3d accelerator error

[cpants]

Syberia 2 works fine, but when I try to play Syberia it gives me a 3d accelerator error. It looks like there is a way to fix this if using Windows 7 but I'm on 8.1. Any solutions for me?

Same issue on Win 8.1. I solved the problem changing the compatibility settings of the game executable "Games.exe" in this way:
- Check on Execute the application in compatibility mode for Windows 98/Me
- Check on Reduced color mode 256bit
- Check on run as administrator

Thanks it worked. Much obliged Faxmaister

The above solution does not seem to work for me. I've set either and both of the executables to the recommended compatibility-settings, without any change in my error message. The message is a normal windows message-box.

*******
Syberia - Initialization error
No available 3D accelerator
Either your 3D card does not have the required functions for the game or there has been an error and you should reboot your computer.

I run Win8 on an Intel i5-4670k with 8GB, using a GeForce GTX 560 Ti on driver 331.82, making the above somewhat cryptic. (What on earth would Syberia do with a 3D-accelerator anyway?)

Am I missing something? Are there better drivers? (Perhaps backlevel?) Is there some sort of compatibility-pack for Win8 that will allow disused function-calls? Have I angered Kibo by not shriving the Turnip of Obscure Wisdom in the proscribed manner?

Help?

[cpants]

reducing the color worked/ Thanks Faxmaister

This worked for me but only on 8 bit color.

[cpants]

That's exactly what I did from an earlier tip and it worked but thanks for advice again anywayz

The fix makes the game work. But the scale of the screen is all messed up. I can only see a fraction the whole screen, anyone?

[LazyJones]

If screen can be seen only partially, try setting screen resolution (from the game.exe properties)
