Right, i dont know exactly how long this ■■■■ has lasted, but it has been a year at least now. CCP has always claimed that there is no fault at their end, yet I get socket errors usually several times a day, and some evenings up to 2-3 pr hour. Now, you could blame hardware, etc etc, but i had the…

You know it might be your ISP? Or somewhere else along that chain, right?

Don’t know if this would help, but do your accounts differ in what occupations/actions your toons does? There have been reports that keeping the help channel open has resulted in reduced socket close incidents, working theory says it might have to do to a constant and consistent signal traffic to th…

[image] R4d1o4ct1v3: That’s not an accurate statement. Internet routing is an extremely complex thing, and it’s entirely possible that traffic belonging to only one of those clients got routed differently than the other, triggering whatever condition is causing this error. The fact that the end …
