Will it unlock every achievement, or just the one I want? Because I want to earn the others.

Is there any way at all to gain this achievement? The fact that I could end up with my achievement counter forever stuck at 286/287 just irks me. Accursed achievement OCD! Thanks in advance!

And that was exactly where they were (apart from the USERNAME bit)! Thanks a ton Fugitive Sisyphus! :D

I've got about a dozen superfluous save files that are clogging up my load screen, but I can't find the folder they are in to prune them. I looked in game and they should be just above the scenario folder, but when I open up the smac folder, it's not there. I tried doing a search for the .sav...

Good news! I got the game up and running! In the end, I used (...). Thanks for all your help and patence as I fumbled around my computer Petek. Link deleted. This forum's rules do not allow linking to the unofficial patch.

Hmm. All three are getting failure messages. Also, I tried setting compatability back to Windows 98, as I actualy have the boxed sets, and not a modern re-release. Still no go.

Now it's saying that Terren.icd isn't working, rather than terrenx.icd. Which is progress I guess.

Even with the patches terranx.icd isn't working. Alpha Centauri worked fine without crossfire added, so this is rather annoying. :( Now, I'm using Windows Vista with a AMD Turion x2 64 and nvidia graphics (at least that's what the logos on my laptop say). Does that help?

Okay, I managed to get the [PREFERENCES] ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1 into the ini file, but whenever I try and start up crossfire, I still get a message that terranx.icd has stopped working. The ici file now reads [PREFERENCES] ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1 [Alpha Centauri]  is this...

I think I might. I can't seem to find an open as adminsitrator option either by right clicking or in properties. I'm not great with the fiddly bits of computers, so I may need the big letter version of help, with clewable pages. :(

Hmm. Everytime I put that line in, the computer says that it can't be saved and that I should check that the path is correct. Am I lacking a program or something? I'm not sure I have a text editor.

Hey everyone. I've been trying to find this Alpha Centuri.ini file so I can try the ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1 trick, but I don't think I can find it, or at least the right one. When I open it up, all it says is [Alpha Centauri]  Am I looking at the wrong thing, or do I need a...

Well fiddlesticks. That's a bit of a bugger. At least I didn't waste exessive amounts of money on this, due to getting them second hand. Guess I'll have to stick to Black & White and Final Fantasy VI. Thanks for the time and help ori.

Here we go! I'll have to remember that dxdiag for the future. :)

Thanks for the welcome ori. :) I'll love to post my dxdiag results. Just as soon as someone tells me what a dxdiag is and how I find it. :blush: I'm not exactly computer savvy, hense my posting here. But explained without too many long words, I should understand it.
