As far as I know there isn't a mech that gets bonuses to machine guns. So I got mine up to lvl 7 then stopped.  Anyone know if there are plans for a mech to give bonuses to this particular weapon?

If anyone hasn't checked out Perp on FB give it a try. They have the musical score in the music section.

BTW devs, great job on whoever you found to produce the music.

I see what you're saying toktok about waiting forever for your skills to be completed in eve but in a way perp is the same way with the obvious exception that you dont have to wait 20 + days for whatever lvl 5 skill you want if you dont want to. 

You also mentioned players that started from the beginning have tenure. Well if Perp is stilla round in 8 years it'll be the same here. Players will have huge advantages over month old players not to mention all the multi boxing I hear is going on.

I"ve been spreading the word though. On FB i posted on my wall about Perpetuum. There are a few other places I could post a reference such as gametrailers and youtube where i've been making lets play's.

Ok yeah I read that and that's unfortunate. Thanks zoom for fixing the name btw. 

I'm surprised steam hasnt responded. They have so many free 2 play games it isnt funny and those, i'm sure, make money despite being f2p.

First off my name in game is actually Socrates. I got a name change that hasnt been updated on the forums yet.  With that having been said on to the post.

Perp needs more ad space. Simply put, I didnt hear about Perp until last year when a guy I'm subbed to on youtube named mmohut posted a first impressions video on it. I have never seen ads on any game site related to perp although now i'm starting to see some on mmo rating sites.  I think Perp on steam would be a fantastic if not genious idea to get alot of initial players interested especially with the gamma frontier patch and improving graphics in the future etc. 

Steam has a lot of mmo on their service. Offering Perp as free to play on the steam home page would get pretty much anyone interested in mmo's to download it. Problem is they may feel betrayed as its not really free to play after the trial so I dont know how you would label it. 

Anyway, thats just my humble opinion. Discuss.

OK so...I figured it out finally! Before i was disabling my firewall and antivirus but...did not add perp to the list of programs allowed through the firewall. That seems to have fixed the download issue. It still downloads slow as crap though despite me have a 10mb/s internet speed.

So if anyone has this issue in the future dont forget to add perp to the list of allowable programs through windows firewall. All can be done in control panel.

Cheers!

After about 2 hours and 225 mb later, the downloader crapped out on me yet again. It made it pretty far but then froze up like it always does. Really hoping that installer patch on wednesday will fix this;.

I've exhausted every option. Tried redownloading the installer several times and when it connects to data server the down load craps out around 10 mb. I've made sure firewall and avast antivirus are off as well so I'm just going to have to wait until wednseday for the updated installer. I've never had this issue with any other game and i've reinstalled games like eve multiple times.

I'm not a computer nerd or anything so I cant explain why perp is the only game that downloads slow or is having issues amongst all the other games I have on my pc.  It should also be mentioned that every time I uninstall the perp installer I run CCleaner and it finds a file on my registry that was left behind so I clear it.

I'm thinking this caused some issue because at least 2 weeks ago when I first downloaded it from your site it had no issues. It downloaded slowly but it still fully downloaded at least. My internet connection is very fast with average speeds of 9 mb/s.  I will try again wednesday.

Didn't read all of the replies so sorry. Perhaps deleting everything Perpetuum related would help? Or install to some other directory?

I did all that multiple times. Just dont get it, but then again i'm not a computer nerd so dont understand how computers work.

Denial is the first step...

Ha maybe you're right.

Alright well i'm out of ideas. Both windows firewall and antivirus are disabled and download crapped out at 76 mb, became unresponsive and I closed it yet again.  At this point i dont know if i want to even pay for a month of subscrition time if I'm not sure I can redownload it later. And I dont want to lose out on 2 days of EP's.

Zoom is there a more stable mirror you're aware of?

Bummer... I know this doesn't really help you right now, but a new and much more stable downloader/installer will be patched out this Wednesday.

That does help. Its good news. Its downloading stable if not slow as molasses.  It'll take me at least 4 hours to download this again and its only 530mb. I'm guessings it has something to do with my region. My connection is stable at 9 mb/s.

Zoom,

Download seems to be working much better once I disabled windows firewall as well (like you already stated).  The download still hangs up around 37 mb and slowly downloads.

Whats confusing about this is the fact that the first time i downloaded perp from your site i never had this problem. Now, after i delete it and reinstall it has all sorts of hang ups in addition to taking forever to download with a 10 mb connection.  I even ran CCleaner to clean my registry in a vain hope that it would help but so far hasnt.

I'll post again if the download was successful.

Try to turn off any firewall, antivirus or resident backup software you might have for the duration of the install and see if that helps.

THat looks like it may have done it.

I'm using avast antivirus and when i disabled the smart shields the download is moving super fast. You wouldnt beleive how slow it was downloading before.

I'll wait and see if it pans out and doesnt crash again. Thanks.

I uninstalled the game a few days back due to issues and figured a fresh install would fix them. Now the installer stops at around 20 mb and just sits there unresponsive. I've ran it in safe mode and still the same deal. I'm currently on a trial and it ends in 2 days. I would really like to play some perp but the darn downloader is the worst i've seen in some time. 

Has anyone had this problem and had it rectified?
