## Could not connect to the chat server at

[live.chat.eveonline.com:5222](http://live.chat.eveonline.com:5222/)

After a long break of about half a year, I re-downloaded the game and encountered this problem: the chats don’t work, and I can’t see the local area. This has been going on for 4 days.  
any help?

If you live in Russia, they block cloudflare that is needed for chats in EVE, this might help - [Releases · Flowseal/zapret-discord-youtube · GitHub](https://github.com/Flowseal/zapret-discord-youtube/releases) ( I usually activate “general (МГТС)” )

I can’t eve launch EVE client without this thing…

Game dc’ed. When I relaunched a pop saying “Could not connect to the chat server at [live.chat.eveonline.com:5222](http://live.chat.eveonline.com:5222). so I relaunched, I even updated my drivers and software cleaned up my cookies, restarted the computer. Same thing, but also some skins I had bought for my redeemer are missing now, sop I am not sure if there is anything else that came up missing.
