Uplink OS BETA v097 for the STEAM version of Uplink - Trust is a Weakness. Ah! Long time no see. Sorry about the wait, but I had a pretty hectic week, which can also be seen in the "minuscule" change log XD.
Uplink OS v097 BETA for STEAM
Ah! Long time no see. Sorry about the wait, but I had a pretty hectic week, which can also be seen in the "minuscule" change log XD
Thought I'd release it already, since it contains fixes for some pretty game-breaking bugs. Enjoy!
NOTE: Do take in mind, that some changes need a NEW USER created!
NOTE2: If you're updating from pre-093, you need to clean the 'users' folder!
Installation
Inside the archive you'll find the UplinkOS executable, its resource files and the ReadMe.
In case you're like me and you don't read ReadMes, here's the installation instructions:
- Of course, you'll need the STEAM version of the game.
- After downloading the Mod, unzip it into a place of your choice.
- Go to Uplink's installation folder. In STEAM's case, the default is: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Uplink
- Copy the contents of the Mod's zip file into this folder.
- Go to the "users" folder. Back-up & move/delete all the files here.
- Back-up the original Uplink.exe.
- Rename UplinkOS.exe to Uplink.exe.
- Now just run Uplink from the STEAM interface and your ready to start hacking!
This is a BETA so you will encounter some bugs that I missed (especially in the later parts of the game where I didn't test as often as I should have). In case you encounter something please make a screenshot and post about it in the BUGS forum.

What's this...? ._.
Err... a mod? Haha!
Its a re-skin/design of a hacking simulator game called Uplink. It makes the interface much more intuitive and user friendly.
Thanks for the continued updates dude!!!
Haha! Thaaanks! <3
Hopefully there's not much to go till the final, gold version! :D
What do you mean by 'gold' version? :P
Hello again! Overwrote .96 with .97 files, but now when I try to register as a new agent, it crashes once the load bar reaches 100%. Every time, so far. Tried deleting user folder and creating new, still crashed out on me. Any information you need for troubleshooting?
EDIT: I had to uninstall Uplink and delete everything, reinstall Uplink and then UplinkOS and it appears to be working now
Hmmm... i think maybe the 'uplinkHD' folder wasn't -somehow- entirely overwritten. That's usually what causes this. Maybe next time, if it still happens, try deleting the UplinkOS files (exe + uplinkHD folder + user notes/hotkeys), that should fix the problem, most probably.
I'm not sure if it's the mod but I can't complete the second ARC mission because the LAN map for the Darwin LAN is unbeatable. There's no authentication servers for these 3 locks on the LAN. I probed everything. Are subnets working on this mod?
Hmmm... I'll have to check it.
I've also found this thread that speaks of the same problem: Gamefaqs.com
There's also some cases when a LAN hack can't be completed "silently", that is you may have to use the LAN_Force to break through some locks.
By "subnets" do you mean connecting to the same LAN through different routers/modems? Yes, they are working.
Not sure if it's because of the mod but I can't finish the tutorial :/. I downloaded the file from the server, erased the logs, but when I send the email with the filed attached nothing happens.
Ok I know what I did wrong. If anyone has the same problem, you need to create a new account after installing the mod (even if you haven't done anything with your previous account)
Ah happy you worked it out and didn't lost too much progress. Yes, some bug fixes only take effect after a new game is started, unfortunately. :(
