z-depth error?

Post by BigHappy »

i downloaded and started the Universal, but a strange error came up. it mentioned z-depth badness and said i should adjust from 32-bit to 16-bit. i did this but still got the error. could it be my drivers? if so how can i fix this. also i know very little about my computer so ill need detailed info.

if ya've got that far, directX 8 or something higher is definitely installed. Video card drivers may be an issue, and you should look for some that are specifically DirectX 8 comptable, particularly if you haven't updated em for a while.
Reducing screensize might help - or trying in windowed mode perhaps (you can do that by running the options.exe in the game clients folder).
My guess is the drivers will fix it but if nothing works, i suspect you may not have a PC good enough to play on unfortunately..
