Hello, hopefully someone can help. every time I try and log in using WIFI, I get to the character select, select the character and then I get a connection lost, an expected error has occurred notification. I ONLY get this on wifi. I does not happen on a wired connection. id like to know if someone figured this out as I usually can only play at work. any ideas? ---

EVE’s quite sensible to lost packets. How many walls and corners are there in between you and the router? ---

You seem to have a hardware issue, try to update your drivers. ---

Yes I don’t know about this one, maybe file a ticket and attach a loglite file with client information from when this happens and then I might be able to tell you something. Loglite would be your best bet to find out what is causing this, and it’s most likely an unexpected error not an expected error. Expected error just sounds so wrong to me. :Þ ---

Also have the same issue. Connects fine with the LAN cable but doesn’t work with wifi. However I can connect to the test server on wifi. Fix? ---
