I also just bought the STEAM version and would really like to see patch 1.55 published.

So do we use the 1.55 beta or the 1.60 unofficial on steam versions?

1.60 unofficial? Are you talking about Onlink?
Uplink help: Check out the Guide or FAQ.
Latest Uplink patch is v1.55.

I see I'm not the only one that's waiting for updates to Uplink on steam....

In order to access the latest "beta" Uplink, do the following steps:
1. Exit Steam if it is running (right click on the tray icon, Exit).
2. Windows|Run

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe" -beta TODAYSPASSWORD
or

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -beta TODAYSPASSWORD
if you are running Windows x64.
3. Run Uplink (you may need to update manually if you have explicitly configured it not to update automatically).

Please post any successes or problems that you have in the Bug Reports forum.

Your feedback is invaluable to us, please don't hesitate to give it!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes:

- Fixed : A crash with LANs having invalid links. (check the debug.log to see the warnings)
- Fixed : A crash with LANs having modems without phone number.
- Fixed : Crashes with PasswordBreaker/DictionaryHacker if their target screen isn't there anymore.

- Added : A code card (codecard.txt) to the online download version of Uplink.
- Added : Software rendering option to the Windows version of Uplink. Also change to software rendering if the game crash during OpenGL initialization.
- Added : Show Bank IP on the Finance interface.

This "beta" update doesn't work AFAIK.
Tried to verify game cache several times with this command line, nothing gets updated at all, it's still "1.54Steam" there.


Are the devs still alive and willing to publish this last patch to Steam? ;(

Edit: it seems to work after a while, but verifying game cache downgrade to 1.54steam. :/

Hi Guys

I too am surprised that after all this time uplink has never officially been updated to 1.55 on Steam.
Update does appear to work ok though, had to remember to exit first, and restart steam from command line.
Still noted that when you zoom in on the map screen the coordinates for the servers are wrong. You still have to click below and to the right of the square.

I just bought this game on Steam, and am upset to find that it is impossible to play correctly on my computer due to the steam version being 1.54 and unable to update. I have a large widescreen monitor and the game is only on part of the screen and too small to read, since it doesn't appear to be working correctly with my resolution. I have not been able to force it to run in windowed mode, and I have not successfully been able to get the command line "Trick" to work at updating my game either. Please, does anyone have any ideas?

Of course it won't work. Advice given in ignorance is the least helpful. Maybe you'll give medical advice next.


However there is a command line option for playing the game in a windowed mode. Ask about it on the steam forums. Seems no one here gives two cents about Steam here(including the devs).

Now that all Introversion-games are on sale in the Humble Bundle with Steam Keys, can we expect the Steam-version of Uplink to be properly updated to 1.55 or 1.6, please? :?
