This is effectively a bug-fix patch, built on top of the big Nakatomi patch we released a month ago. This is version 1.3 - it fixes numerous small and large bugs and hopefully doesn't introduce any new ones
Linux users have had the most changes this time round, with completely re-written graphics and sound back-ends to use SDL. Uplink should work much better this time round. Thanks to the Linux Beta testers who helped us get that working.
This patch will install on any version of Uplink - simply unzip onto your Uplink directory. You don't need to re-install Uplink. You don't need to restart your users - they will be compatible.
As usual, download the patches from the Other Files page.
