Question:
What is “Bit Depth” and why can’t I or why should I change it?

Answer:
DF-BHD requires a high-resolution Z-buffer, which some video cards can only access when in 32-bit color mode. If your video card supports 16-bit color with high-resolution Z, then this option will be enabled; otherwise the game will only run in 32-bit color. Performance tests with DF:BHD have shown very little difference in performance between 16 and 32 bit for most current video cards, so the ability to set the bit depth to 16 is provided only for consumer convenience.
