How very parochial of you - the ‘Bank Holiday’ and lockdown are specific to the UK, whereas Eve is a worldwide MMO which happens to be run from here.
OH WOW… so now you are going to go ahead and insult me as well. I have no idea who put you in charge of this moderation process, but my comment was in no way racist whatsoever. I spoke of a country, not a race, and a tyrannical political ideology. An ideology of which even the oriental folks that live there, mainly in Hong Kong, are fighting against. Did you miss all the people in the streets in Hong Kong fighting for their freedom? How about Taiwan that communist China is pretending is their territory and refuse to admit its existence. Also, Vinnie the Poo, aka Poobear is what the Chinese people call th eir tyrannical leader, as pun. Which the tyrant then decided to punish anyone simply mentioning it. And might I say the tyrant is acting very much like you. Seems that some people love their authority a little too much.
Let’s keep this topic on point for reporting and discussing connectivity issues around the DDoS incidents only.

The authentication token provided by the launcher is of an invalid format. Please try again or contact EVE customer support.
SO WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS is it cuz of the DDOS attacks

One spike on the 5th doesn’t explain two weeks of supposed DDoS attacks and “Great Britain” isn’t “London” - it may not be the size of a “real” country, but it’s bigger than a city.
No. Not a DDoSer. I’m paid up for a year on six Omega accounts and sick to death of being lied to by CCP. We’ve had months of relatively recent experience with that.
“We’ll reimburse you for ship losses” which turns out not to be reimbursement, but partial replacement. Replacing ships we’ve already purchased replacements for and leaving us to sell them for yet more loss is just another shadow isk sink.
“The system is stable but we’re monitoring” in the middle of peak attacks. The scope of CCP’s lies during the February DDoS attack (which I never denied was an attack then) is Trumpesqian.
I’m sorry to hear that, but it’s likely to be happening more and more given CCP’s utter contempt for its player base.
I wholeheartedly agree and I’ll add that if they spent half the time bug hunting the existing system as they do in self promotion and nonsensical giveaways the game would be much improved.
I started in IT professionally in 1981 writing assembler code for a custom accounting package for (don’t laugh) an Osborne I computer (the 54-pound Singer sewing machine of “portable computers” that’s probably responsible for the shoulder pain I’m still dealing with now). I’ve been in it since and especially in the beginning had to become an expert in far broader aspects of it than the relatively narrow specialists of today’s IT world do out of the simple necessity that no one else was around to ask.
I started in IT on an amateur basis in 1969 writing assembler, CoBOL, ForTran, and other code for my mother while she was off screwing her art teacher at Nashville State Technical Institute (yes, I was nine - sitting at an IBM Model 29 punch card machine composing software on the fly - I’m sure it turned a few heads at the time).
I built my first PC in the summer of 1975 - an Altair 8800 (seven million, two-hundred six thousand, eight hundred and sixteen loose parts in bags (approximately) that all had to be installed exactly correctly so your (in today’s money) $7500 computer with no monitor, keyboard, mouse, hard drive, or speakers could (if you programmed it very carefully) add two to two to get four).
I’ve been fortunate to live in a time when I could not only “drink deeply” but do so across nearly the entire history of portable computing and have used that depth of knowlege to leverage myself into a lucrative and enjoyable career that spanned three decades before my health took me off the board (cancer and a broad range of endocrine problems)
If anyone in this industry has drunk deeply enough to be able to piece together what’s happening from limited information, it’s me.
I’m not certain why you think management isn’t capable of or willing to cover their tracks. I badgered GM Whiskers into admitting to a “DDoS” attack (in a series of Facebook posts) almost ten days before they admitted it here and that was the last I heard from GM Whiskers or ANYONE from Eve on Facebook other than GM Dopamine telling me that no further information would be given and I should open a ticket (at a time when opening a ticket was impossible and I’d told him as much - very helpful, that).
Covering things up is what they do best.
If there were an industry award for “Most misleading customer communication” I’m certain that CCP would at least be in the top three finalists for it.
I got greedy and paid up for a year on six accounts - I couldn’t resist the discount. So while I could just throw that away, I prefer to hector CCP into actually giving me what I paid for.
I’m not sure what you want for substantiation.
It is substantiated that none, not one, of the six or seven reputable sites that track DDoS attacks online and report that (varying degrees of) real time and historically don’t show any substantial DDoS attack over the past two weeks directed at Eve’s servers or their partners’ servers.
It is substantiated that this system instability started precisely with the patch before last.
It is substantiated that it affects Omega accounts more than Alpha accounts (how in the world would a DDoS attack specifically target Omega accounts if it’s not an internal problem at CCP?).
I suppose I could go the “little bit of LSD and a whole lot of rats” approach John Malkovich used in the RED franchise with a key player in this (supposing I could find one and had a car trunk to use - I can’t drive any more - and that’s clearly hyperbole) but that just sounds exhausting.
I prefer gathering information, evaluating it, and applying logical processes to reach supportable conclusions.
Obviously we’re not looking at the same sites or working from the same level of understanding about how they work.

Eve is becoming unplayable for some people.

Local chat still dodgy. The effect comes and goes, two alts seeing different pilots in system. It gets scary when I don’t know if anyone is around, might as well be in wormhole space. No dc yet though. UK.

Can you please try the following steps to see if that resolves this particular problem?
- Close the launcher
- Open the RUN dialog (WindowsKey + R)
- Type in %localappdata%\CCP\EVE\QtWebEngine
- Rename the “Default” folder to anything else
- Start it again

Please let us know what happens. I am in the same area and it is obviously CCP will be no help with this.
