  • HELP! It simply doesn't work!

    Hello!

    Ok, 3 years later, I'm trying to play again but it didn't work on my new machine. So I went here to learn what to do. Alas, new problems arose!

    -- Laptop, Pentium 4, 2.4 , 512 Ram, Windows XP

    -- I first installed SMAC, then SMAX, then the last two patches SMAC4 and SMAX2, then the XP compatibility patch.
    -- Then, I changed the line from " =0 " to " =1" in the AC.ini file

    Problems are:
    -- when it asks "Classical" or "Alien Crossfire" and I click on "Classical", it crashes! It just disappears.
    -- When I click on "Alien Crossfire", it begins ok. But I can only play a "Quick start" (and I don't want to). Otherwise, I can only go so far in the customization as the Customization of rules. When I save them, it says "TERRANX. ICD has encountered a problem..blah blah blah." and it closes all!

    So, sorry but these weren't discussed. I did everything talked about in the FAQ.
    Someone can help? And, please, use common terms: I'm no computer nut and my windows is not in English.

    I've encountered that problem once before too. Fortunately a simple reinstall solved the problem. Have you already tried that?

      Hem, no!
      I shall...at once!

      But do I reinstall only SMAX or also all the patches and all the tralala?
      Bloody computers!

        You need to reinstall the whole rimram. The reason is that a 'vanilla' reinstall overwrites the patches.

          I just reinstalled SMAX...but IT WORKED!!
          After 3 years, at last...

          I'll see another day if I have to reinstall something else; now, I have a Believer to crush, yoohooh!

                Or just use terran.exe and terranx.exe in future.
