[FF7PC-98] Higher Resolution (v1.00)(Discontinued, use Aali's driver)

[Marc]

woah.  how the hell did you manage that ?

edit : tested it on my radeon.  works great just like your patch.  Great job on both accounts I must say.

[Changeling]

I can only set AA to 2X on my game without it running really slow.  Which is strange because I have a really nice computer.

1 gigabyte of ram
3.2 GHz P4 HT
Radeon X300
300GB Hard-Drive

I tried removing all my other patches and just used the standard 1.02 patch with it.  It didn't help

Also Saint, is there any way you could do the anti-aliasing for FF8?  Not the high resolution if you don't want to.  I have an ATI card and I get that messy grid when I enable it which I'm sure you know.

Oh, by the way, thank you so much for this!

[Salk]

The Saint,

I have tried your patch on a Geforce 6800 with AA 8X and Anisotropic 16X...It works flawlessly...Thanks and keep it up,man!  :love:

[ice_cold513]

Wow ty i going to test it right now!!!

I hardly have free time to look at this patch even, so that is not going to happen.

My monitor can't support this for some odd reason..
When I start FF7 with this patch my monitor stops the video and changes to an error message "Out of Range".
Yet it can run at that high of resolution and refresh rate otherwise..

Found another "Upper left hand corner" glitch. The Motorcycle game fades to black at the end, before the boss fight, but it only fades that corner.

no need for a special patch here.install radlinker->rightclick on ff8.exe->create radlink->rightclick on radlink->select properies->choose directx tab->unselect use defaults->select your favorite FSAA mode->make sure alternate pixel center is enabled->click ok->launch the radlink=game runs with FSAA and no gridlines without wasting The SaiNt's time.this fix will work for just about any game that displays those weird gridlines after enabling FSAA (ff8,resident evil1/2/3,maybe more)..sorry nvidia guys,no fix for ya.I dont deal in geforce cr@p

[EmperorSteele]

.. if geforce is crap, then how come ATIs have just as many problems as nvidias? ;_;

Meanie.

Back on topic, Saint, do i have to revert to the backup ciopy (or original) ff7 before applying a new version of the patch?

[The SaiNt]

Yes, you will have to apply the patch onto the unpatched executable.

[Soldier]

I've played with the best nvidia card and played with the best Ati cad, I personally liked Nvidia alot more. It's more by choice, some people like them for different reasons, I personally think Nvidia has better graphics and you can edit more Nvidia cards pushing its limits then you can on most ati cards.

[voodoo47]

..not another ati vs nvidia discusion please  (btw,do you have 6x FSAA working without gridlines on your geforce? no? I thought so )

[EmperorSteele]

I do now =P

Speaing of, Saint, any plans to fix FSAA without the high res patch?  It seems as though if you can do it here, then why not for the normal version of ff7?

Just a thought.

[The SaiNt]

We'll see, it's enough hassle having to maintain just one patch.
I'd prefer to stick everything into a single patch.

Meanwhile everyone will have to use this patch. =)

[Canim]

the patch dont going with the german version but dont going it with it when i patch it with the just patch ?? the english files over the german files???

[Alhexx]

Canim: Das kannst du vergessen, der patch funktioniert nicht mit der deutschen version. Ich hab's auch probiert, aber die exe datei ist nicht kompatibel zur deutschen...

For english members:
Forget it, it won't work

[zero88]

All of this is incredible. I wouldn't have even expected this much from an official game company, like Square-Enix. Wow. Keep up the good work!!

--Yeah, I'm new here, but I'll probably post in and out. I hope to get to know you guys.  

[StarkRaven]

Great, love being able to use fsaa on my ati! Let me give me 2 cents though and say that a better background stretching system is now on the top of my wish list.

[Canim]

@ alhex ja müsst doch vielleicht gehen wenn man die datein aus dem patcher rausholt?? und dann patcht?


must be go when you extrakt the patch and then patch the game???

[eraclea]

@Canim: No, it won't work, simply because both english and german Version of FFVII got different Files, i.e. different file names with different languagues used in them at some points... This is what I think that could cause the patch not to work at least

Nein, es wird nicht funktionieren, einfach deshalb weil Englische und Deutsche Version komplett unterschieldiche Dateien mit unterschiedlichen Namen und teils unterschiedlichen Inhalten vorweisen. Gib es auf, solage niemand eine Deutsche Version dieses Patches 'from the scratch' schreibt, wird es nicht gehn!

[Canim]

ok thank you  

[Alhexx]

This is mutating to a semi-german topic, heh

SaiNt told me it could be possible when you rename the files and use the patched english EXE...

SaiNt meint, es könnte gehen wenn man die entsprechenden dateien umbenennt und die englische EXE benutzt. Ich werde mich mal dadrum kümmern, wenn ich ein bisschen mehr zeit habe, in einer woche oder so.

[Canim]

ok i will wait for it

[Kinseek]

Just tested your patch on my 1920*1200 LCD Widescreen monitor and it worked flawlessly! With 8x AA and 16AF it`s simply gorgeous! Thanks for the awesome work!

Though I did notice a slight "line" going on the lower right side on the hand of the movement cursor in battle. It`s faint enough to ignore, but I do notice it is there from time to time. I also get a black bar in the bottom of my screen on some occasions, most notably the field screen. (seem to recall it was a problem you were aware of but time-consuming to fix?).

[The SaiNt]

Not sure which black bar you're talking about, but I can release a fix for that movement cursor quite quickly.
I'll try to get it done when I get back today.

I wish I had a WUXGA screen =P
I suppose the game gets you black borders on the left and right sides of the screen?
