As soon as I click my character portrait on the log in screen, client shut down and shows me a message “The socket was closed”. Sometimes I can manage to log in, after 10 to 15 minutes ingame, the game will again shut down by itself and the same message will appear, “Socket was closed.” Never had this problem before. I tried restarting my wifi router/modem several times, still the problem persists. Help?
