Pentium 4 and Alpha Centauri
I currently own a Pentium 4 system, and when I play the updated version, i get an error; that the game will not support the processor; continue anyway? i hit yes, and it crashes. when i copy all the files in the update, except terrran.exe, so i'd get all pic and txt file updates, but then i get no functionality updates, e.g. mouse scrolling, manifold nexus, and custom map size. with the update installed in this semi-way, it will pop up while loading a blank screen with two small blue-outlined rectangles, in the middle, next to each other. thats it. but i hit the left one, and it works, the right one quits. im assuming this is only saying it is incompatible with my cpu. Is there any way I could have ALL the updates, like the mouse scrolll that i need SOOO much, installed, but have it work? what can i do? i hate this...

Dunno if this will help, but there is a thing mentioned in the readme about a "ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm"-line in the Alpha Centauri.ini-file.

I *think* I heard about someone using that trick and made it work with the Pentium 4. Iīm not sure though.

If you canīt find the reference in the readme, post here and Iīll try and dig it up for you (I donīt have it handy right now).

HTH.
Ced.

Per the readme file, change a AlphaCentauri.ini file line
from:
ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=0

to

ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1

Thank you!
It worked. Thanks a lot! I have been very frustrated since January, when I switched to a P4 system. Thank you!
