Hi, I am new & have a couple of questions about Uplink.

Postby chef123 » Wed Aug 30, 2006 10:00 pm

Hi People, I am new here, butnot new to forums so before anyone starts to flame me, yes I have used the search function and cannot seem to find the answer to my following questions.

Okay this game, I have it installed on my laptop and really enjoying it. Apart from getting caught now and then and trying to work certain things out.

Right my problems are as follows:

No1…
Whenever I open the game to play again and choose my user name the Tracer Tracker is not already enabled, I have to go into application settings and choose it again for it to run, which is odd as before I reformatted my laptop it remembered it.

No2…

Every now and then when I exit the game:
I get a pop up window box saying uplink.exe has caused a system error and we are sorry for this etc blah blah blah. All I do is click the box (OK) and all is fine, Although I will stress this does not happen that often.

No3…. (Final prob )

I am using 800x600 screen res by default, before I reformatted my laptop I remembered the log in box’s (where you type name and password) were centred on the screen now they are a lot more centred towards the left hand side. This is not a problem but perhaps the game developers may be interested or know of a problem about this.


Thanks anyway guys and girls, seriously enjoying this game/sim, whatever you wish to call it.

Thanks

K, (UK)

I don't remember any such feature.

NO Mine is black and glossy, I just get tired of people on forums like this automaticallly assuming you are a warez monkey.

Not everyone is ! some people buy games as they like to support developers to make more games in the future. But perhaps some people just tar everyone with the same brush
