Issues fixed

The "Create Surface for Z-Buffer Failed" Crash

Apply teleguy AMD Driver fix to Game^{[citation needed]}

This fix is for ATI / AMD graphics cards only.

Go to this forum post on vogons.org (http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=34931&start=940), and download the attachment at the bottom of the post. If you can't find it, here's the direct link from the post (http://www.vogons.org/download/file.php?id=18776)
Extract the file from it using your favorite archiving tool, or right click it and select Extract All, then follow the on-screen instructions.
Take the new atiumdag.dll file, and move it to <path-to-game>.
Start Game

The "Please report exception code (c0000005) ADDRESS: (777af82b)" Crash

Buy or Download a new .EXE^{[citation needed]}

This problem has little documentation due to it's rarity, so solutions are difficult to find.

This solution could be from a corrupted install, or from a disagreement between the 32-bit game and a 64-bit operating system. Before assuming it's the second problem, please uninstall and re-install the game.

If the re-installation does not solve the problem, then you will have to find a different version of the game from a different store using the sources above in the Availability section. The GOG.com version is known to be the most stable under these circumstances.

Missing In-Game Texture Fixes and Corrupt UI Elements / Increase Graphical Fidelity

Paste all aformentioned files to <path-to-game>
Run the dgVooDooSetup.exe as an administrator
