Aali's driver [v 0.7.11b] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

[TABS1975]

Thanks for your quick reply !!!

I got my problem solved by looking at the APP LOG file

i was using the xp compatibility and was not good for my windows7 , so i reverted back and found a new problem with the LGP part
so i got the file and overwrite the other file and then it loaded past the first screen ----

BUT now i have the problem of playing nightmare mode instead of the vanilla mode ? 

why is that ??

also why do i still have this error -----------------> ERROR: could not open file C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII\ff7input.cfg       <-----------------?


Code tags are your friend. They keep the board nice and clean, and make things easier to read. ~Covarr

also why do i still have this error -----------------> ERROR: could not open file C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII\ff7input.cfg       <-----------------?

This is normal.
This File will be created if you use the Config IN GAME.

I also recommend to disable the internal resolution. Your graphics card does not seem to be the most modern

And please use the "insert Code" funktion for long text.

Update your graphics drivers, you're running with a generic driver. What type of system do you have, what operating system, what type of video processor?
Nevermind, I guess I missed the whole next page after Clever said something.

Hello, I have a few graphical errors with Ali's driver. One is an error with textures (as pictured); the error can persist fora  few screens then returns to normal, or I can bring up the menu. This texture error is somewhat infrequent so it doesn't really affect game play that much. The second error is that character models don't seem to blink correctly (this one kind of creeps me out, haha...). Their eyes are open and normal and when they close them to blink, they never reopen. On a side note, I'm also running the Rose and Wine sound mod. I'm playing on Windows 7 64-bit, so I understand if these error are not fixable. Thanks for any help in advanced.



My config and app files:

Code: [Select]

# ff7_opengl-0.7.10b config file



## USER OPTIONS ##
## If you just want to play the game, these are the only options you'll want to change.

# set the window size (or fullscreen resolution) of FF8
# 0 means use original resolution (whatever ff7.exe provides)
# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratio
window_size_x = 1920
window_size_y = 1080
preserve_aspect = no
fullscreen = yes

# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
# does not affect the old external textures feature, those should still go in textures/
mod_path = none

# check your driver settings if this option doesn't seem to work
enable_vsync = no

# allow FF8 to use linear filtering for its textures
# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail
linear_filter = off



## ENHANCEMENTS ##
## All the little extras that weren't part of the original game, default options include only trivial bug fixes.

# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
post_source = shaders/bloom2.post
enable_postprocessing = no



## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.

# use shaders, if available and supported
# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backend
use_shaders = no

# prevent glitches due to rounding errors by rendering in the nearest (larger, if supported)
# multiple of the original resolution and up/down-scaling
prevent_rounding_errors = yes

# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect
fancy_transparency = on

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = no

# display some real-time debug information
show_stats = no

# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = no

# use pixel buffer objects to speed up texture loading
# will probably crash horribly on ATI cards but should work for NVIDIA users
use_pbo = no



## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.

# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = no

load_library = "RaW"
disable_popup = on

It's a well known bug.  It's been fixed for his next driver release.  You should have read this thread first, there's an identical post on the FIRST PAGE.

It's a well known bug.  It's been fixed for his next driver release.

...saying a little prayer. You know, Aali, if you can stand reading this: I'm sure we've all been terrifically annoying (especially me) throughout this period since the last custom driver release, but I just hope you can get some pleasure knowing the overwhelming joy and excitement so many people around the world will feel when you finish and post it. I've mellowed just slightly since I came to the site some three years ago, but I will literally jump around like a 4 year old when it happens.

Is there no donation setup for the driver developer? I'm preparing to do some donating soon... when Reunion MO is released at least.

Heck I'd donate to help with server costs if there were a simple way to do so. Is there?

[DLPB_]

Well this is why I agree the driver should be released periodically, and not in 2 year intervals   Some of these bugs are being reported time and time again, and no one knows what has been fixed.  I second the donation thing, I'd donate to Aali, that's for sure.

