Firaxis logo, and then boom. Nothing. Hello again, desktop.

Is there a way to fix this besides disabling the game's videos? I like the videos.

You can try fiddling with the Alpha Centauri.ini file.

Looked around on the internet, as I did not get any firaxis logo, just a small window left in the screen which displayed nothing and back to windows 10 it was. So add DirectDraw=0 in the ini above ds3d=1 and change DisableOpeningMovie=0 to DisableOpeningMovie=1

At least it starts up now (but without the intro video). Not tested any gameplay yet.

I'd been having gameplay crashes within a few turns, mostly on click actions. Changed my device resolution to 1280 and that seems to have done the trick
