The term "Frame Buffer8" refers to an 8-bit palettized video mode.

When classic PC titles or specialized emulation frontends attempt to register or pull metadata from an 8-bit or 16-bit color-depth frame buffer using legacy function entry points—such as BinKGetFrame@BuffersInfo@8 or _BinkSetSoundtrack@8 —the system can crash. These crashes frequently occur when running software under modern operating systems like Windows 10 or Windows 11.

If you just want to play the game and don't care about watching the unskippable opening company logos, you can completely bypass the Bink video player.
