Troubleshooting

How to fix EVE Online not working

EVE Online is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach eveonline.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Restart the EVE Launcher
Close the game client first, then close the launcher. On Windows, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, open Processes, select EVE Launcher, and click End task if it is still running.
Clear the EVE client cache
If you can reach the game, press Esc, open Reset Settings, and click Clear All Cache Files. Restart the client after the prompt, since this can fix stuck windows, blank market data, and character select problems.
Verify the shared cache
Open the EVE Launcher, click the gear icon in the top right, then go to Tools / Cache. Under Shared Cache, click Verify and let the launcher check the downloaded game files before you press Play again.
Reset DNS for Tranquility
On Windows, open Command Prompt as administrator and run: ipconfig /flushdns. If connection drops continue with messages like the socket was closed, run: netsh winsock reset, then restart the PC and your router.

Error messages

Common EVE Online error messages

What each message means and what to try. The wording can differ a little between app versions.

The socket was closed

Means
The game client lost its connection to the EVE Online server.

Fix
Close the client and launcher, check your connection or VPN, then sign in again. If other players are being disconnected too, wait a bit and try again later.

While EVE Online is down: what to use instead

Steam If the website or normal launcher will not load, Steam can start the installed client for accounts that use it, though it will not help during a server outage.
EVE Portal The official mobile app can help you check character mail and skill training when the game client is the part giving you trouble.
Elite Dangerous Use it if you want spaceflight, trading, exploration, and ship combat while you wait.
Albion Online Pick this if the market, guild politics, and territory fights matter more to you than flying spaceships.

About

What happens when EVE Online goes down

EVE Online is a space MMO from CCP Games for Windows and macOS, built around one shared live universe with player corporations, markets, industry, and fleet fights. Pilots in the US and elsewhere can lose the launcher and character login, which also stops live battles and market orders.

The launcher is often the first place you notice trouble, because it may hang on sign-in or fail to start the client. If the game cluster has trouble, character selection can fail, jumps can leave you staring at a loading screen, chat can lag, or a socket closed message can kick the client back out. Full outages block everyone from the main live server, while partial incidents may leave logged-in characters online but stop new logins and launcher updates. Because the game uses a central live world, server outages tend to feel broad, although routing trouble can still make the problem look regional.

Questions

EVE Online FAQ

Is EVE Online down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Those reports come from a public outage-reporting service; this site does not monitor the game or collect reports itself. If reports look normal, check your side by restarting the launcher, testing another website, turning off a VPN or proxy, and trying the game again on the same connection.

Why is the EVE Online launcher stuck checking the shared cache?

A damaged download or stale launcher cache can leave the client checking files instead of opening the game. Close the launcher, reopen it, and use the file verification option if you can reach the launcher settings. If it keeps looping, clear the launcher cache and sign in again.

Why can I sign in to the launcher but not enter Tranquility?

The launcher can accept your account while the Tranquility game cluster is still busy, under maintenance, or refusing new sessions. Try again after a short wait, especially if character selection loads but entering space fails. If the status on this page shows higher report volume, treat it as a wider problem before changing your setup.

What does 'The socket was closed' mean in the game client?

That message means the client lost its connection to the game server. It can come from Wi-Fi drops, packet loss, a VPN route, or a busy connection at home. Switch to wired internet if you can, pause large downloads, restart your router, and try without the VPN.

Why is my Omega time or PLEX purchase not showing in game?

First, make sure you bought it on the same account that your character uses, especially if you play through Steam. Log out of the launcher and back in, then check the account page on eveonline.com before buying again. If the payment still shows pending, wait for it to clear rather than making a second purchase.

How we track EVE Online

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for EVE Online, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for EVE Online, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. EVE Online doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
