Hack into the Uplink and Delete Agent files?

Postby Dan123The123Man » Sun Jun 05, 2011 10:12 am

I was wondering what would happen if you hacked into the Uplink or maybe it's the "InterNIC", i'm not 100% sure which it was exactly. When I hacked into it though there were files that had like Agent 1, Agent 2, Agent 3, ect. What happens if you delete all of those files?

because I don't want to get the Disavowed message, and because I figured posting this in the "Tips and Hints" section, maybe somebody knows what would happen and could go ahead and let me know, before I screw myself over by deleting files that could be important somehow.

I have no idea what would happen, so backup your user files before you do it. If you have the Steam version, it's in /Steam/steamapps/common/uplink/users.
Yes, it's cheating, but if you want to be safe, that's the only way. Backup your save files regularly!

seriously try it, the only way you get disavowed is if you forget to clear your trail, do this and you will be fine.
