I'm have recently installed the Planetary Pack onto my laptop (which runs a fully updated version of Windows XP Home), and whenever I run the game I get this error message:
"terranx.icd has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I installed the SMAC v4 patch, the XP compatibility patch, and then the SMACX v2 patch but the game will still not run.
I have also tried the following in various combinations:
Setting the ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1 in the Alpha Centauri.ini file.
Disabling the sound by renaming the sound and soundx.dll files.
Disabling the opening movie with DisableOpeningMovie=1.
Running the game with each of the 4 backwards compatibility modes active. I also tried the 3 display settings options under the compatibility tab, and the advanced text services for this program have been turned off.
Updating my video card driver as well as turning off the hardware acceleration .
I am using a Gateway MX6030 laptop with a 1.40 GHz Intel Celeron M processor with 512 MB of ram. It has a widescreen monitor, so that could be a potential source of problems.
Attached is a copy of the information in the file the error report it wants to send Microsoft would include. Thanks for any help that anyone could give me. It is a fun game, and I've gotten it to work from the same discs on my desktop, but it would be nice to be able to play it on the go.
