Title: the usual (crash after 1st fight)
Post by: Galuf on 2005-01-11 14:23:24

ok, ive downloaded the riva tnt patch  (btw im using riva tnt with nvidia) and the upside down movie patch, but it still crashes. And, ive tried the Rivatuner thing, but whenever i go into direct3d settings and click textures, there is no enable 8-bit paletted textures. all there is is enable 16/32 bit RGB/RBGA surfaces. i tried to take a screenie but it didnt work. anyhoo, i tried unchecking that box but in 3d hardware mode, when u start up the game, the screen flips blank like the game is gonna start, but then just exits. i also tried
it in rendering mode, but all it does is get to the first battle and then freeze. Sry if this has been answered a thousand times and im an idiot, but any help would be greatly appreciated. thx

If you are using Windows XP locate your ff7.exe file right click on it select properties then select the Compatibility tab enabled it and select Windows 95 from the dropdown list and give that a whirl.

I don't use any patches and doing this immediately the game started working though im not sure about things such as the chocobo races etc. I also have an old nVidia card a Riva TNT2 and i just do it in software mode runs great no text problems no sound problems etc.
