Hmm, weird. I swear I was gonna post em up before i pressed the send button.. Must've forgotten haha! Sorry! Here they are!

Code: [Select]

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = no

# display some real-time debug information

To Aali's latest driver? Tried that, rolled back to these to test it out. Think I might just give up and run it in bootcamp...

« Reply #107 on: 2011-08-19 03:31:52 »
Oops sorry about that. I updated but I still get the tearing. Here are my updated configs:

Code: [Select]
# ff7_opengl-0.7.10b config file



## USER OPTIONS ##
## If you just want to play the game, these are the only options you'll want to change.

# set the window size (or fullscreen resolution) of FF7
# 0 means use original resolution (whatever ff7.exe provides)
# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratio
window_size_x = 1280
window_size_y = 800
preserve_aspect = yes
fullscreen = yes

# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
# does not affect the old external textures feature, those should still go in textures/
mod_path = none

# check your driver settings if this option doesn't seem to work
enable_vsync = yes

# limit snowboard, coaster and highway minigames to refresh rate / 2, i.e. 30fps for a 60hz display mode
# vsync must be enabled and working for this to have any effect
minigame_framelimiter = on

# same thing, but for the battle swirl
battleswirl_framelimiter = off

# allow FF7 to use linear filtering for its textures
# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail
linear_filter = off

# plugin used to play music, the FF7Music plugin MUST be enabled for FF7Music to work.
# If no music plugin is loaded the game will play MIDI as usual but FF7Music will NOT work.
#music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp



## ENHANCEMENTS ##
## All the little extras that weren't part of the original game, default options include only trivial bug fixes.

# make all dialog boxes transparent, same effect as the transparent dialog boxes YAMP patch
transparent_dialogs = off

# allow max hp/mp to go over 9999, same effect as the YAMP patch by dziugo
break_9999limit = no

# include armor in magic defense calculation
mdef_fix = yes

# expand battle viewport to cover entire screen and make the battle menu transparent
new_battle_interface = off

# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
post_source = shaders/bloom2.post
enable_postprocessing = no



## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.

# use shaders, if available and supported
# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backend
use_shaders = no

# prevent glitches due to rounding errors by rendering in the nearest (larger, if supported)
# multiple of the original resolution and up/down-scaling
prevent_rounding_errors = yes

# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect
fancy_transparency = on

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = no

# display some real-time debug information
show_stats = no

# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = yes

# use pixel buffer objects to speed up texture loading
# will probably crash horribly on ATI cards but should work for NVIDIA users
use_pbo = no

# replace FF7's default framelimiter timer source
use_new_timer = yes

# use a more stable (but less accurate) timer to control FF7's framelimiter
# this option has no effect unless the use_new_timer option is on
use_stable_timer = no

# plugin used to play movies, FFMpeg is the only choice for now
movie_plugin = plugins/ffmpeg_movies.fgp



## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.

# read files directly instead of using LGP archives
# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd first,
# if this file doesn't exist it will look for the original in the LGP archive
direct_mode = off

# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = no

Xenphor,
Are you playing videos from the CD-Rom drive?
Copy the videos to the .\movies\ folder.
Configure the movies path in the registry.
Code: [Select]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII]
"AppPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Square Soft, Inc.\\Final Fantasy VII\\"
"DataPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Square Soft, Inc.\\Final Fantasy VII\\Data\\"
"MoviePath"="C:\\Program Files\\Square Soft, Inc\\Final Fantasy VII\\movies\\"
"FullInstall"=dword:00000001

Maybe it's a buffering issue?

Turning off fancy transparency had no effect.

I have images of the cds on my hard drive that I run by mounting them so I don't think it's a buffering issue. Plus, the tearing doesn't happen just in the movies but mainly during the game on the pre-rendered backgrounds. It's very obvious when the backgrounds scroll because the tearing will be somewhat continuous.

PitBrat, if you were looking at his APP log, you'd see he plays them from his hard drive...

Delete your cache.

In the cache folder I'm assuming? There are no files in there to delete.

window_size_x = 1280
window_size_y = 960


Turn off vsync.  The driver might work at a different refresh rate than your screen.
enable_vsync = no

Does it still tear in windowed mode?
fullscreen = no

Unfortunately I can't go to 1280x960 because my monitor's max resolution is 1280x800. I tried running in Window mode and turning off Vsync but still get the tearing.

