Post by: svennis on 2004-11-06 19:51:47: Swedish: ja jag kan spela filmer frÃ¥n hÃ¥rddisken, bara att spelet hÃ¤nger sig nÃ¤r jag startar de nÃ¤r jag har hardware grafik pÃ¥.

English: yes, i can play movies from my harddrive, just that the game hang up when i start it with hardware accelerated graphics on.

Post by: Qhimm on 2004-11-07 04:59:19: Och fastÃ¤n det Ã¤r skojigt att prata svenska sÃ¥ Ã¤r det nog att fÃ¶redra att hÃ¥lla sig till engelska eller Ã¥tminstone skriva tvÃ¥sprÃ¥kigt som svennis, sÃ¤rskilt i ett sÃ¥nt hÃ¤r Ã¤mne dÃ¤r andra besÃ¶kare kanske kan dra nytta av innehÃ¥llet.

English: Mumbo-jumbo about the importance of making yourself understood by everyone.

Post by: Aaron on 2004-11-07 17:24:18: James Pond: Just because you don't understand what they're saying doesn't mean you need to throw the thread off-topic. There's still an issue with FF7 we're trying to solve... I thought about issuing you a warning, but decided that I'd just post a warning this time.

How about clueing me in?

Post by: Qhimm on 2004-11-08 04:51:49: Well fortunately all the tech-talk can be deduced from the English parts. The question was "Can you play movies from your hard drive?", and the answer was given in both languages. The other stuff in Swedish is me making a comment that while it may be fun to speak Swedish here, English is preferable, especially since other people will be insterested in the content. The last remark is "Okay, I'll remember that for next time."

i sloved the problem, FF7's movieplayer, i installed it first, i removed it, and now it work fine .. BUT ... i can't have FSAA on, it makes grid lines, the movies turns 10x bigger, and text and incombat messes up ground.
