Well, I just rebought (lent my last copy to a "friend" and never got it back...) Uplink, it arrived this morning, and I installed the linux version from the disk (running Ubuntu 6.10, by the way). Had problems from install, googled and found that I needed to rename libgcc_s.so.1 to something else to get it to run properly. Patched to 1.53, played for a while and boom. Anti-warez kicks in and I lose all my hard work :'(

Here's me wondering if the renaming of the file, or the fact that there are several copies of several files because of my attempts to fix bad framerates, is related to the problem...

Edit: Deleted the backup files, played for a while, still kicked me out. Presume it's a similar problem to the other guy then...

Yeah, for some times the version provided on the CD was wrong, it didn't included the world.dat file.

Now you have you 2 possibilities:
1)Redownload Uplink Linux from the store.
2)Install the windows version from the cd and copy world.dat over to your Linux Uplink directory.

unfortunately my version comed recently from the store, not the cd, so it hardly apply.
also my problem was code required in creating a new account, not kicked of during play.

This is wonderful. I haven't played since 1.31

Thanks I.V. I always believed in this company. Now that Darwinia and Defcon and making them some money we'll soon have even more inventive games.

I've found that the game seems to think it's an illegal copy when transferring users.

This has just happened to me. I installed uplink on my windows partition (because I couldn't get the linux version to work)

After fixing the linux problem (silly me - forgot to copy copy the .dat files to lib) I copied my user profile across (It's a good profile, and I wasn't in the mood to work back up to that state) and within a short space of time I got the "illegal copy" game end.

I assume this is the cause, as a new profile I created does not have this problem.

1) 1.53 is not the latest version.

2) There is a bug report forum.

3) If .dat files are corrupted/missing Uplink will throw you out for 'warez'. Behaviour in Uplink 1.55 was changed a bit, perhasp give it a try.

Sorry about that :( (did a search to see if people were having these problems, guess I should've checked the thread title)
