On linux, if you hit a crash, please report the relevant part of the ~/.uplink/debug.log file, please also report the distro you are using. All testing was done on Ubuntu 6.06 .

Also, please give the console output.

Code: Select all

time-laptop:/home/toby/Documents/uplink # ls
data.dat   graphics.dat  music.dat   sounds.dat  world.dat
fonts.dat  loading.dat   readme.txt  uplink
time-laptop:/home/toby/Documents/uplink # ./uplink
bash: ./uplink: Permission denied
time-laptop:/home/toby/Documents/uplink # sh uplink
uplink: uplink: cannot execute binary file
time-laptop:/home/toby/Documents/uplink #

Two things:

First, you're using an outdated version of uplink - you might want to install the 1.54 patch before playing, as it fixes a LOT of bugs/annoyances. (and if you start playing with your current version, which looks to be 1.32 or earlier, you might need to start over when you do update)

Second, if you really want to run that old version of uplink run the following command:

Code: Select all

su -c "chmod a+x uplink"

in the uplink folder.
After that, uplink should work.

On linux, if you hit a crash, please report the relevant part of the ~/.uplink/debug.log file, please also report the distro you are using. All testing was done on Ubuntu 6.06 .

Also, try 1.55, error hanclding is better and gives more info on the console.
