Wow, I'm so happy I checked my list of old games and saw this... ONLINK IS ALIVE

Great to see a new update! Totally hooked again. =D

I'm running 0.2.6-b1 via Wine on OSX and haven't seen any savegame issues at all.

Discovered one quirky bug while doing the Musana mission (Ferrous LAN stage):
- Disconnecting from the Ferrous Moon Gateway System triggered a crash.
- Restarting, the game seems to resume from the state before crash
- All apps I had loaded into a File Catalogue for easy copying to the ACS have suddenly disappeared from my files. See screenshot
Any ideas?

upload your savefile so we can check it out for ourselves!

speaking of, have you heard of [libspng](https://libspng.org/) ? not only is it [faster](https://libspng.org/comparison.html), but it actually has a *sane* API (unlike libpng - read the API and Error Handling-sections in the comparison page)

i wonder what Ferrous Moon is up to,

think i found a bug: if playing in fullscreen-mode in 1280x720(16:9) resolution during the "A tribute to Musana"-mission, then it's impossible to scroll down to the bottom of the "Further Instructions" email, and impossible to read the last part of the email, with the last visible line reading "have no predictions of what he" (and then impossible to scroll further down.) - note that this is not reproducible when playing in 1980*1080 resolution. (just switching resolution makes the whole email readable)

probably said it before, but i'll say it again:

i want an "ignore mission" button to remove available missions from the list.

if you're trying to max out the Neuromancer rating, there's lots of missions you'd never accept anyway, and it's annoying to keep having them on the list while FF-ing and waiting for new missions to appear.

I know it's a 2 years bump. But I hope development is not completely dead

Actually more active lately than more recent history, but most discussion is taking place in Discord these days.

Bump - is the community finally dead or someone still lurking around?

Ye, I'm still here.

As a long time fan of both Uplink and Onlink, I hope things are still moving forward.
I dont know how to get on the discord, and I dont know how accurate this forums activity shows the progress.

I'm having problems downloading the Game.
I've tried links on this forum, aswell as some links ive found on steam forums.
I've also tried a "OnlinkUpdate-Latest.exe" that I downloaded sometime in 2021, but that didnt seem to work.

Anyone have the setup files? Or can get a hold of the devs?
Also I'd love a discord invite.

EDIT: I've got it now.
I found this link: 'http://ferrousmoon.com/OnlinkSetup-0.2.6-b2.exe' on the Uplink Discord server (https://discord.com/invite/jeKYfRX)
