What is it with this game and all these bugs? i've played for 30+ hours now as Morgan, discovered Secrets of AC & all other required techs; got the message that any faction can now start accent to transcendance but ... guess what? The option isn't offered in any of the base production screens! Talk about frustrated... and then, of course, there's the sound(s) problem -- choppy -- some play all at once -- movies slow and it all sounds like a garbled radio transmission with a lot of squeeks, squalks, and other error type sounds. Are you guys gonna fix this or did I pay $43 for a disc full of bugs? (and running SIS6205 sound chip on mother board, a Blaster Banchee card, 200 mhz Pentium w/32mg ram). Other games don't give these types of problems!

Ensure that you've got the victory condition enabled. If you've used a tutorial, then when starting a new game selected Use Current Rules, all forms of victory will be disabled. To re-enable them, hit ctrl-K, then yes, the shift-f10. Select the ones you want and hit okay, then CTRL-K again.
What's DXDiag.exe think of your soundcard?
