking up at…
So far it is still behaving the same way.
Cannot login on first attempt, however, while it is saying server blablabla cannot login, I hit the log button and it works.
All chat channels, local, corp, alliance, anything chatty really is dead.
Everything else works as intended.
I am currently logged in from Bali, Indonesia, GMT +8, Beijing / Hong Kong / Singapore time zone.
Hope that can help.
