Help!!!
I have a 1.7Ghz pentium 4, and AC ran fine straight from the cd without any problems. I then installed the patch for 4.0, and it wont run. I get a screen that says alphacentauri doesnt support this processor, you can run the game but it may crash. When i say ok im dumped out! What should i do?

When i originally ran the game, i got a sceen that was almost all balck except for my mouse and two boxes. i couldnt read them, but when i clicked the left one the game worked fine. I guess that was it

I think the solution to this is to enter the "alpha centauri.ini" file, and add (or change) the file so that it includes:

[PREFERENCES]
ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1

Probably at the very top of the file. Mine has the line already, but set to 0, YMMV.

We need to put this on a 'Topped' thread or something - the number of people who ask it...

Chowlett did that 5 hours ago. Doesn't help, though, if people don't read the topped threads.
