Issues... User file will not load

The loading screen comes up and out of no where, the application quits itself, without any alert.

Three things:

  1. I have Registered the game
  2. I run a Mac
  3. debug.log is consistently blank

Please help?

See if increasing the memory allocation helps.

Welcome to the boards, we hope you enjoy your stay 🙂

I don't think you CAN allocate more memory under OSX, if so, please correct me...
I also noticed that an equally old but less developed file opened fine, but I want the one file back, as it was difficult enough to attain Techno-Mage as it is...

You can't choose the allocated memory for an app, as the OS do it itself.

And to your problem, it look like it's screwed... Sorry.

Sometimes add-ons can mess up the game. If you used any while playing as that user, but the add-on isn't installed anymore, there will be a problem. Similarly, if you ever used a add-on that is corrupted or very old, it could mess up your user file as well.

If you haven't used any add-ons, the file could have just gotten corrupted randomly, which sometimes happens. Just one more reason to back up your user files.

You can boot into OS 9 and increase the memory allocation from there.

Some applications that run in both OSX and 9 will allow you to increase the allocation by checking "Open in the Classic environment" box, increasing the memory, and unchecking the Classic box, but, for some reason, Uplink doesn't have that box.
