as mentioned in the subject header, whenever I start the game the landing animation glitches out, moving like a slideshow while whatever split second of the faction quote was playing when I hit start repeats, then the landing sound effect plays but only after the escape pod has actually landed. Any idea of what could be causing this and how to fix it? I'm running the game in compatibility mode for windows xp service pack 2.
Ok well I thought I was posting this specifically in the Alpha Centauri forum but apparently not, if a moderator sees this feel free to delete.

Yeah, parts of DirectDraw and DirectPlay have been ripped out of modern Windows, so that's only going to get you so far.
