Error: A8R8G8B8

[Zios]

Hello there!
Everytime I want to start c-rpg with WSE I'm getting the message: "ERROR: A8R8G8B8 support is required".
I don't know what this error is about, so I hope someone can help me here.

Extra-Info: My old pc had the same problems and now I'm having a new one and the problems are still there. The only thing I put in my new pc is the hdd of the old one.

Greetings!

I dunno, a google search makes me think it may have something to do with your GPU drivers.

[Zios]

So any idea how to solve it?

[Switchtense]

Yea cannot see what exactly causes the problem from the log.

Try to update your graphics drivers in case it has anything to do with it

[Zios]

Drivers are up to date. Still the same problem.

[cmp]

That's weird, according to this line:

[14:44:01] Adapter: P8 1360x768 60Hz

your desktop is in 8 bit indexed color mode. I'm assuming that's not the case (or at least it doesn't look like the case from the screenshot you posted)?

[Zios]

I just had a look:

Im on mode: 1360 x 768, True Color (32-Bit), 60 Hertz
and color depth is on: True Color (32-Bit)

[cmp]

If you right click on crpg_beta.exe (in your Warband directory), select the Compatibility tab, is Run in 256 colors checked? If yes, uncheck it. If no, I have no idea why the game thinks that 256 color mode is being used..

[Zios]

Nope, it isn't checked. Curious..

[cmp]

Does it work if you replace the files in your Warband directory with this?

[Zios]

Yeees Thank you!

[Switchtense]

Must be donkey porn..
