@Whoeverxxx:
You want the Windows XP patch (Top one) to fix the CPU type crash.
I think I'm now getting very confused, according to what I seem to be seeing, the basic Alpha Centauri & Alien Crossfire patches seem to have been unprotected, but the Planetary Pack remains protected?!
Edit: Oh, and the patch to V2.0 of the Planetary Pack seems to have gone missing
(I
know I had one earlier to fix a whole load of Windoze XP issues, not least not starting)
Have a try at installing the most recent updates for both SMAC & SMACX and seeing what this does!
From a bit of net prodding, this may well have come about as the US & UK versions used different protections, Securom R4 & Safedisc V2 respectively, and the current patches are multi-reigonal.
Very confused!!
