Hey guys so this is my first post, i found these forums while looking on how to fix the crashing in SMAC. Anyways, my family has been playing alpha centauri for years probably close to ten. We have it installed across 3 or 4 old pcs that still run on XP. We never really had problems with the game until really late in the game on transcend where we would get the terran.exe has stoppped working. So a couple of days ago i transferred SMAC onto a flashdrive so i could install it on my brothers laptop to play. the laptop runs windows 10 and at first the game worked for little while before it crashed. I started a new game and that one never crashed, but when i got bored of that game i tried to start a new game and it would crash every time i got my first tech breakthrough. from that point i coudlnt even start a game without it crashing. so i tried downloading the patches to fix and then it wouldnt even start. So after all that i decided to just delete everything so i could start fresh, however i found that i could play smac off of my flashdrive since i never deleted it from the flashdrive. do you guys have any idea why i can play off of my flashdrive but not the laptop?
