Please bring back 16bit!
Hello!
In Vendetta 3.3.x I could turn my screen settings to 1440*900 16 bit. Then everything went fine and smooth on my iMac G4/800 with GeForce4MX32MB and high texture resolutuion.
Since v 3.4.x there seems to be bug that prevents from switching to 16 bit. Even if I set to 16 bit it looks like 32bit and runs not any faster (maybe evern slower).
Now I have to turn texture resolution to medium to get a smooth gameplay. But I really would prefer to use high texture quality but only with 16 bit display and textures, so it uses a lot less Video RAM, so switching to high texture res is no problem!
But sadly that won't work! I think that setting would be fine for all people with just a 32MB graphics card! is it possible to bring that back in the next release or is there any work-around to really use 16 bit textures and resolution as in v 3.3.x?
It looked nicer and was more fun to play! I already set doshaders=0. That made it better, but still not gettingt the 16bit performace :-(
Thanks for any tips, work-arounds, infos on that topic, etc.!
Nice greetings,

PS: Continue the great work! Finally a good MMORPG in Space for the Mac!!

Huh, interesting. I didn't think I touched anything that would have broke it or fixed it. Oh well.
Glad to hear it works again. Did you happen to install some other software or osX update or video card or video drivers?

Nothing I know of. I could switch to 16 bit, but then the game actually ran slower as in 32 bit. Now it's faster in 16 bit again!
