https://www.gog.com/forum - in the bottom left you can search for game forums; find the alpha centauri one, and browse for help or ask your question there.
If that doesn't help (and it may not), you can contact Support.

You probably are using Windows 10 and have to enable DirectPlay.
From Support Article at GOG.com:
This is quite often caused by disabled DirectPlay. In order to enable it, please follow these instructions:
- Please go to the Desktop. Press WinKey+R to open Run window, in it type:
appwiz.cpl
Here go to Turn Windows features on or off link, find the Legacy components on the list, enable DirectPlay, and click OK to install it.
In some circumstances if you are unable to install DirectPlay, please temporary disable your security software, for the time of installation.
