LANs

[3DReality]

Having to start a new account each time you want a new lan is bad, why not just make it so that if the lan IP is bad it relocates it

Because that would involve recoding the game again and releasing yet another patch and Chris is kinda busy at the moment with porting the game to other systems and also making the new game.

Why didn't you just ask this in the other thread about lans you made rather then making another one?

Actually, you don't need to start a new user when adding in extra LANs. Uplink automatically searches for new ones each time you start the game. This was fixed in the V1.3 patch.

- Changed : Uplink will now search for new LANs in data/lans everytime you start a new game OR load a game.  Newly found LANs will be added to your existing game - there is no longer any need to start a new user to load new LAN files.

See? :biggrin:

I stand corrected on the issue of lans.

Of course, if the user in question was only using the 1.2 patch, then you'd be perfectly correct.

Unfortuantely I am using the latest patch as I only got the game last week and downloaded the patch :-S
