FF7 Ati Radeon 9600SE PROBLEM

[Jackerola]

Hello,

i've got a ati radeon 9600SE, and i can only play FF7 in software mode. The reason is because the '8-bit palleted' Issue.

'Required 3D Features for Direct3d':
I pass at all things except '8-bit Paletted Textures'. I've tried the ff7 Windows XP patch but this only helps for Nvidia videocards.
I can only play software mode and it sucks for a classic game like this ...

I've searched on google, but i didn't found much about it.
Can someone help me please??

Ps. ( sorry for my bad english )

Search this forum next time, or check the FAQ section.  People have run into just about every problem with this game already.  A quick search here will most likely give you a solution to any FF related problem.  Never use the XP patch, it's evil  .  Use the official 1.02 patch.

Forum FAQ (with patch)

I wasn't sure which language you require, but they are all there.

Although the official patch is named 'Riva Patch', actually it's for all recent graphic cards that don't support 8-bit paletted textures.  So you can run FF7 with this and compatibility setting(for XP).   And I also suggest you to read FAQ.
