Title: entire game running at single digit FPS
Post by: darknil on 2011-12-10 02:42:52

[Edit: Fixed? A reboot seems to have resolved the issue, but if anybody knows what's causing it, it'd be nice. This has happened multiple times and I'd rather not have to reboot every time.]

For some reason, my installations of FF7 have begun sputtering at approximately 1FPS with no apparent provocation. They install fine and I can boot the game fine for an indefinite period of time, but then they suddenly start doing this. Is there some setting i'm missing that has been triggered? I'm not understanding the issue, and I'd rather not uninstall and reinstall the game, along with the 25-30 minute bootleg installer each time this happens.

As I said, the game installs fine, normally runs fine, then it decides it doesn't want to run fine anymore and runs like crap.

APP.log in case that helps:

What did you install? Please post a screenshot of your FF7 folder.

You can try  enabling PBO in ff7_opengl.cfg.

It's always good to defrag your drive too.

Make sure to run FF7 as administrator.

Darknil, can you confirm if this solved your issue?
