2 weeks of EP with a week head start is not OP.

"Forward View" would be awesome but very hard to read the battlefield. Good for walking around and videos but combat it'll be hard.

You're really on earth and when you enter a terminal you're converted into data/mass/whatever. I like the newer terminal design, just wish it wasn't so GPU unhappy.

To clear things up. LOS is not based on your internal click, I was using it as an example. Where the server and the client run their own code. The "Server" time you see is not the real server time. That I would like to see resolved.

Small patches usually don't have notes until during the patch. It's a small team. Big patches usually have notes before hand however.

Paint has a font tool..
It's called Fall off not fallout.
Here, I had a go at making one too**.

**I didn't make the graph, before anyone tries to say I am pretending to part of Avatar Creations.

This is possible but would mean the LOS code would be in two places at once. I'm not sure the client even views terrain the same way the server does so this could be a large addition rather than a simple fix.

It's a nice idea but it does make the game a little simple in my opinion. LOS is going to be pain for a very long time. An indicator client side won't always be right either. Client/Server will be out of sync a little. If you had the server running these LOS calculations constantly it would effect the servers performance. For instance the time in the corner isn't sync with the server it's simple your local time plus or minus a few hours.

You can buy all the codes you need in one transaction, buy gift codes. I like it.

It's not the same order as created. It seems that the first visit after creating the character creates their account here. Not sure but it's definitely not character creation order.

How about we get it in tip top shape for it's current platform first?

It's very possible. The better solution is to copy the directory to a new location (E.g. /Perpetuum/Client1 and /Client2) an run each separately. I'm sorry it's going to consume so much bandwidth but try the reinstall first. That should replace the .exe without overwriting the large .gbf file.

The words "Dial-up" in that routers address is slightly worrying but your connection to the game can't be helped.

Your route to and around America seems reasonable however the routes into Hungary are less than desirable. Honestly there isn't much you can do but hope they move the server to a more connected location. 500ms isn't the end of the world but the spikes to over 2000 will be trouble.

If you've got the bandwidth to do so and the problem continues you could try reinstalling or simple deleting the .gbf file and allowing the client to re-download it.

I've heard of a few issues that required the .exe to be re-downloaded as it sounds like it's the program failing to start and not failing to load from the .gbf file.

Keep this thread up to date and see if the reinstall helps.

It's working at the moment or it was for me but the forums, website and status all had an SQL issue just before the servers came back up.

Seems it wasn't applied for many people. The original down time after release was to apply the 20k EP. Seems like they forgot the EP from those extra 5 or 6 days.

IMO

It seems easy enough to change. 1 tutorial assignment per account. If you're running multiple main characters off one account it has benefits and consequences.

3 days = 72 hours. Create a character now and you still have time to delete it. Plus if you're fast and could probably do it twice. that's 4 times per account that has a main on it and 6 times per account that has no characters on it. There time for at least 1 more.

You're 2 minutes late. I remand reimbursement!

If you want the lore to make sense replace "Owner" with "Maintainer" in this thread.
