Aali's driver [v 0.7.8b] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

[plumcake]

Ive gone through these forums over and over trying to figure out how to fix the "ERROR: init_indirect failed, scaling and postprocessing will be disabled" problem. I tried changing my resolution to 640x480, I tried turning off prevent_rounding_errors, I tried updating my video card...nothing worked.
I tried changing the renderer to OpenGL[BROKEN] and for some reason it worked out but it screwed up my resolution and the battles came with white blocks. Im using .7.8b. Should I try other versions?
Help?

I have a Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family and I have tried to update it and it says that it is up to date.

I also have Vista and run everything as administrator. From the config to the game.



^with the custom driver



^with OpenGl[BROKEN] but the screen is blown up and cant see whole thing



^Error before the game even begins with custom driver

Don't use the old high-res patch.

[plumcake]

What do you mean?
The Saintz patch? I uninstalled my game and reinstalled it without that patch on. If its still on my game how do I get rid of it?

[philman]

i think your problem is no opengl 2.0 support but i don't sure if is this 

[plumcake]

Well, thanks to Aali my problemis fixed. I just cant leave fullscreen mode but I guess thats better then nothing
I take that back xD The beginning  Eidos and Squaresoft doesnt show and I cant start a new game xD More help?

[obesebear]

I can offer some help.  This doesn't belong in Tech Related.

[plumcake]

Sorry...But I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and still the same error but less glitches so I think its ok for now

The game crash happens when my party enter to a battle in this area,I use the Aali's Custom Graphics Driver 0.7.8b

Using any mods? Which weapons did you have equipped? Exactly which scene were you in?

[checopoco]

Using no mods except for a soundfont whit TiMidity++
Cloud level 16 Mythril Saber,Mythril Armlet,Star Pendant,lighting,fire,ice,sense
Red XIII level 14 Mythril Clip,Mythril Armlet,enemy skill,sense,steal,poison
Aeris level 14 Mythril rod,Mythril Armlet,ice,chocomog,heal,all
After the escene with the midgar zolom imapled by Sephiroth,first time in the mine.

Okay The reason I was being so specific is because I can't fix that unless I can reproduce it and so far I've dismissed similar reports as driver bugs, now however I have received enough similar reports to reconsider it. This reminds me of another crash that goes waaay back, like in the 0.6 releases. Perhaps it is even a bug in FF7 itself.

FOUND IT THE THREAD!

Using .7.9b and Team Avalanche's latest release (including GUI 2.07).

Okay a few things:  I'm on a laptop and use ff7input but there seem to be some problems.  I've tried fixing them by going to the ingame config but that yielded no progress.  Anyway whenever I hold shift, up, and left Cloud only runs up rather than diagonal.  It's only this combination though every other one works.  Also many non keyboard buttons (volume up/down etc.) seem to hit cancel and field (pointer finger).  Also my right shift brings up the menu but it also hits cancel and field.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Also I need to turn ff7music's volume down to 35/255 to be able to hear the sound effects.  I was wondering if there is any way to change the sound effects volume?

Also caching seems to make some Team Avalanche imported textures (but not others) come through.  For instance, restore still uses the old one.  This isn't a modpath issue either.  Also it works fine with caching off.  On the topic of spells, I can see the square edge of the bolt 1's "plumes" texture.  I don't think it's the texture's fault since TA makes all textures 1 to 1 replica updates.

Also I ran through the motorbike game recently and an error came up about the vsync (I couldn't catch it though).  I checked the .cfg and it said the framelimiter needs the vsync turned on but there was no option for it anywhere in the file.

Looks at thread title.  Looks at stickies.  Crap.

Having some trouble finding out whats going on here.. when I load the game I get two errors, any suggestions or help is much appreciated guys.

LOCK UNLOCK TEST

Not too sure where to go to next i'm no computer programmer but I do understand things decently I believe haha.

p.s was my post deleted to the trash can? kind of curious why if an admin did that or I misclicked something?

[obesebear]

Yeah I'm actually positive I deleted this post by you yesterday.  Why you ask?  Well because this isn't even the version you're using...and that's overly obvious.   And on top of that you already posted in the .7.9 version thread.   Thereby making you an asshole for posting about your problem in multiple threads.

Now I don't like you.  So you don't get to post for a while.


Also, this is now locked.. not sure why anyone would be using an older version at this point
