http://www.firaxis.com/games/downloads.php I think at the time it was to help get the game to work on XP/2000, so you might still need to use compatibility mode after that. There was also a fan patch made just last year that fixes a bunch of bugs and exploits. http://www.civgaming.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7511 | ||

I'm running Win7 x64 and Centauri runs just fine (from GoG)... GoG forums showing others are having the same error you are. Have you tried forcing a low resolution? | ||

*BEEP* Wrong answer. The behaviour of dragoons alone justifies a patch for Brood War. | ||

I've never played an Alpha centauri or Alien Crossfire game against a Human, so I'd love to try it with somebody who knows how to do it, or is atleast patient enough to find out a way to do it with me :D I would enjoy it, but I've never been able to get the game to work on multiplayer (be it gameranger, hamachi, or just using tcp/ip settings) | ||

Does anyone know the fix? When i click install it doesnt do anything. Something to do with a 16bit installer on a 64bit processor. | ||

Customizable units, changing faction bonuses and penalties (including the extreme benefits), the story, the terran, everything was so amazing. If only the AI was stronger I'd play this game and nothing else. It's eventually gotten tiring even to eat transcend AI's alive with just worms... This is so true. Although i actually still have it installed (and had even before this thread was revived  ) even though the AI is a little weak. Its still fun to play every once in a while and for a turn based game it has a very good athmosphere. | ||

^interesting. Evidently this is somewhat illegal, but Hamachi will let you play Alpha Centauri over TCP/IP even though they brought down all the servers years ago. Also, Jinro, it's 1 of 2 things: 1) Compatibility mode w/ Windows 95 and the lower colors, run as admin, etc. 2) It's an issue with multi-core processors, the fix mentioned earlier usually does it, but I seem to recall having to do something else to the .ini file to get it to work on my old laptop, I'm researching now, but that's at least somewhere to start looking. | ||

I'm up for games, but given my schedule they'd pretty much have to be PBE... can't set any reliable amount of time aside. Transcend with worms? My last game was an Ascent to Transcendence rush with University on Librarian... Nothing like pulling out an inch-thick manual and tech trees and finding your notes from middle school. | ||

The expansion is OK. It gives 2 unplayable but overpowered alien races, so it makes it a bit harder, as long as a bunch of new factions that are at best slightly more powerful than the normal factions, at worst stupid attempts at making something different (Pirates), and otherwise pretty decent. It's not worth $45 on Amazon or E-bay, so just torrent it. | ||
