Suitable z-depth format???

[Huss]

ok, new error to me, after the client connects, when i hit the Enter island button i get this-

Couldnt find a suitable z-depth format. You may need to change your desktop display format (from 32bit to 16bit for instance) for this game to work.

then some buttons

Abort button-Crash Client
Ignore Button-Crash Client
Retry button- Direct 3d create device failed. Trying with software renderer, Performance may suffer

more buttons...

Abort button- Crash
Retry button-Crash

Tried that, still same, updated vid drivers and got directx 9b and it still crashes

In the video options i used advanced directx init instead of basic and i get this

D3D8 Application
No hardware-accelerated direct 3d devices were found
Switching to the reference rasterizer,

Then i get this
A-tractor DirectX Error. Your video options may need adjusting
A-tractor is about to die

It's almost always best to run with basic dx options on. Make sure your drivers are running default/compatibility settings. As far as I know 16-bit z is all that's supported. Try reinstalling the client. Um.. anyone?
