I just got Alpha Centauri and I can't get it to work. I have Windows NT and I did the full installation. I have Sevice pack 3 for windows and patch 3.1 for Alpha Centauri. I've tried presetting my set to 256 colors 640x480 but it doesn't work. The problem is when I run it the screen shows the logo and loads for a little while then just freezes. I know on the box it said it was for Windows 95/98 so im starting to wonder. I've emailed Tech Support already. If anyone else is having this problem and fixed it i'd like to hear, thanks. |

For what it's worth, I'm having exactly the same problem on a Dell G1 that uses an ATI 3D Rage Pro driver... |

Hi all, Not that I'm an expert, but wouldn't you need SP4 to get the directX uptodate? I'd go for that! Might I ask where you got patch 3.1 from for SMAC? Neil |

1) I believe the game requires 800*600 to run 2) It's because of winNT's lacking directX that NT is not officially supported. Some have got it running, but others haven't |

Ive had that problem too.. but long as i don't touch the keyboard while the cd is reading at the start.. and just let it load till the firaxis logo movie screen, it works just fine.. but if i want to lock my computer up... i just start the game and hit a key imediately... i also have had it lock up after trying to restart it while windows was clearing its "virtual memory" of smac from a previous time running.. ie. 15s-1min after exiting smac before |
