ERKUTHER?

[Googlie]

He prolly has the gameturn sitting in a spam filtered folder, as it's the first time I've e-mailed to him

I've resent it from another account (my googlie one at canada.com) so hopefully he'll recognize the "googlie" name if he looks at the sender this time

[Googlie]

Oh, and in case he automatically deletes spam mail, here's the turn in question:

[Maniac]

I already sent him a mail asking what's up. I think we may need another replacement.

[ERKUTHER]

whole heartedly apologize for the delay, my attention's been sidelined by Elder Scrolls Oblivion since begining of May and I think I've only checked my email twice since then.

I have a new system so I'll need to reinstall SMAC + the mode (thanks for posting to old version of the Mod) I should have sometime tonight to get it setup and play my turn.

[Maniac]

Good to hear of you!
Any progress with reinstalling?

[ERKUTHER]

I was able to install ok, but I'm getting a "your CPU is not supported, you may continue to play but may experience crashes" popup and it gives me an ok or cancel, but no matter which one i choose it kicks me out of of the game. Have any of you seen this before? I have an Athlon 64 3500+ and running 2k SP4, I have all the patchs for SMAC in place.

[Maniac]

In the Alpha Centauri.ini file, have you tried setting under Preferences ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm to 1?

[PREFERENCES]
ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1

Common problem with newer computers or when running Windows XP. (Though strangely enough, on my laptop I do not need to set the Algorithm to 1, while I had to on the older desktop )

If this doesn't work, you could also try downloading the XP Compatibility patch before setting the Algorithm to 1.

Thanks Maniac, that bit worked like a champ, sent 2115

[Maniac]

MY 2115 to Humphrey

[ERKUTHER]

Who's turn is it?

[Maniac]

Except Humphrey (who has also disappeared in other PBEMs) is everyone still alive? Perhaps The_Reckoning may be interested in taking over.

[Googlie]

Reporting for duty

[The_Reckoning]

Yep I'm interested in taking over. PM sent to mart7x5.
