In 3 words provenance, documentation and availability :cheers1:

https://linkscorner.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=17540#p17540 This thread is from a few years back. A guy who went by "boot" was touting some patch that was developed by some guy that fixed everything! But it was top secret. Perhaps the same patch? :cheers1: I recall seeing this thread earli...

Re: Links 2003: Nothing seems to help get it to run on my computer.

Just PM .... as I already posted. He can answer anything you wish to know. Patch is well known. It was on Discord for a couple of years before they took the server down. That's where I found out about Links Corner searching out old golf games. There is a big no public sharing thing around the patch...

Re: Links 2003: Nothing seems to help get it to run on my computer.

Can I suggest all those who cannot run the game message .... who is a member here. I don't know if he is still active but worth a try. He released a patch on Discord which makes Links totally compatible on every system. I don't know of a single issue with the patch it works. You don't need to do an...

Re: Links 2003: Nothing seems to help get it to run on my computer.

Now the game runs under Windows 11, but not always on the first launch. Sometimes it has to be started several times, and very rarely it doesn't run at all. Ditto in spades :fear: One thing I have just tried differently today after the usual was to exit Razer Synapse altogether + Razer's Game Manag...

Re: recently game wont open after many years of flawless operation

Certainly, when you install Links into the standard Program Files location, it will require privileges to allow you to run it. This is because the program can add/remove files from this folder tree while the software is running, for example course files. I do not recall if it insists on same if you...

Re: Links 2003 will not run

I am at rather a loss to understand why this is occurring. As am I. :dunno: However this morning I just booted up, did not quit anything but did change the audio from speakers to headphones in Windows et voila Links started first time without issue on Windows 11. No guarantee though this will be re...

Re: Links 2003 will not run

Another month has gone by in my search for The Holy Grail. Links can start (on rare occasions first time) but most times can be anywhere between 1-20 restarts. No other game I play does this so no change on that score. System continues to be updated as required (BIOS, Graphics drivers, Chipset drive...
