Hm, it looks like I'm the only one who didn't get any kind of bug or problem ever since the first beta-patch. :) Glad that you guys still support it though. Thanks for that. :)

By the way, where can I post suggestions for minor tweaks in future patches?

Please guys, make this Patch available for the german version too.
The german version with patchnumber 1.31 is very buggy and it crashes often :(

Oh, by the way...does this demo have anything different than the old one besides the patch? Something extra like the second Darwinia demo?

No, this demo is exactly like the first one, tons of bugs removed.

Thank you very much for switching to a new sound library. For the longest time, when using a Creative soundcard, the sound has been... slightly less that great, compared to other computers/soundcards I have. Now, it sounds like I expect it to sound.

Hi,

Nice to see Uplink being maintained! I maintain a (currently unofficial) package for uplink for the Gentoo Linux distribution.

Two questions:
1) Where's the linux patch? (Can I have a fairly permanent download location if possible please, this is going to go into the package file which tells users PCs where to download it)

2) Is there an updated demo for linux (and if so, where is it)?


Thanks in advance,

Allen
