Alright, so I installed Remix 2.5.1 - Questions

[Mkilbride2599]

Alright...so, I installed it, and fully didn't expect it to work(I mean heck, Windows 7-64bit, when I remember I had trouble with XP!)

And bam, it worked right away due to Remix. Nice.

My Specs:
GTX280 @ 257.15 drivers
Q6600 @ 3.0GHZ
4GB DDR2 PC8000(1000MHZ)
Windows 7-64bit

So I haven't really started playing yet, but I just wanted to get into the game and see how it went. Issues I had, the FMV's remained 15FPS at all times, the same FPS they play in Media Player Classic, but they're jittery in-game, but in MPC, the videos play nicely. Also, not sure if anything can be done about this as it's an older Engine modified to hell, but what about FPS? It's @ 27-28FPS, and it acts rather slow. I don't recall if it was a 60FPS game, as it's been well...4 years, but that seems rather low. Is it just a limitation of the Engine due to age, and all these graphical enhancements thrown in?

Thanks.

Ah...I def thought it was tech related, sorry.

[obesebear]

Tech Support is for crashes and just getting the game working.  At least you didn't put it in Game Tweaking

[Mkilbride2599]

So I tried updating to the latest .78 beta of the OpenGL Driver...my FPS is now 30-32, but oddly enough, it is lower in battle, 14FPS, and constantly jitters. Videos have not been fixed. /sigh

[sl1982]

Battle scenes run natively at 15fps, so 14 may be normal.

[Mkilbride2599]

But before 0.78, it ran @ 15FPS and seemed smooth as 15FPS can be, now it jitters and seems rough. Of course if I run whatever FFVII_H is, it seems to run just dandy, though FMVs still stutter, the game has gone back to being smooth.

 Man, I was really hoping the Remix patch would just be a bang, install, and it'd take care of these problems. Guess it's my fault for wanting to be lazy.
