Title: FF7 running really slow
Post by: chrispy on 2010-11-18 19:06:48
I have installed the ff7 along with Aali's custom driver, avalanche's high-res patch and ficedula (thank you btw). Whenever I run the game in a resolution bigger than the original 320x240 it runs really slowly, with lotsa lagging

Any help is appreciated

Hmmmm, well judging by all the information you've given, it seems you're suffering from Shitty Computer Syndrome, or SCS.  This is a terminal diagnosis.... I'm so sorry to have to be the one to break it to you.

Try posting your app.log from your FF7 folder here and it may give us some indication to what is happening

You have a builtin crappy intel card..

If your display can do 1280x960 (or 1280x1024) that should work well.

when both are displayed in fullscreen, i get an error saying it needs to be displayed at original resolution.

when displayed in window mode, still laggy as hell. Thanks anyway

i'd recomend this

i had this problem before and this compilation fixed all my issues. If this fails then then there will be no other reason other than your computer not beable to handle the hires mods.

Well have you tried running it without any mods ? does it still run slow ?
You could also try a old version of Aali's Driver and see if that makes any difference, try just going back 1 version or so and see if the game plays any faster.

well have you tried using the Low Res Version of the Avalanche overhall, you are using the high res patch correct ? The high res patch is ment for computers that run in alot higher res then what your running at and that may be the cause of the slow down.

OK, just don't forget after you install the low res one to delete the cache, if you don't you may end up still using the high one by accident.
