This game is a dream come true, but i get the same error whenever i try to run standoff or unknown enemy. Secret Ops works fine and i changed the compatability to win98 (i have xp)..but i always get the same error. the screen goes balck and the it give me a fatal error and says "GL_3d3_5::createZBuffer attach failed 87". How do i get this to run?!!?
 
Error 87 means "Invalid Params", meaning that the 32-bit Z-Buffer isn't being created successfuly. This problem seems to be related to hardware - meaning, that some cards (in particular, Radeon cards, but some others as well) simply have trouble with Standoff.

First thing you should try (if you haven't already) is to run the game in 16-bit mode. If it works, and you're happy with that, then the problem's solved. Otherwise, you may try this DLL file that HCl made in an attempt to solve this problem - overwrite the old gl_0000x.dll in your Secret Ops folder. This may fix 32-bit mode for you, but not necessarily - results seem to vary from person to person.

Unfortunately, if none of this solves the problem, we have no other solutions to propose. It may be that downloading the latest drivers for your graphics card or the latest version of DirectX will solve this problem, but this is highly unlikely.

BTW, Eder, you may want to add this to the FAQ, since I didn't see it there.
 
Thank you, it works

Stand-off is now up and running. I had to replace the file with the one you gave me as you instructed, and i can now run it. It does work in 32-bit as well. I have never been impressed more with anything than this game. I will eagerly anticipate the release of part 2, and in the meantime I'll finish this one and blast my way though Unknown Enemy as well. Thanks for you quick reply, I was worried I would have to wait a couple weeks to be answered. I salute you...

Click to expand...

Wow, that's quite a compliment. You'll probably be super impressed with the next episode then.
 
Yeah, thanks for the compliment - hopefully you'll be equally impressed with episode 2. We do still have a few... unusual... tricks up our sleeve ;).
 
Fleet Action

...I didn't realize until yesterday that the game's storyline was based on Forstchen's Fleet Action...That was one of my favorite books growing up. I can't wait to see what the super-carriers look like, though i suppose I won't be for quite a while...I'll look forward to episode 2 for now, but one day I hope to shoot down Baron Jakuga. That bastard.
 
U.E. still not working

Oh, and Unknown enemy still has the same problem, can I replace the same file with the one you posted for standoff or do I need a new one?
 
Yes, that file will also fix the problem for UE (of course, if you installed UE correctly, it's in the same folder as Standoff... so the problem should already be fixed).

You do get a glimpse of the supercarriers in episode 2, though you don't get to meet any in person.
