Can't Find A Suitable PixelFormat

Post by MouseLord »

Hey guys, I'm attempting to get this thing running on my linux box under wine. The problem is I get the error "Can't Find A Suitable PixelFormat" After a little googling, it looks like a problem with setting the color depth above 24bpp. Is there a way to change the video mode spring goes into other than just the resolution? The configuration program seems to work fine.. It remembers the settings I give it, but I haven't found the file it makes.

Thanks
SJ

You cant set anything but 24bit color in spring. You can try to mix around with the code in CreateGLWindow if you want to change it.

So it is a matter of recompiling the code then?
Thanks for the quick response, btw.
