Bike effects Missing?
« on: 2009-06-01 16:50:39 »
This may sound like an irrelvant problem but im stilll trying to figure out what causes it.

FF7 works fine for me. I run the 1.02 patch,have the high res patch, the psx music patch and the frame limiter for the mini games. Its all running great. But when im playing the Bike mini game i just realised that the crash/skid effects that the shinra bikes emit when they are hit by clouds sword are missing? I played the PSX version recently and noticed the difference.

I also watched several youtube videos of the bike mini game on the PC, and the effects weren't missing! These people were running the game with hardware acceleration, Nvidia TNT patch and had FSAA enabled just like me. Whats the difference!?  :-o

Did you try it without any patches? Specifically, the high res patch has a number of texture-related glitches.

Without the saint high res patch the graphics are missing for direct 3d but then if i run it in software mode, the graphics are there.

Try using Aali's graphics driver, instead of The SaiNt's patch. It uses OpenGL instead of Direct3D, so there's a strong chance it'll work better. It can also do the same high-res stuff as The SaiNt's patch.

You legend!

Its working perfect now. I never knew there was a way to change the internal plugin to openGL till now. I have the high res patch on, FSAA enabled and the openGL plugin is working a charm with all the graphics included.

Thanks once again!

P.S. Im sure even my FMVs are looking less pixaleted now  :-D

Uninstall the high-res patch. It's not needed with the custom graphics driver. In fact, use the original unmodified 1.02 exe.

Thanks i took your advice. I was noticing some tecture glitchs with the high res patch installed. As soon as i uninstalled it, the glitchs were removed.

Its funny, now even the road markings are coming up on the road. Previously it was just blank. This fix has improved a lot.  :-D
