Can't run game

Post by mastif »

Hi,
each time I try to run the game I get an error message saying: Couldnt find a suitable z-depth format.
After that I get a message saying: Invalid call for direct3d create device. And then the game crash.
Does the game require a direct3d accelerated video card? My video card is not direct3d accelerated.

I believe this game requires a video card that can support at least DirectX 5, which is to say that a video card newer than 7 years old should work.

Check your card in the display properties on control panel. It's got to be directX8 compatible and have at least 4MB of video memory.
Otherwise, try configuring the in game video options.

Ok, then it must be the memory that is the problem. I've only got 2 MB. :(