Hello, assistance is required. FF7 has suddenly stopped working in fullscreen mode, in such a manner that it gives me an error message and a window mode with default resolution instead.

APP.log here:

And no, the flevel.lgp is NOT broken. It works like a charm, even though it gives me false error messages. (and I used Highwind, not LGP Tools since only Highwind compresses the files)

And configuration:
Code: [Select]
# ff7_opengl-0.7.10b config file



## USER OPTIONS ##
## If you just want to play the game, these are the only options you'll want to change.

# set the window size (or fullscreen resolution) of FF7
# 0 means use original resolution (whatever ff7.exe provides)
# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratio
window_size_x = 1280
window_size_y = 800
preserve_aspect = no
fullscreen = yes

# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
# does not affect the old external textures feature, those should still go in textures/
mod_path = none

# check your driver settings if this option doesn't seem to work
enable_vsync = no

# limit snowboard, coaster and highway minigames to refresh rate / 2, i.e. 30fps for a 60hz display mode
# vsync must be enabled and working for this to have any effect
minigame_framelimiter = off

# same thing, but for the battle swirl
battleswirl_framelimiter = off

# allow FF7 to use linear filtering for its textures
# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail
linear_filter = off

# plugin used to play music, the FF7Music plugin MUST be enabled for FF7Music to work.
# If no music plugin is loaded the game will play MIDI as usual but FF7Music will NOT work.
music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp



## ENHANCEMENTS ##
## All the little extras that weren't part of the original game, default options include only trivial bug fixes.

# make all dialog boxes transparent, same effect as the transparent dialog boxes YAMP patch
transparent_dialogs = on

# allow max hp/mp to go over 9999, same effect as the YAMP patch by dziugo
break_9999limit = yes

# include armor in magic defense calculation
mdef_fix = yes

# expand battle viewport to cover entire screen and make the battle menu transparent
new_battle_interface = off

# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
post_source = shaders/bloom2.post
enable_postprocessing = no



## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.

# use shaders, if available and supported
# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backend
use_shaders = no

# prevent glitches due to rounding errors by rendering in the nearest (larger, if supported)
# multiple of the original resolution and up/down-scaling
prevent_rounding_errors = yes

# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect
fancy_transparency = off

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = no

# display some real-time debug information
show_stats = no

# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = yes

# use pixel buffer objects to speed up texture loading
# will probably crash horribly on ATI cards but should work for NVIDIA users
use_pbo = no

# replace FF7's default framelimiter timer source
use_new_timer = yes

# use a more stable (but less accurate) timer to control FF7's framelimiter
# this option has no effect unless the use_new_timer option is on
use_stable_timer = no

# plugin used to play movies, FFMpeg is the only choice for now
movie_plugin = plugins/ffmpeg_movies.fgp



## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.

# read files directly instead of using LGP archives
# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd first,
# if this file doesn't exist it will look for the original in the LGP archive
direct_mode = off

# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = no

Using YAMP patches since Vsync is not supported on my Graphic card. It worked perfectly well before, but for some reason all of a sudden the fullscreen just fails. It did the same on FF8 too, might I add.

Could this be an issue in my accelerator settings? Or do I simply change something in the config file to solve this problem?

Your flevel file IS broken, but that might be something you couldn't notice. 4 files are broken inside.

Enable your postprocessing.

I have the 1.02 patch, I did the 0-9 saves thing, I put Aali's driver components into the directory, went into config, passed the self test, and switched to custom driver, but my game looks exactly the same (rather screwed up looking) and when I tried to install the retranslation patch it said Aali's wasn't properly installed.

I don't supposed you'll need to see my config file for this one. And by app log do you mean app.txt? Because mine is blank.

Well if it makes any difference, I tried out the game with just the 1.02 patch and no other graphical patches and didn't get any tearing. I had to run it in software because the game crashes with Direct3d. Are there any other graphical mods I could try or is Aali's the best? In the guide I was using it said to use The SaiNt's High Res FF7PC Patch v1.00 but I saw that it is outdated?

Aali's driver IS NOT a mod. When will people understand? Yes, The SaiNt's patch is outdated. Use Aali's single to begin with.

Hi Xenphor

Have you updated your graphics driver from the Intel site?
