I apologize in advance for my reply Alexander, but how can you quote my entire post in which I've clearly indicated that the client download works, but kinda...sometimes.

AND there is no simple repair function that copies a good client over the 'corrupt' one.  No big deal tho, now I have fresh virgin DL of game copied to another drive, the repair function would just be a nice touch seeing as how, if the game crashes, it can corrupt the client, I play other games where a crash does not corrupt the client...ever.  Or a disconnect during a patch DL...all I'm saying is the client and the DL should be separate.

ALSO I clearly stated that the game may have multitasking issues...actually I can confirm this...and no I'm not gonna post exe's and screenshots of stuff, cuz I have more important things to do, when I sit down to play Perpetuum, I sit down to PLAY.

The only reason I said anything is because I like this game, and maybe I'm being selfish, but more people may also like the game more if it wasn't such a pain in the *** to use.

I've already spent way more time on this small issue, than I planned so thanks for the somewhat obtuse response to my issue, but I'll take it from here...thanks o/

p.s. what does admin rights have anything to do with what I asked, obviously I can get the game to run, otherwise windows wouldn't have been able to shut it down.  seriously, if you don't want to actually read the whole post, then don't bother to respond...are you just going for the elite "most posts in the forums award" statistic?

WTF is going on? I'm 300 MB into my 4th DL of this game and I get a runtime error, so windows shuts the "game" down which halts the DL and I'm back to square one...WTF kind of delivery system is that? why is the "client" involved with DLing the game in such a way that the game is ruined if the DL does not complete...seriously that makes no sense to me...

please consider offering the game as standalone DL so I can have a copy on my PC so I don't have to DL the frikking game everytime I get disconnected

nice work on the tips Container, thanks alot

now that was an FAQ...I wish I saw that in the stickies of the "trial account" section a few days ago

Sorry...I guess I should have said, I'm using the latest Win 7 home prem. X64 and all drivers(graphics,DirectX etc.) are up to date.  Otherwise the game has run fine when it was working, and I haven't changed a thing.

I keep getting a windows error msg saying the game must close right after I start the game.  First time was when there was a disconnect during the patch DL, and then I got disconnected a minute ago and now the install is 'broken' 

Can I DL the game to a temp folder so when this happens, I can copy it into the game folder?  All I can find is perpetuum_setup.exe, which looks like I have to DL the game everytime the install goes to hell.  Very cumbersome setup. 

No 'repair' option in the uninstall.  In any case I have had to do this 3 times in as many days, not fun...oh and it's not my PC, I build PC's and I troubleshoot hardware/software, so don't tell me to go get the latest updates and crap.

Also it seems like this game doesn't like to multitask alongside some programs...Skype to name one, and 'open office' was acting weird alongside Perpetuum, not sure about that one yet tho... and don't tell me to check my net connection, because I get 1.5 MB/sec(just tested it at speedtest with server in Germany)...ya that's NOT megabit, and it is the advertised speed by my ISP, that I'm paying for.

thanks
