Sol_HSA: Here's something that may be related: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=377796

Maybe there's some problems with the video playback or something? It would be nice if the friendly folk at GOG would tell us..
The reason we have that notification is because we couldn't safely guarantee that Alpha Centauri would work properly on drivers newer than 13.4. This goes with any game you see on our service that has that notification on the game card.

If you do know something we don't then, by all means, please do write to us :) We're always happy to receive constructive feedback :)

Sol_HSA: Since you don't do this for all driver versions of all graphics cards, there must be some issue - what kind of problems are you seeing? Or are just random people reporting "it doesn't work"?
I don't have all the info myself as I don't deal with the technical issues myself but it's probably the usual culprits i.e. weird graphic glitches (think rainbow colors) or framerate drops.

I am not sure if you'll get an answer regarding this but you can always try asking our Support department and see what they say :)

Sol_HSA: So, apparently it's a case of "rainbow colors". Apparently amd changed something in their drivers that broke 8 bit palette mode somehow.

If I remember correctly, SMAC is a weird GDI/ddraw hybrid thingy, so my ddhack approach won't work (at least directly).. I haven't tested it myself (yet), I guess I could dig up my SMAC cd's and install it on my wife's PC to see what the problem looks like first-hand..
Sounds like fun, if you're technically minded :)
