Troubleshooting / Strange FMV cutscene behavior
« on: 2008-10-08 13:19:44 »
I'm running FFVII both on Vista and XP (not at the same time, but I'm playing on both machines off and on) and I noticed something the Vista one is doing that the XP one doesn't. It hasn't broken the game yet, but it might.
I'm not entirely sure how to describe this so I'll just give an example. Cutscene number 2, after the intro, shows cloud looking up at the No. 1 reactor. During this the camera is supposed to zoom down to him and show him looking up while the FMV plays. In Vista, the camera that shows Cloud never moves even though the FMV plays. When the FMV is over the game returns to normal. This happens in every FMV that has moving characters overlayed against the FMV: Junon Elevator, Gelnika taking off, Reactors exploding. The camera that should be moving the character's position, and even events like Cloud helping Jessie as the first reactor is exploding, doesn't act. It's like the game doesn't know that the FMV started, but it does know when it ends because the game continues as normal when the FMV is over.
I'm using the 1.02 patched with the Chocobo fix and Gypt applied. I also installed K-Lite to get the FMVs playing in the first place. Did I skip a step somewhere? Does my issue make no sense at all?
