Uplink Is SOO Frustrating!

Okay I very rarely post anywhere but ENV Web Board except Uplink is really annoying me. Whenever I change resolution the game quits and refuses to open again until I trash the settings or whatever its called in the users folder. And when I shut it down and manage to get back into it my user may as well not exist. It keeps asking me to create a new user even though I already have one. This is severely annoying but other than that, Great Game!

Righto then, if i'm not going to be answered then i'll trash the damn thing! It isn't worth my time playing with a game that hasn't noticed that my user exists anyway!

Patience, grasshopper. It's 5:45 in New York; who would reply at this hour? Don't get pissy until a day or two after you post with no replies.

Now, that that's out of the way: you should make a backup copy of your player and put it in a safe place before you trash anything; after you trash whatever you trash, put the backup copy back in the players folder and you should be fine.

Please try waiting a little longer. I can't really help you, because it worked fine for me. But you didn't even wait one hour between your posts! Most people aren't up this late/early (it's almost 5 AM here and I have yet to go to bed). I'm not most people. I'm sure you'll have a response sometime tomorrow. Also, consider posting your problem in the "Any bugs, post em here" thread so someone sees it there.

Sorry but when I posted it was about 5PM.

Ah, the miracle of timezones.

Now, then, this sounds like a Hardware or Software conflict since it works for me and other people on this board. That means that there's probably something odd with your system. An extension, a hack or old (OldWorld) hardware. Please post the hardware/software configuration (PCI cards, Graphics Card, OS, Extensions, other hacks) and that may help isolate the problem.

wrong

The settings include the fact that you already have a user created. If you delete the settings, it thinks you need to create a new user.

You have been warned: More haikus are coming!!!

Is there any way someone could release the format of this file, so people could repair it if they screw up their settings, or at least be able to change the one part specifying if a user is created.

As an afterthought, if you create a new one (with a different name) your old one should be there as soon as you exit to the menu, since people have no trouble loading PC ones. One more thing: it would be nice not to HAVE to creat a new user every time you start for the first time, albeit after a crash or on a new computer where you want to copy an old user from elsewhere.

I am extremely frusturated with uplink! I have been trying to pay off the same fine fo rabout an hour now, but even though the bank said that the transfer was completed succsessfully. The people who sent me the fine still claim that They have not recived payment! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:!!!!!!!!

Paying fines is tricky. It matters which bank you send the money from. I'm not sure if the correct one is:

  • Always your Uplink bank account

  • Whichever bank it was that you overdrew from

  • Whichever bank it is you have set as your default

I need to pay more attention to this. Every time it happens I end up paying the darn fine several times until I get it right.

I know that it's any bank you want to pay it from. I check the info and I'm sure it's correct. I even hacked the bank of the person I'm paying the fine to and saw that they were getting the money.

------------------

I always have to pay from my Uplink account or it does not work.

That's beautiful.

You do realize you have changed the topic completely!!!!!
dont ever change the topic
it is worthless to do so
just post a new topic
now the mod will close the thread
but if they still say to pay them then hack into their mainframe and blow the entire company sky high in a chain reaction
that should fix your problem

and to ANYONE!!!!! IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS THAT ARE LIKE A BUG DONT POST A NEW TOPIC WRITE IT IN THE " ANY BUGS POST EM HERE" THREAD!!!!!

im sure the mods would appreciate not having to say this again for the 1000000th time
thank you come again

I already told him that.

He did. About to hours before he posted here.

That is for the mods to determine; they know how to do their job, and don't appreciate people predicting what topics will be locked and who will be karma-slapped.

Thank you for your time.
