When using the JTech Systems Lan from ModLink, the game crashes (sudden quit) between the first and second rings to the Uplink public access server. This was for a brand new run. Also, I wasn't able to get it to go full screen; it always appears in a window. I'm running System 9.2.2
(url="http://"http://www.foxchange.com/~matt/ankles/uplinkbug.jpg")http://www.foxchange...s/uplinkbug.jpg(/url) ( ) The above is a bug I had found.
( ) I think that we should have some way to make it so you can't move a window until you learn how to put it down. I ended up moving a window, the first pane in the Tutorial and had to end my game to learn how to put the window down. Or maybe some kind of message the first time you move the window!
( ) I accidentally ended the Tutorial and now I have to start it all over!
------------------ I am the fox, my talk will thrill you, when you get to know me, my smile will chill you.
I've gotten a few of the bugs mentioned already (early missions where you are asked to copy a file but there are no files on the server so you have to abandon the mission, occasional crashes, etc). But here are a couple I haven't seen yet.
Rank Status - once I reached the top 10 in rank, it showed me as "in jail" once and "deceased" in another game. It looks like it was taking the status that existed in that space, instead of showing "active". Minor thing, but figured it needed to be mentioned.
Multi-monitor Options - I have tried to used the in game multi-monitor options, where you use two actual computers, with no luck at all. On one it shows a weird IP (49837923.45.96.58 well, the last three groups are correct) on the other computer, it doesn't pick up the IP at all. So I can't really use the client - server multi-monitor here. The computer that doesn't register is using airport, so that could be part of the issue on why it doesn't register the IP at all.
This last one may not be a bug, I haven't had the chance to repeat it yet. I got sloppy on a bank hack (got greedy and tried to steal from two accounts on one hack) and they ended up getting to me. My motion detectors alerted me, and I blew the gateway. No problem so far. Come back, get the e-mail telling me the Feds got nothing and I was lucky, and I spend 500,000 credits to replace my system. Next hack I do, motion detectors go off again, I blow it again, and the cycle repeats. I repeated this 6 times, doing different, easy hacks, yet after every one, they came back and set off the motion detectors, until I had no more money, and they came back and busted me anyway. I was doing hacks that shouldn't have even been detected, like changing the academic database while using a monitor bypass (and yes, I was very quick about deleting the logs, you don't earn over 4 million credits if you don't know how to do it). I'll try to repeat this and see if it happens again, but it just seemed that once I blew up the first server, they were bound and determined to track me no matter how simple the next hack.
------------------
I've noticed a few minor things (mostly graphical glitches) that I think qualify as bugs:
1. With the HUD:Connection Analyzer open, when I'm connected to a server whose name wraps onto three lines, the bottom 1/3 of the third line will be cut off.
2. With the HUD:Connection Analyzer open, when I'm running a Monitor Bypass (and, I assume, other bypasses as well, although I haven't tried them to see), the bypass will remain on screen even after the connection analyzer is closed. This can make it difficult to read emails, mission descriptions, etc., as you have a "floating monitor" that obscures part of the text.
3. When using the IP Probe program, pressing return instead of clicking "go" will lock the the probe into "probing" mode, without it actually doing any work. You then have to close it, re-enter the IP address, and click the button for it to work.
4. On systems such as InterNIC that require only a password login, you have to type the password yourself -- the "known passwords" field displays the password, but it isn't clickable like full username/password combinations are.
5. When using multiple log deleters (v4.0 tested), sometimes the log deleters will be finished, but still display a (frozen) partly-filled, green status bar. Setting them onto another file fixes the glitch.
When I am hacking into an account to transfer some money to myself, I do everything I need to, send the money to my account at the same bank as the guy I stole from, delete statements (from his account AND mine), disconnect, delete my logs, and finish up, but when I quit and reload, I dont have the money in my account!! Ive done this twice, and both times I lose my 900k!

