_constant_ disconnects since patch. Wasn't happening yesterday and nothing else changed except patch

Tried all 3 optimization settings, rebooting over and over. What gives?
Disconnects occur between 10 seconds and a few minutes after connecting, whether I’m using 1 client or 3.

I have been having a similar issue for the past two weeks, dcing randomly after about 30 mins and cant seem whats wrong

same issue, wtf

3 times for me last night actually, I thought it was my ropey wifi

same and getting worse

Eve seems to be crashing on wireless a lot. It’s been doing this to me off and on for months.

One thing I did that worked was hard set card to 2.4 ghz so it wouldn’t roam to 5/6Ghz. This solves the crashes and disconnects but then your network is slow for downloads.

This week I got a repeater and put it in the same room as the computer with a direct line of sight to the cable router. Now 5/6 works a lot better.
It looks like eve’s code assumes distributed computing fallacy #1: The network is reliable.

If you don’t code your network stuff with the idea that it will get disconnected momentarily once in a while sometimes, for whatever reason, and handle that condition with retries or something, your program will be unreliable and crash.

Hope this helps

That is a general issue when you need frequent updates (fx games), or to maintain a open connection, if you don’t send the updates / do not reply when asked if still there. Then the other side kills their end of the connection - what else should they do?

This is the main reason wifi sucks.

If you insist on using wifi, then make sure it is set up correctly = has 0 package loss. Yes this includes considering wall thickness, wall materials, distances, wave strength, cancer, headaches etc. It is not the other ends fault if your network connection doesn’t work.

Eve is particular sensitive, but we do usually like a quick detection and emergency warp if we DC?

I agree that wireless is terrible for gaming. Unfortunately in my living setup the connection comes in at one end of the house and my computer is on the other, and I can’t tear up my walls o/

It’s way more reliable now with a repeater. :slight_smile:

I’m running everything wired and all clients (5) DC within a few minutes after today’s DT (everything worked perfectly before DT). Last time 4 docked accounts DCed but the one that was moving in space (jumping gates if it matters) survived and is still up 10 min later (still moving).

Quite a few people in the alliance are reporting the same.
