Hmmm, well I've just installed the UK version of AC and I'm running a TNT AGP with the detonater drivers and when I run the game the screen goes black and white!

I've got the new CLabs drivers based on the detonater drivers to try and various other ones to muck about with but is anyone else having and probs?

Dammit, why is it that no game company, apart from the fps guys, can get their games to run properly on TNT...it's such an awesome card.

Pleeeese help me!

To expand, after reading some msgs...

I've done a complete install, I've got DirectX 6.1, a bucket of HD space, 128 mb of memory...800 x 600 x 32 desktop settings, Win 98 and latest drivers for everything.

Weird, cos Quake 2 does the same thing when I try to use my TNT.

The intro was fine, the main screen was fine for all of 2 secs until I moved the mouse then 'bang' straight to black and white menus , quick started and the same there

<sob>

Please help me!!!

Try adding to directdraw=0 to alpha centauri.ini file. Also, manually set your desktop bit depth to 8 (256 colors).
