Hi all,
I'm recently playing with the original Half-Life, its extensions and mods on my retro-hardware and an old annoyance resurfaced:
Half-Life will complain that I have to set my desktop color depth to 16-bit, even when 24/32-bit color is set. This is even if I set the in-game renderer to 32-bit color or specify the -32bpp startup switch as instructed here.
I started looking online and found an obscure reference to a registry hack that would enable this, but sadly not the hack itself.
Does anyone remember solving this problem on Windows 95/98?
