Game ends

[Tjiller]

I have been playing uplink for a while, never gotten to the storyline missions though.
Something always stops me from advancing.

As just before I contacted this forum, I was maneuvering on a LAN. I had to erase the harddisk but the administrator stopped me every time. I figured I maybe had to leave the main computer and jump around on the lan to avoid him.
This is one problem. Some info would be good, but I probably can figure this out - the reason one does not have sufficient time to erase mainframe.

Here is the BIG problem:
I am terminated as a hacker after the above play. And so it has been many times. I always delete my logs in internic. And I always deconnect before trace is 100%

Are there more criterias which need fulfilling in order to keep in hacking business?

This has been an issue since I started playing about a year ago, and I'd be thankful beyond measures for a solution. Thank you

here is everything you will need to help solve your problem

[Tjiller]

Thank you.
But I have been using that page since forever.
Me being fired from uplink is maybe related to handling LANs, but that is not an information I can find there.

If there are players in this forum who have gotten as far as to the storline missions, you probably know which factors afar from the log deleting which should be taken into measures.

I am very familar with that page, I might add.

One question to ask oneself: Must logs be deleted immediately after administrator has caught you in a LAN?
That's one thing I'll try. I write it here to point people to ask themselves if they could be aware of the "x-factor". (the one that kills me)

[orillian]

You will almost certainly never have time to delete logs on the target server, you need to delete the earlier ones, a lan, even if you get active trace on it will still perform a passive trace afterwards.

[Tjiller]

Thank you for response.

I always go to internic after one ore more missions and delete all logs which say: routed to (x).

Nonetheless, many times I am through with a mission I get kicked - usually lan missions.

It's not that I'm a noob - I wrote that I didn't get to the storyline, but I have had big computers with 2 200ghz processors, all available top level software., etc.

The "x-factor" as I call it, is the one that ends my game, even if I have taken every precaution.

If there are players who are so advanced that they have entered the storyline, maybe you know about such factor. Plz help

[orillian]

Well if you are familiar with the UUG as you say you are, then you should realise you are not deleting enough logs, as for what ends the game, if you log onto the agent after you get caught you get a screen with all your in game stats including who caught you and why.

I have four dead characters on uplink. 3 of them got caught after a lan attack. I sure don't know how to prevent it, other than log deleting in internic.
