Microsoft C++ Visual Runtime Error

[Chaz Greymane]

I just ordered the game online and have installed it with the download verson from the website. which I believe is 1.31 right off the bat. well it seems that every so often one of my account sign in will become corrupt. every time I try to load it, I get a Runtime Error. it doesn't produce an error log for the game.

I'm currently trying the 1.31c patch, but i can't run in full screen mode, the background flickers and everything leaves shadows. I'm playing in windowed mode, although I would rather play in full screen for the immersion factor.

my system layout is:
Windows XP pro SP2
AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 754 pin
1gb (2x512 mb) PC3200 ram
MSI Neo K8T FISR systemboard
Asus nvidia 6800 512mb video card
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Gamer

any help would be appreicated. and also, for the graphical problems, it seems the download verson doesn't have the opengl file in the game directory.

I guess you already have the latest nvidia drivers.

Perhaps you could try creating a new video profile in the nvidia driver for Uplink. Disable everything from anisotropic filtering to anti aliasing settings.

yes, i've updated all drivers. so I'm running the 84 series drivers.

as for AS and AA, i leave all that application controlled. I tend to leave that stuff off in most games seeing as how it's the biggest framerate drops in most graphical intensive games. but i haven't had the corrupt problem yet on 1.31c, although the lack of full screen mode is kind of annoying.

EDIT: hey, thanks for the idea on the profile thing, i can play in full screen mode now, I think it may have been the vsync setting.
