You must be at least 18 years old to participate.We look forward to seeing you in the apocalypse! Have Fallen Earth fixed the downloader?I got a free key previously (1 month ago) and could not download the games 40,000 files in 5 days (before I gave up). IMO a bad design because it does not consider high latency (100ms) connections.The Fallen Earth server kept dropping the connection, cycling back to a 3-4 minute check of the files required and then crash initialising the download. This was 100% repeatable and happened every 45 minutes or so.I got no response on the Fallen Earth forums when asking for assistance.

Icarus Studios, developer of post-apocalyptic MMOG Fallen Earth, has flown too close to the sun and lost its wings.The Escapist has learned that North Carolina-based developer has closed its doors. While a post made on the Fallen Earth forums describes a of the studio, an inside source tells us that the reality is much more severe.According to our source, employees were asked to meet together at approximately 10:30 this morning, where they were told that the studio would be closing, effective immediately. They could remain until approximately 1 PM, say their goodbyes, clean up their things and collect a final paycheck, but that was that. Our source also says that much of the equipment (motion-capture cameras and the like) had apparently been sold.While Icarus had worked on other products in the past - notably the relatively well-received iPhone game adaptation of Showtime's serial killer drama Dexter - its main thrust was post-apocalyptic MMO/FPS Fallen Earth, set in a ruined Grand Canyon area after a series of disasters strike the United States.Fallen Earth launched last September to mediocre reviews, currently sitting at a 71 on Metacritic. One can only imagine that the game simply didn't perform well enough to keep the lights on at Icarus.
