Custom graphics driver for FF7/FF8 [v.1-.7.6]

[dco_chris]

Slight issue that I'm seeing with this in FF7. At the point before you fall into the church after the battle at the second reactor, the text against the black background is not appearing. It looks as if it has frozen to a black screen, but if you keep pushing the buttons it will get to the point where Cloud wakes up so it looks like the text is simply invisible for some reason. If it matters, this is running on Windows 7 on an Nvidia GTX 280 with Forceware version 195.55.

anymore features? aside of the font problems (avalanche) and the random crashes, i think the driver is pretty much perfect!!! hehehe
ff7 music problems? try the fix lessdebug, change settings or run it in realtime priority!

windows 7, gtx 280? nice! hehe sorry cant help u, im still in xp with geforce 7300 and a single core processor... anyway, im saving money for new pc!!!
have you tried use it in xp mode? ´couse i don't have that problem...

[drfeelgud88]

nope, just a driver.
Team Avalanche is what you're looking for there.
And APZ's cloud
Few others like the PRP or Chibi restoration But i think what you are looking for is APZ's cloud and the Team Avalanche patch.

And don't forget Timu's and Millenia's Barret!

Yup, same deal. Maybe it's a problem with Nvidia's opengl driver.

Only the new beta that includes an installer

Hey guys, I'm new but I'm loving this site. With the avalanche patch and this graphics driver, wow, I never though FF7 could look so nice. Anyway. I seem to be having the same problem as most people with the random crashing. I know an update is being worked on, but are there any work arounds that will keep the game from crashing? I tried running it in windowed mode, no luck. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

how to turn off anti-aliasing? coz it makes my game slower.. i have low-end video card.. 

[Hellbringer616]

Anti Aliasing is enabled through your control panel (nvidia) or Catalyst Control Center (ATI) not the graphics driver, right click on the desktop and select which one is right for your card and disable it. though unless you enabled it it should not be enabled at all.

state your card here please. it may not support OGL2.0

my laptop uses nvidia geforce 6600..

this is a question of Aali... do you know anything about how the game handles animated textures such as the waterfalls or ocean? I'm asking because animated start screens(or any texture for that mater) could be a reality if we could figure out how the game decides what textures are animated and which files it calls.

From what i can deduce it is coded into the game itself. Just like for some of the textures for summons and such, some use multiple textures to create animations, others use different tiles within the same texture.

Yea, I have quite a few actually, however I found the link to the previous version of the driver and it works flawlessly now. Thanks!

[Hellbringer616]

getting a not found error

[pyrozen]

looks like it not uploaded yet.  I peeked around in the directory and the file isn't there.

Great job on finishing another release Aali, can't wait to try it out.  The random crash fixes are just what we needed!

[Aali]

Hmm, I usually upload it before posting. For some reason I didn't this time.

Hello, I'm back after falling off the face of the Earth for a while.
Just wanted to point out that, as far as I can tell, this is now the longest thread on these forums.

[Lilmookman]

Thanks Aali, v7.3b just fixed a random crash I was having on XP SP3. The game just kept crashing and popping up a screen saying "Opps Something Very bad Happened" while entering combat or switching screens but all is well now. Other than that, that was my only problem with this game.

So Again...Thanks

[Soul]

Can someone please tell me how to turn off anti-aliasing in custom driver for ff7?? 

[Tekkie.X]

You'd have to turn it off in your graphics card control panel.

[titeguy3]

Screenshots wouldn't really demonstrate this very well, but I've just tried out v7.3b and at the first bombing mission, the restore materia on the ground flickers between being opaque and invisible.


This was being caused by PRP, not the driver. False alarm.

[Grimmy]

There are many known problems in prp and the answers can be found on this forum, but most users only want to play the upgraded version of ffvii not learn to mod for themselves (or read through threads before they post).

Ok, another crash here. This time when Yuffie uses her flame attack against you when you fight her in a forest. Log, dump, and save here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z8G7N9U5
