#Gameranger has encountered a problem Patch
It is worth noting at this point that there are a fair number of exploits and weird bugs in SMAC (until scient finishes his patch anyway).
Once everyone is ready, the host presses the launch game button and the game begins. Players press the green button next to their names to change their details and press the "mark ready" button to indicate they are happy with the game rules, factions, map etc. The global difficulty setting has no effect.) The host chooses the game settings and AI factions including handicaps (a lower difficulty level makes the game easier for that player, AI perform best at high difficulty levels.
Join the game by double clicking on the game name.
Other players: select join from the menu and either leave the box empty or input the hamachi IP of the host. Select "Internet TCP/IP Connection For DirectPlay" from the multiplayer menu. Join the same Hamachi network as those you want to play with. Try to ping someone else in the group, if you can, ask them to ping you back (right click, chat). Attempt to join a network via Hamachi, see the list below for some Alpha Centauri related networks. If it does not press Customise on the Hamachi entry and set to a private network. Then go to the Networking and Sharing Center and ensure Hamachi appears as a private network. On the networking tab disable (untick) TCP/IPv6 as in the image Hamachi.jpg Right click on the Hamachi network in Network Connection and select properties. Move Hamachi to the top of the connections list using the green arrow on the right. Press ALT then go to Advanced > Advanced Settings > Adapters and Bindings Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Centre > Manage Network Connections. Go to Control Panel > Network Connections > Advanced > Advanced Settings > Adapters and Bindings. #Gameranger has encountered a problem install
Disable windows vulnerabilities at install time if you don't want other people to be able to access files shared on your computer. Download and install Hamachi v1.0.3.0.
#Gameranger has encountered a problem update
Install, in this order, the SMAC v4.0 Update, the SMAC Win 2000/XP Update and the unofficial patch (obviously, you only need to use the terran.exe file if you do not have SMAX). Install, in this order, the Alien Crossfire v2.0 update, the SMAC Win 2000/XP Update and the unofficial patch. Install, in this order, the SMAC Win 2000/XP Update and the unofficial patch. This version of the game comes with a form of SecuROM DRM, If you get any weird errors, please post here. #Gameranger has encountered a problem software
If you own the new sold out software pack, install the games separately and follow the instructions for owning SMAX.If you have the Planetary Pack or Laptop Collection, install both parts of that and skip to step 5.If that doesn't work check troubleshooting for an alternate solution. If the CDs won't autorun then just open setup.exe on the disc. If you can't do part of these instructions, scroll down to the troubleshooting section at the bottom of this post. However, getting SMAC up and running for tcp/ip games from scratch is not an intuitive process, so I've written a guide. I've had problems setting this up myself, with the benefit of hindsight, this was partly due to some problems individual to my PC. If that doesn't work, try a VPN service like Evolve.
