FF7 Black Screen Then Desktop Error
« on: 2013-01-01 07:21:18 »
Hey guys, I'm needing some help
A few days ago, I sold my GeForce 9800GTX+ (on which FF7 run perfectly)
Now I'm using my mobo's integrated graphics, but I can't play the game
When I double-click the .exe, I got a black screen and then it sends me to the desktop :|

Any idea on how to fix this?

PD: If it helps, my pc specs are

AMD Athlon 64 x2 7750 2.7GHz
ASRock N68-S UCC
3GB RAM (256MB shared with the integrated graphics)

Thanks in advance!

Integrated graphics cards (Intel) have difficulty running FF7 with certain mods installed.
You may also need to run FF7Config.exe as administrator and configure the display driver.
Make sure you update the drivers for the integrated GPU as well.

Pitbrat why not make another preset 'Intel' which selects all mods usable on those cards and ones that are not to be disabled...just a thought

I'm not exactly sure of the mods that will work on Intel cards.
There are a variety of integrated Intel cards with even more variations in the configuration.
Such things as the amount of ram assigned to the GPU are completely dependent on the manufacturer.

I suggest unchecking EVERYTHING under ADDITIONAL TEXTURES.
Also, select NO FIELD ART MODS under FIELD TEXTURES.
You may also need to disable MENU OVERHAUL.
The models should work fine.

If you find a combination of mods that works, please let me know.
I will definitely add a preset for Intel compatibility because so many people are having this issue.

I'm not using Intel integrated graphics on my desktop computer, I'm using Nvidia integrated graphics, which I've updated to the last version yesterday :S
One thing that makes no sense to me is that FF7 works fine with all mods on my laptop with Intel graphics :|

Edit: I found the problem. I didn't had selected the audio device properly. It was blank insted of my sound card (also, does anyone knows why the game can't run without the sound adapter selected?).
