Happens on some accounts but not others, very confusing.
3 Hours later, still instant socket closure at the character select screen.
Edit: I now seem to be getting this message instead of socket closed:
“The transport has not yet been connected, or authentication was not successful.”
Bummed I’m missing the WH op I’ve been planning this week 
i cannot play from my laptop… as soon as i pick a character I see message and client closes:
“Connection Lost - An unexpected error has occurred” or,
“The connection to the server was closed.”
I click ok, then I see this:
“The transport has not yet been connected, or authentication was not successful.”
Sometimes the screen is blank but I see Local & Corp chat windows (no text within). If i close window I’m asked to confirm I want to logoff.
{ESC} does open menu! while background is blank. I picked clear all cache. Nothing helps.
I was using this laptop with no problems 4 hours ago. Now nothing works.
No problem using my desktop. Problem is just this laptop.
On my laptop, i’ve run LogServer.
I see a familiar error “Failed to get a valid ballpark in time after trying 30 times” before the screen goes black.
Users have reported this before and CCP released a patch. It seems this has returned.

I hope this helps
[SOLVED] well, i can say how I can use my laptop… if I use wired network it works.
I cannot play using WiFi.
The ultimate fix will be to find out why wifi doesn’t work.
Tried to rollback windows to version 1803 but it’s telling me i can’t because it’s been more than 10 days… actually is only 4 days, maybe windows is counting like dog days.
Oh well, guess I’ll wait a bit for next patch or use a wire … not likely.
Similar solution to me in the end. I took out my powerline LAN adapter and switched to wifi and it seemed to work. So if anyone else is having this problem I recommend tinkering with your home network.
fixed… formatted C drive and reinstalled windows 
now my laptop is working. What happened, why? I 'm guessing it was the 1809 upgrade, something changed in my WIFI. dang.
I am having the exact same issue works perfectly fine on my desktop but once i try to log in with my laptop i get the connection to server closed error upon selecting my character.
