Solved Problems / Re: [SOLVED]ff7 Window Mode Troubles

« on: 2013-06-14 09:24:40 »

I have the same problem, do you now just change your desktop window settings every time?

Also since I cannot resize the window afterwards this fix only works if I run window mode in 640 x 480

Thanks for your help, I merged the mods folder and it's working now.

I'm still having issues with window mode, but that's not what this thread was about in the first place. So thanks for helping, I'm deeming this thread SOLVED

Thanks, I actually managed to get them working now. The game is working, too. I can actually start it now!

However text windows appear to have been pushed together so letters overlap and stuff.
Also if I enable window mode the game still forces 640 x 480 resolution and then opens a window, which makes it really meaningless to enable window mode. Any fixes for this?

I will provide screenshots in a moment

My native resolution is 1366 x 768 btw

Remark: The overlapping text also appears ingame, I just tried.

PS: Yeah I did a driver update and it helped

Troubleshooting / SOLVED: Movies not playing

« on: 2013-06-14 08:01:20 »

Dear community,

I have a problem with my FF7. I bought the version from the Squaresoft store and tried running it and it was working (including movies).

Then I ran bootleg and modded it, including replacing movies. However now when I try to run the game no movies are working. Not even the Eidoslogo. After a few seconds it takes me to the start screen and I can click after "New Game", but afterwards it just stays on blackscreen.

Update: THe problem may be with video playback itself. I tried replacing Eidoslogo.avi with a random other video, then it was playing the sound (but the sound only). Do you have any ideas on how to fix that?

Update 2: After messing around a bit an reinstalling Ali's custom driver I got the Eidoslogo.avi to work again, but now it gives me the following error message: "Opengl renderer appears to be the microsoft software renderer. Your graphics drivers are probably not installed correctly. Expect extreme lag"
And as it says: it's really slow
Also the game opens first in full screen 640 x 480 and then inside that screen opens a window mode FF7. It's strange. I tried configuring it to window mode but yeah

Any ideas?
