Ok, so apparently I've connected.

Definitely a UI problem.

Here's the trick.

- Sign in.
- Wait 10 mins or so.
- Restart game (you'll see a little orange bar before the Updating Game Client text pops up that disappears. keep track of this,)
- Wait another 10 mins.
- Restart game again. (the orange bar should be further along, before you see it disappear again)
- Wait another 10 mins.
- Restart again (the game won't start on it's own no matter HOW long you wait, restarting is necessary)
- Wait another 10 mins.
- Keep track of the orange bar, eventually it should have traveled far enough, and the game will say that updating is complete.

- Show up late to PC.

Just keep track of that orange bar for the brief amount of time that you can see it.
You WILL connect eventually. x_x

I am in the process of doing this. The orange bar that initially displays is getting larger.

Oh Lord.

This does seem to be doing the trick. The orange bar is growing in length but this is sssslllllooooowwwww waiting 10 minutes between game restarts.

Going to try 8 minutes and see if that works.

8 minutes not good. After restarting the game, the length of the orange bar is smaller.

Hernando, Florida Brighthouse Networks Any other time I would blame crappy Brighthouse for this issue but this is squarely on the shoulders of CCP. Please fix this before my planetary battle this evening.

So why is it that they can but we can't. And WolfT, that is the craziest story on here but not surprising that you can get in but your roomie can't. Catch up with you later...hopefully...lol!!

By the way thank you for all you are doing to resolve this issue but could you please get me in before my planet battle in less than 3 hrs.

We are currently investigating the cause of our server issues with connections and updating the client, as such we kindly ask you to wait with us until we can resolve the problem. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Best regards, GM Hercules CCP Customer Support \| EVE Online \| Dust 514 then they sent me another email wanting to know if i want to file a petition to get my refund and close my account I believe that part about offering a refund, but the rest about that server being at capacity is inaccurate. thats the email that was given to me stright paste and copy Okay so now they want to let you petition for a refund?! What kind of crap is that? I also find it funny that I have been on for 8 hrs now trying to get this to work, I haven't had one Internet issue today and the last time I tried to restart I actually got a new message saying sorry for the inconvenience can't connect because of an internal problem. Check to see if you have an Internet connection and hit 'X' to try again. So I'm thinking what are they talking about do I have an Internet connection, been on all day. I hit 'X' to try again and as soon as it cycles, I get another message in the top corner of my screen saying I have been signed out of the PlayStation Network. Now how the convenient hell did that happen?

This trick is not working for me that is for sure.

Come on devs, I know you can't waste all your time sitting here typing comments, but I'm seeing reply after reply on other posts while this 30 page 12 hour wonder just boils. At the rate this post is going, we'll have a full fledged novel before next Friday.. Next Friday??? Hell it will be more like the end of the day tomorrow if this keeps up. I am still amazed that they cannot find out what the heck is wrong with this and why it is affecting the east coast subscribers so much. At least they stopped posting the BS excuses for what they think is wrong. I'll bet anything that as soon as my first PC battle that I'm now going to miss is over, I'll be able to log in like nothing ever happened.
