1 in thread Error code 10054- you're shutting my internet off? [Known Issues / Troubleshooting]
this is also known as 'connection reset by peer' which is pretty normal during any kind of internet activity. It happens all the time on all sorts of connections. It basically means that the computer on the other side of the connection said 'I am done talking to you, bye' and hung up.

I'm not sure why you think you have to reboot. Can you clarify?

This allows me to sneak in when no one is on...say 3:30 on a Monday morning, and stay logged in all day holding onto my share of that 1 percent until I want to play in the afternoon. I just continually open the server window, click and if I don't see the hourglass within two seconds, I restart the application. Thats whats working for me, hope it helps someone.
Could you find out WHAT they're doing that is classifying us as p2p?

We're upgrading all live servers to 1.1.54.0. Note that the outage window for this one is slightly longer than normal.

Thanks for your patience!

Refit ships are only a little better than the regular ships. None of the PvE is supposed to be balanced based on their existence. If same-level missions are too hard to beat without that edge, then there's a problem with those missions. You should file reports and post about specific missions that are too hard.

Something similar is possible, but it still needs more testing to determine if it's safe.

Pre-boarding level restrictions meant no one had the ship.

That's what refits were always supposed to be - expensive ships that give you a small boost.

Skills cannot change durability or gun count.

The only quests remaining would be from either Ismail in Grand Turk or Ibrahim in the Algerian Consulate.

The exact time is up for debate, but it's something that's on our list of considerations for contention.

1 in thread Feed back on 1.1.54.0 [Test Server Discussion]
About those missions that don't give rewards, we've:
1) Turned off the missions so new people won't have this problem.
2) Fixed the missions in the patch and we'll turn the missions back on when that goes out.
3) Set up rules on the server to give you the rewards you missed the first time you log in after the rules go live.

All of these changes will take affect (effect?) when we push the patch tonight.
