Problem with Scorched3d

[ChojinDSL]

The game installs fine, but when I try to start a new game, it quits giving me always the same error message:
"Display : ERROR: Failed to set the display mode"

I have tried all sorts of settings in the graphic setup, but nothing works. I also tried running the game as root but it makes no difference.

Anybody know how to fix this, since this seems to be a very fun game.

Ok, I found the problem. On the Scorched3d forum it says in the faq that you need to run with 24bit for the game to work. Since my Voodoo3 only does 16bit, I suppose I'm just out of luck.
Seems weird though that in the settings menu there is a button for texture size that seems to have 3dfx in mind, but oh what the heck. Guess this will have to wait until I get another pc+new gfx card.

you can comment the line
if (SDL_GL_SetAttribute( SDL_GL_DEPTH_SIZE, 24 ) == -1) return;
in src/common/Display.cpp
and compile again
hope this helps
