Old test results
The test results for this version are very old, and as such they may not represent the current state of Wine. Please consider submitting a new test report.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)

What works
Install, running the game, starting a random game, playing the game for 40 turns without issues


What does not
Sound, the intro


What was not tested
multiplayer, longer games


Additional Comments

The intro should be skipped with [Esc] as soon as possible, otherwise the game will crash.
Could not hear any sounds, but the game is extremely text-based, so there is no real constrain for the game itself.

Desktop resolution

If you want to have your desktop resolution and not the game's 1024x768 you can add the line below in the Alpha Centauri.Ini file.

[Alpha Centauri]
DirectDraw=0

Works for me without crashes on Fedora 14, wine 1.3.9.

Random crash

Game work (wine must be like XP, not win98) but still randomly crashes.
