How do I get a screenshot? When I try "prtscn", all I get is the image of my desktop. Is there a key in game, or a trick I am missing?

Trace a hacker mission acting like a trace a bank transfer?

I have a trace a hacker mission that, when I've traced it to the hacker's personal computer and email his name, I get a response saying that they know his account received the money, but that they want the name of the hacker who made the transfer. Problem is, this isn't a bank transfer trace I'm doi...

I didn't include it in my description above, but that was one of the first things I tried. In fact, I have removed the skins to an entirely different directory so that they no longer even show up as options, and I am still encountering the problem. Thanks for the suggestion, though. Anything else I ...

Could the graphics mods be messing with it? I have been trying different skins and looking through the debug.log I saw messages like this: "TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\uplink\Zaxus_Silver/hud/finance_c.tif: unknown field with tag 34016 (0x84e0) encountere...

I did create a new account and noticed that the speed was way slow. I also noticed a debug.log file when I was getting ready to back up my user save files. After reading through it, I saw I was only running 1.54. I followed the procedure for updating via Steam and now am running 1.55. However, it st...

Hmmm... it looks like the "very fast" button isn't working correctly, since I no longer see a difference between fast and very fast; both just increment the minutes quickly. I wonder if that is part of the problem... Should I delete the game and redownload? Can I save my game?

Unfortunately, this is a bigger problem, at least for me. It seems that it isn't the IRC that is crashing Uplink. When it gets to May 22, 2010, 18:08.06 it crashes, regardless of what is going on. I wonder if a mission is supposed to be delivered at that time and something is wrong? Help!

Ingame IRC causes crash

I have the Steam version of Uplink. When I try to access the IRC and hit connect, it loads up the IRC chat, shows the intro page and then Uplink completely disappears. It crashes without an error window... it just completely goes away. Honestly, this isn't a huge issue, since the IRC isn't something...

Can't frame someone for a crime

I have several of the frame missions. One in particular involves a bank. Well, I hack the bank without bypasses, getting a trace. I log off, modify my log at Internic, delete the access log and then go to new and wait. The crime is discovered, but they don't trace it back to the guy I'm trying to fr...

Thanks for your response. I posted at the GameTap forum suggesting that the company they are licensing this Uplink from might not have the legal right to do so. Is Steam an official, legal distributor of Uplink? I like keeping my online purchases to as few vendors as possible and would prefer to pur...

GameTap version crashing

I posted this in the General forum before I saw that there was a bug reports, so that other post can probably be deleted. I don't know if I should be contacting GameTap or if this is an issue to be addressed here, but I am getting a crash when I respond to certain messages. Specifically, the "s...

GameTap version crashing

I don't know if I should be contacting GameTap or if this is an issue to be addressed here, but I am getting a crash when I respond to certain messages. Specifically, the "steal research" missions. One of the missions I couldn't complete because of level 8 encryption... is that part of the...
