[Resolved] Connectivity and Authentication Issues - 2020/08/30

As of right now, I log on then get drop connection from games withing 15 seconds of being online.

It’s not just Germany

looks to be the center of issues tho

Well, germany’s been the center of issues in europe for years now…

Am I the only one that’s struggling to stay connected now? I still keep seeing chat errors and frequent log off problems within minutes of being in the game.

no, you are not the only one. currently I can’t even log in. And Cloudflare is still working on the issue. Until it is fixed I wouldn’t expect any changes for the connectiviy issues…

Cloudflare issue has downed Eve and discord in UT USA

Update: so, I was able to finally get into game with all 3 mains on all 3 accounts, launcher was fine, etc. etc.

But as others have reported, the game itself is still very unstable. Not only did I get socket disconnected… twice… on all 3 accounts…

But I experienced some very weird issues. Mind you, I was making 126 jumps (x3), so this isn’t guaranteed to happen all the time or anything, but:

  1. after disconnecting in Bei, an EDENCOM Minor Victory system with trigs still potentially on gates (eeeesh)… I got back in on all 3, verified my 3 pacifiers were still alive…jumped into Uttindar, heading for Hek. I was doing this one toon at a time to minimize the chances of another disconnect of all 3 around the trigs… the first toon to make it into Uttindar I aligned to Hek gate, hit the MWD, hit cloak, and was going to let it drift while I went back to the other 2 to get them safely in and out of Bei.

Instead, after hitting cloak, and while saying ā€œAligning: Hekā€ above my HUD… the jump (not warp) tunnel effect suddenly happened, as if I had jumped back into Bei. But no, my ship was there, cloaked, moving towards the Hek gate… just forever trapped in the (old) jump animation.

I was able to get the other 2 in, out of Bei, similarly aligned and cloaked… relogged the first one and all was well… for then.

  1. the rest of the way back down from Hek to Rens to Amarr area, I experienced occasional stargate jumps where the gate jump animation/tunnel did NOT happen, and instead I saw the flash of my ship disappearing, and then a few seconds later the next system loaded. Only at first it was stuck looking edge-on at the plane of the tactical overlay, with no ability to rotate the view, and the local nebula not fully loaded in. Very strange, this would usually only happen on one toon (the 3rd, the same one I had issues just getting to launch in the launcher earlier today)… but one time it happened on all 3 at once. O_O

  2. almost every single jump it was laggy and hard to get all 3 ships to make the next warp/jump.

  3. and finally, each of them had a bit of this on the long way back home to Amarr area:

ā€œNotify Please get within 2500 meters of the stargate to jump.ā€

Often while my ship was drifting towards the gate at around 2100 meters… Together with the lagginess, it meant I spent quite a bit of time on gates having to reissue jump commands. I also lost gate cloak numerous times, in both regular systems AND in minor victory/edencom fortress systems along the way back. Talk about nervewracking. Hearing that ā€œtrig invasionā€ aural soundscape while your eve clients lag for 2 minutes, knowing your gatecloak’s been down for 1 minute by now.

  1. oh, except sometimes it wasn’t! sometimes after all that lag loading the next system, 2 of my ships would be without gate cloak on the other side of the gate… except with bugged full-blue-circle cloak timers even though they weren’t cloaked anymore and could see each other on the overview… but the 3rd ship was still back in the previous system on the gate till the lag cleared up and THEN made the jump.

Anyway, that’ll learn me to need to do some logistics during an issue-plagued night, but… I had a good wormhole in Caldari HS I needed to move some ships out of, didn’t want to risk the connect being way worse in a day or two. Whew… DONE. :::goes back to bed:::

We had two separate problems this morning; both were network related: An internal one affected the DB machine for the Login Server (timeframe 9:12 to 11:49 UTC) and the other was the general internet outage at Level 3/ CenturyLink that affected Cloudflare: https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/30/21407429/cloudflare-down-websites-hulu-feedly-discord
