Uplink Hints
Problems with File Servers..
1 of 3: First of all, do NOT take any assignments that say "...about 100 Gigaquads..." if you don't have over 100Gq of space. The companies' file servers do NOT accept more than 100Gq unless you stick the files in all at once (and sometimes not even then). In one of the special missions this sometimes causes problems. Refer to that section for details.
2 of 3: The 70Gq assignments are OK, but the game crashes occasionally when you try to reply after a successful mission. When you've completed your task, connect to Uplink Internal Services Machine, let the game run at double speed for a while and then disconnect. Now the game should be saved should the bug occur, and you won't have to de-log again.
3 of 3: If the crash happens twice, you'll have to Abandon the mission. Sorry :(
