iirc it's directdraw=1, I was playing like that for a while, but I could be wrong.

It's either the line "[PREFERENCES]ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1" at the end of my Alpha Centauri.ini file or the line "[Alpha Centauri]DirectDraw=0" at the beginning. Don't know anymore which one does what. I'm also open for some games, if someone wants to (even others, like my favorite Total Annihilation). Should fix that Vehicle-Thing on SMAX though, since you can't reach lategame with that ... no one an experience on that?

Direct draw and force voxel trick does not work with some laptops running Intel HD family embedded cards.

I know it used to not work and be crashy on modern comps, but I thought scient fixed that?

Coming back to my other and way bigger issue: Anyone has an idea why Internet-Savegames crash ACX in the loading process 1st after about 100 to 150 turns and 2nd at the part of the Vehicle-Loading? The save files are loaded without problems in Singleplayer, but always crash in Multiplayer at the Vehicles-Part. ACX-Versions of the players are the same on all data / files. It somehow makes playing impossible and we had no such issue on AC. It's just ACX.

No idea at all.

Provide reproducible saves and all the detail you can and one of the .exe modders may take a look at it

Attached one save file (you probably need my faction pack). What details you need?

http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?board=23.0 post a topic there with all the relevant downloads, explain exactly what situations cause a crash.

I'm not an exe modder, I won't be able to help. Yitzi may be able to, or scient/kryub if they return.
