Plaything2 probs

Post by tarmac »

Ello!

I got one problem. Plaything2 won't run on

my computer. It says something about

16-bits screen resolution and 8bpp?

I tested all kinds of resolution on my monitor, 256 colors - 32-bit but it won't work.

I would appreciate if somebody know how to

solve the preoblem.

change your resoulution to 16bit color, its easyer to just leave it like that since the human eye cant really distinguish between 16 bit , 24 bit, etc...you wont hardly notice it.

Yeah I know but I've already tried that and

it doesn't work. I get an error msg saying:

Failure: Error! Screen format must be either

8bpp indexed or 16bpp [565] hi-colour. mscree-> type=4

Can it have something with my graphics card to do or maybe the monitor?

I appreciate your help mate! ;-)

If yer using the version of directx that came with C2, go to \program files\directx and you'll see an icon called "DXTOOL".

hit that and you'll see two check boxes at the bottom of the dialog box. un-check them and close that and PT@ should work just fine. (Just remember to re-check them if you want to play the game...)
