How good are you at SMAC, honestly?

Dumb me! I am on window XP. Any known problem with it? I'm still have problems.

Are you getting an error message?

[Googlie]

I'm running on Win XP with no problems (other than the interceptor scramble bug, which is wheelmouse related and not unique to XP)

Some others have problems loading the game, though, and there are several threads around the fixes (mostly sequence in installing the various patches, the no-cd crack and the .ini files)

If you have smax on your disc (but no cd) get the crack from here

and try replacing your alphacentauri.ini file with thie:

No. It's just that I don't see any difference before and after the extraction of the files.

Thanks GooglieGod! I'll try this.

(SMAC works just fine before and after like nothing really happened to it.)
