Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Help! According to FAQ the "cpu not supported" fix is to change a line in the alpha.ini file. However, if the game never starts, because of cpu n.s ., how do you enter that line in a file that doesn't exist? I believe the alpha.ini file is created only when a game starts. In other words, how can I play smacx on a computer with a P4 and Windows XP. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Use the Search-option here at Apolyton, using keywords cpu not supported, and look from this forum.

Or you can look the answer manually from this forum. I think it was less than week ago, when the same question was asked.

Remove this text

aaglo is right, all you have to do is to search in this forum and find the text that must be in the .ini file, then u can copy/paste it

Hmmm - (dumb question i am about to ask):

when you get the message "CPU not supported" do you also get the options "OK" and "CANCEL"?

I get the "not supported" message every time I open smac or smax, but just click "OK"

I also have the no-cd cracks installed (overwrites the two .exe files - get them at:

http://googlie2.tripod.com/rynnsgallery/id8.html

and just replace the game .exe's)

So then I get the message "the CD was not detected, etc", with the option "RETRY" and "OK"

I click "OK" and it loads.

If it's just the annoying message that you want to eliminate, then it's the jackal file that needs amending

Put an end to popups!

Adding the line "ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1" worked. I can now play smac or smacx. I still get the message about "cpu not supported," but it is irrelevant. Thanks again.