-It seems every time I try to connect to a LAN, the game quits. No messages or anything. I can't seem to find a crash log. This has happened with the Objective Tech. LAN and either the Ascendent or Apollo LAN...one of those "A" ones. This happens no matter if I bounce the connection or connect directly.
-In one of the "anonymous donation" missions, I transferred the money to the account, then deleted the statements for both accounts to cover the transaction. When I replied, they said the transfer had not yet occurred. Should I not have deleted the statement logs on the receiving end, or is it a bug? ------------------ -scope Carpe Aptenodytes!

This happens in the PC version of the game, too. I think it's just to let you know it's still running.

How do you put it down?

You right-click. It can be tricky to let it go, but it is possible.

Just an idea...

I suggested the idea of removing the error message that complains when music.dat is missing. I was told it would cause major crashes. Aparrently the music file contains s3m files. I am looking into s3m audio files now and when I come up with a solution I will be sure to post it here and to the add-ons.

That would be excellent. Right now, the music is deafeningly loud. I'd optimally like to be able to turn off the music but still hear the interface sounds, but I'd take quieter music, too.

My version of uplink does not say anything about about registering, exept as an agent. Name and password.
Its not in the uplink program itself, but in the "Register Uplink" app.

Need to confirm bug. I had to blow up my beatiful trinity today cause the feds were close by. I bought a new one and maxed it all out. Now when I activate the motion sension the red light is always on. I hopped onto IRC and someone mentioned it was a bug. Can anyone confirm?

I had the same problem. To get around it just transfer the money without deleting any statement logs, then reply to mission. At least this worked for me...
Oh you might want to clean up after yourself after getting paid

Several bugs I don't think were mentioned that are annoying-
1. When I disconnect from somewhere and then go on the World Map, the Ok button is still partly visible below the map. This usually annoys me slightly for some reason(maybe because it looks dumb and out of place) so I click it. This causes a big thing to appear on the screen. I haven't clicked on it in a while, but I remember that it causes something to cover about half the map or so.
2. I just recieved the email from Arunmor telling me to send Revelation to them, rather than complete the ARC mission. But when I send it to them, a beep sounds that sounds like the email wasn't sent or something like that, and I even fast forward a few days, but nothing happens. I still have the email, and they didn't send me another email. I don't know what's wrong. I didn't make a new email, I hit reply. I included Revelation as an attachment, and I never sent it to ARC.
3. I'm not sure if this is a bug or what, but when I bought the IRC Chat Software, I entered my name info in the boxes that appeared, but no matter where I clicked, it wouldn't log me on.
4. The bug with copying files to your memory banks where instead of clicking where you want it to be stored, the data must be dragged over it before it will work.
5. One time, I experimentally clicked on Version 1.0 Tracing Software twice to see if it bought it twice or not, and it did. This might not sound like a bug, but I think that if you buy something, the game shouldn't allow you to buy it again, so that you don't waste money. I mean, imagine if you spent an hour or so getting enough credits for a few upgrades but accidentally clicked on software you already owned a few times and lost all of your money, or if you lost the money you needed to pay of the Government and your loan at the bank was already 4000 Credits.

One thing I don't see is the developers stepping in to tell us if these bugs are being fixed so I hope they respond here and tell us when the appropriate patches will be implemented.

Try scrolling down the menu. Sometimes the files are further down the list and aren't visible.
Now for my bug: I have the game set at 800/600, fullscreen mode, but the game appears in a window. My monitors rez is at 1024/768, but if I change it to match, it's to small, and I cant see all of the game widow.
I have a 266mhz beige G3 tower, with a 32mb ATI Radeon card.

Yeah...I got every LAN I could and every time I try to connect to one, either directly or indirectly, the game quits with no error messages. And last time I hit the 'x' in the upper left corner to log out, then hit exit, Uplink quit, but a window saying it quit unexpectedly popped up...I expected it to quit

Yea, im seeing that now too, is this a bug?
------------------ Now pass this on! If you don't, you'll be eaten by crocodiles.
On the map screen, I find it difficult to create a 'link' to another computer with only 1 click. Sometimes, I can click as many as 5 times before the 'link' is created.
Also, I would like to change the volume... not just 'on' or 'off.'

Unfortunatly there is no way to do this. The music and sound effects are also locked together. Hopefully this will be fixed in a later release, but from the sounds of it, it will require quite a few code changes.
