Thank you so much, Ive been waiting for this update for a long time.

Ah, the long awaited day... Now, to wait for Onlink...

<edit> And, so as not to sound ungrateful, thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou Onlink people for the UB. Uplink is definitely one of my favorite Ambrosia games. We'll see how high it stays on the list when Aquaria comes out, though... </edit>

Well, since the legalities of an Uplink UB have been worked out this probably means that Onlink for Mac is not too far behind. Hell, Onlink's been Mac-runnable for a long time now, the problem's been working things out with Ambrosia.

Way to go to Ambrosia! Thanks for the good news!

first I'd like to thank you because the mac version 1.3.4 or whatsoever had a bug with that I could not continue hacking some lans.
but 2nd i have tested the new version and it crashes always when opening up the lan window . anyone had same experience?

Check in User/Library/Application Support/Uplink to get the log files, and systems specs please.

The timing for this couldn't be better. Check out what I'm working on for my final project in my Comp Sci class (learning assembly)

Hehe

I have the same kind of problem, but not exactly the same. I'm running MacBook Pro, 15-inch, 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Here's the log:

It gives me just enough time to make a user, then it crashes with no explanation. I use v1.3.4 and have never had a problem. Any advice anyone?

Edit: When I force it to be opened in Rosetta, it works. However, for obvious reasons, this solution isn't as good as I'd like it to be. Any help would be great.

I've got the same problem with Uplink crashing out also. I'm running the trial version, thought I'd give it a go before buying - fix the problem and you've got a sale. Can usually run it for a few minutes before it dies on me. I'm running OS 10.4.11 on a PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz.
