Final Fantasy VIII

[Aeris]

well here i am again with another problem x.x

~i recently reinstalled by PC Edition from my installation CD and everything went fine, i did the configuration and everything, set it up the way FF7 works properly. i got to launch it, and as Eidos is coming up, it freezes. i cant alt tab or Alt + F4 it. i have to turn my computer off and then back on to get back to my desktop (after relogging in) any ideas on what the issue may be?

any and all info would be greatly appreciated >.<

System Specs: Windows XP Home Edition, 2002, SP3
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
2.99 GHz, 512 MB of RAM.

~Thanks in advance, all comments are appreciated

Which graphics renderer are you using and what are your other settings like?
I use the D3D renderer, everything Passes except 8-bit-palleted textures but the game runs fine.

I have no idea why the game crashes for you, so it may be some other issue altogether

Direct 3D Hardware Acceleration, since thats what FF7 uses, my only other option is the Software Renderer.


EDIT:

FF7 uses the Software Renderer, so i set it to that, now Eidos gets displayed then freezes ._. at least it got "partially" fixed. >.<

You should be using D3D, but I wonder why it doesnt work for you?
Your system specs are decent enough, so maybe something is wrong with the software side of things.

Which graphics-card do you have (ATi or nvidia)?
And are you using the latest DirectX runtimes?

i have a Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller and i have DirectX 9.0C or B,


EDIT:

Lock The Thread i have a fix!
