When I launch the game from the desktop icon, it gives me the launch screen (black screen, red graphic of a galaxy, words "Firaxis Games"), and then the system always hangs. I never get beyond that screen.
This is after a fresh install of Alpha Centauri from the latest GOG file: "setup_sid_meiers_alpha_centauri_2.0.2.23.exe".
My system specs:
Intel Core i7 CPU 930 @ 2.80GHz (4 cores)
9gb DDR3 RAM
1gb AMD Radeon HD 5850
Windows 7 64-bit
AMD Catalyst Version 12.10
None of the following troubleshooting steps have helped:
-- explicitly running as Administrator
-- choosing any of the compatibility options in the shortcut properties
-- running at a lower resolution
-- adding any of the following to AlphaCentauri.ini:
"DirectDraw=0"
"ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1"
"DisableOpeningMovie=0"
Any ideas?
(I'd send this to support, but they want a DxDiag file, and for some reason "Save All Information..." in DxDiag.exe never completes, and therefore never produces the file.)
