Playing Links in Gameranger - Solution

Post by Pancho »

Found a solution that works for me! Finally. Since moving from Win 7 to Win 10, I have been unable to play Links on GR and I just now found out why. It was because my Windows 10 account name in Win 10 had a space in it. It seems GR's server interprets a space as an ampersand, and when it looks in your registry for the game using an ampersand where there should be a space, it can't find it. The solution was to create a new user account with no spaces in it. Install GR into that account and then as long as you selected to install Links "for all users," it should work.
