[Bug 22434] Hype - The Time Quest crashes when the game should come up (looks like null pointer dereference to me)

I suspect that your card doesn't support D24S8 depth buffers. I recently
accidentally broke the ability to fall back to a different format. It wasn't
the patch Wylda found, but rather a fairly recent one.

You can confirm this by editing dlls/wined3d/swapchain.c.  Somewhere around
line 815 there's a line like this:
swapchain->ds_format = getFormatDescEntry(WINED3DFMT_D24_UNORM_S8_UINT,
gl_info);

You can try to replace WINED3DFMT_D24_UNORM_S8_UINT with WINED3DFMT_D16_UNORM
and see if this fixes the problem.