[Hellbringer616]

Third for the donating. And DLPB can attest that I actually will donate

[Template]

I'm guessing aali doesn't want or need donations, doesn't want negative attn. from square.

[Salk]

I have been hoping against hope to find here an announcement for the new driver release in the past two (!) years, checking almost every day.

I would gladly donate myself if it helped anything but I don't think that's the case.

[Curt-Kineas]

Hello,

Sorry but, I wanna know if someone could reupload Aali's driver for FF8.
I don't know what's the latest (I saw ff8_opengl-0.2a.zip) but all the links are dead.

Because I installed RaW.exe but now I don't have sound (because I didn't installed Aali's driver first).
What should I do after having the Aali's driver? Remove RaW.exe, install Aali's driver than install RaW.exe ?

[DLPB_]

Make sure that you use latest aalis driver, then make sure that ff8_opengl.cfg has this line at the bottom

load_library = "RaW"

[Curt-Kineas]

Make sure that you use latest aalis driver, then make sure that ff8_opengl.cfg has this line at the bottom

load_library = "RaW"

I would like to use it, but all the links (for FF8) are dead.

That's why I ask to reupload the latest driver for FF8

[LeonhartGR]

I sent him a quite detailed pm... Unless I can't help him don't bother DLPB

[Hellbringer616]

Curt, the drivers have been merged. So there isn't an f8 driver anymore. Just v0.7.11b. it works for both FF7 and FF8

[Curt-Kineas]

Ok thanks ^^

Well... I searched about my problem. There's almost the same prob here : http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=9692.0 (deifyer's message)

I did everything (Even add the line "load_library = "RaW"")

But when I try to play (if I click on FF8.exe or FF8_Launcher.exe) I got this error message "Failed to load custom driver.".
But! If I remove eax.dll I'm able to play (with FF8.exe and FF8_Launcher.exe), but now, with the installation of RaW.exe I just have the sound, and no music. (and I write the line "load_library = "Raw").

[Rundas]

Did you go to FF8Config and select custom graphics driver?

[Curt-Kineas]

MMmm? I see nothing like this, in my settings options.

FF8config.exe :
I got 4 tabs :
- "Current Settings" (I can't do anything, it just display what are my settings)
- "Graphics" Display :
                                  - "Primary Display Drivers" (It's the only option)
                                  - "Renderer" I have the choice between "Direct3D hardware acceleration" or "Software renderer" I tried the both. (The same result)
- Resolution
- Movie resolution
- Performances option

It's the FF8 Configuration V1.00, I tried to play with FF8 Configurator 2.2 but I go the same error...

[Hellbringer616]

It should be noted that you need the non-geforce patch.
http://ffsf.aaron-kelley.net/downloads/ff8_1.2.zip

That is the direct download for it. try that, If it asks to overwrite any files do so. than reinstall Aali's driver and try again

[Kompass63]

It should be noted that you need the non-geforce patch.

But for the correct language please,
look here

Did you go to FF8Config and select custom graphics driver?

Not needed for FF8

But! If I remove eax.dll...

... you play without Aalis driver 
This dll provides only that the driver is used at all.

[Rundas]

I don't know anything about that game.

[Vgr]

I would like to point out that I updated the first post with a FAQ section. I suggest giving it a read for those who have issues. It sums up what has been said in the 30+ pages of this thread. Took me a good 2 hours to put together so I hope it doesn't go to waste >_>

~Vgr

[Kein]

Can't say I have time (and patience) to read all 36 pages so I just ask here: is the driver compatible with the re-release? If so - what are the known issues so far?

[moothead]

Getting this with Aali's driver installed. Fresh install of the game, replaced the files with 1.02, re-downloaded the driver and copied it to the folder and selected the driver in ff7config.exe. Haven't changed anything in the .cfg file yet. Running on Windows 7 64bit if that matters.

[LeonhartGR]

I want that mod!:P
