By "server crash" I suppose you mean a disconnect?

When it tells you that you're "already logged in on another machine", it usually means that your previous connection wasn't closed properly, so I don't think this happens due to some afk mechanic. The reason is more like your connection to us. Where are you located?

Hi, sorry to butt in but I have followed your thread and have figured out the solution.

Please add an "L" as your middle initial.

That is all.

Line, don't you have a bridge to live under?

Your problem is a *** path of intermediate hops back to the server in Budapest.

This is something which has been a problem for literally everyone outside of Europe since the game started.

Your only chance is that your route to the server changes and you get a more reliable one.  There is literally nothing you can do outside of trying to use a proxy or whatnot to change the path, or one of those vpn services...

Either way, it doesn't look like the problem is going to go away anytime soon. TY for the answers, I'll have to weigh wither the fun I get from shooting things as worth the mess of getting thrown out too frequently.

Perhaps this will help, perhaps not.

Go to:
Control panel - device management - network cards - pick your network card - (right click) properties - energy management - uncheck computer may disable this device to save energy

Got a driver update for my video card today, and the second I tried getting on Perpetuum, I got a message saying that it was an incompatible program. I ran the trouble shooter and it went on about could not start the direct x, or some nonsense, so I restarted the game by going back to the previous setup, and then reloading the last update, I found 2 new comments under 'compatibility' that were never there before, something about ignoring the desktop settings, and another about not using something if trying to run at high (1080p) levels. So now I'm running at the generic settings just like originally, and after an hour and a half, no crashes or disconnects. Did notice some small rubber-banding in fights with drones, but not bad. I got a message when I got it started saying that window had to drop to win 7 basic for the colors needed to run it...but it working at least.

thats my card, I think its ok for here...

After all this messing around, the answer to my original problem as: I was running win 7 Areo..or however you spell it, and Perpetuum wasn't compatible with it, so I had to change my setup to win 7 Basic, for a different color scheme or something having to do with DX, but now it works ok, but the change messed 7 up a lot of my other stuff, like all my auto passwords and sign ins from several sites are now gone, and I cant even use auto sign in even for MSN because it now makes me sign in manually every time. To be honest, the game is ok, but if I'd known all this when it started giving me troubles, and getting error messages saying it wasn't compatible, I would have played something else instead of losing all the stuff I lost when it converted back to basic...

it sounds to me like you may have a deeper problem then just a game crashing every so often... to me its almost like you have a virus or other such things on your computer. whens the last time you did a good scan and such. this just does not sound like it has anything to do with perpetuum.. also when you roll your computer back to previous settings all your passwords and other data like that that's stored in temp files gets deleted. same with cookies and other such stuff if im not mistaken... so that could be where some of your problems are. but i would make sure you are up to date all your virus scanner and do a full scan see if it finds anything.

+1, I use win 7 ultimate 64 bit and switch between 5 clients using aero without issue.

EDIT:  All my installs are from technet per Line's comment
