CPU not supported

[vishniac]

Hello!
Having installed SMAC and SMAX today on my new PC with XP, when I want to start, it says "CPU not supported, crashes are possible".
Then I try to go on and it stops.

What to do? (and say it as simple as possible, please! I'mno computer geek! )

Common problem with Win XP - all you have to do:

Go into the Alpha Centauri.cfg file in the main folder,

Type in "ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1" at the bottom of that file, and save it.

Should then work.

First of all - get the latest patch
Then... search this forum, its quite a common XP problem.

Edit : crosspost - now you don't need to search the forum... but isn't the right file Alpha Centauri.ini ?

I believe it is Alpha Centauri.ini as well.
