I’m a returning player, just downloaded and installed updates to launcher and game. When I start the launcher it works fine, news appears, characters, etc. I can even see the number of players online on TQ.
When I click “play now”, the game launches but after several seconds it displays an error that it cannot connect to the specified address. When I click OK, next to the “connect” button at the bottom it shows:
<pre>/carbon/common/script/net/machoNet.py(1861) ConnectToServer
<pre>/carbon/common/script/net/SocketGPS.py(192) Connect
address = 'tranquility.servers.eveonline.com:26000'
e = error(10060, 'A connection attempt failed because the connected party did
not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed
because connected host has failed to respond')
host = 'tranquility.servers.eveonline.com'
port = 26000
Doesn’t really provide any useful information, unfortunately. The last time I successfully logged in was over a year ago.
Turns out after a recent firmware update, my router’s firewall had been set to “high”. The firewall log showed several packets blocked at the time of my connection attempt.
I fowarded the port and it connected successfully.
