I don't know about the Crossfire version, but for Regular SMAC and the 4.0 patch you don't need a CD Hack. Just do a complete install and you will never need the CD to play the game. In fact after the 4.0 patch is installed the pop-up box for the CD doesn't even appear. You go straight to the opening movie.

To play Crossfire with no CD, you need the hack from http://www.gamecopyworld.com .
1. At the first site, select whichever link works, then go past their disclaimer.

2. At the site, under PC games, their is a link to the PC games index. Click on it.

3. In the index, Alien Crossfire is listed separately from Alpha Centauri. Click on the link.

4. You should see a small list of patches. Click on the link to the version 2.0[English]FIXED patch. This takes you to another box on the same page.

5. At the top of the box, there is a disk icon. This is the link to the download site. Click on it.

6. At the download site, click on whichever link works.

That's it. Sorry for the list of instructions, but there is no direct link to anything inside the site.

Thank you very much.
My computer (in)consistantly hangs when I start AC, and I think it has to do with cd access in the beginning.
Maybe this'll fix it!

I use the No CD hack (strictly for convenience, since I play on two machines at home and one at work and I don't want to lug the disk around).

Be aware, however, that someone has recently made the claim that he experiences crashes due to the interceptor scramble bug MUCH more often with the hack than without it.
