Uplink Hints
General mission problems (crashes).
1 of 3: Replying to mission pages too fast may crash your game. Thus, reply to them one at a time.
2 of 3: Re-arranging your Memory Banks occasionally crashes the game. Do it a few files at a time and you'll be safe.
3 of 3: When you have a saved connection route, delete a link (or just put it out of sight in the World Map) and load the route, you'll see jumping lines. This may sometimes cause a crash -- the game will definitely crash if you delete a link while the bounce is operational (the 'X' buttons are visible on the screen, just left of the map).
