Can't run Creatures 3

When I try to run Creatures 3, it displays a high color 16 bit error.

Grendels aren't so bad, but I love Ettins! They're adorable! The complexity of creatures is quite amazing.

You have to change your color settings from 32 bit(True Color) to 16 bit(High Color). I don't know what operating system you have, so I can't tell you exactly how to change it, but online tutorials should help you figure things out.

You can't do that with Windows 8.1 though [ncrying]

Right-click the engine.exe and go to Properties, then Compatibility, there's a checkmark for "Reduced color mode"
