Well, it might help if you told us what kind of CPU you have ...

The game does not recognize many CPU such as P4s and many non pentiums as compatible, when in fact they are.
Per the readme file, for cpu not supported, change a AlphaCentauri.ini file line
from:
ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=0
to
ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1
As you noted below it commonly still does not recognize the CPU but the INI line tells it to run anyway.

Exit SMAC/X if it's running. Open Alpha Centauri.Ini (it's in the SMAC/X main folder). Type the following two lines at the end.
[PREFERENCES]
ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1
If [PREFERENCES] is already there, just type the other line under it.
Save the changed file. Restart SMAC/X.

preferences
There are two lines
Preferences
More Preferences
Should I type the line in between the above lines?
Also If I load the patch AND install Allien Crossfire will they both work or should add the same line in crossfire?
