Hi! I have found this community very helpful to make my FF8 experience better. I do have one problem, hope you can help me:
I installed Aali's custom driver v0.7.11b, but the game cannot run in full screen! I can see the graphics improvement but I can't understand what is keeping me from running the game on full screen!
I had NO problem with the game before I installed the custom driver, but I'm using FF8Launcher v1.31 (again, without a hitch). Everything in the game seems to work fine. I'm running Vista 32bit, SP2. Here's my ff8opengl.cfg layout:
# 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 = 0
window_size_y = 0
preserve_aspect = yes
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 = yes
# 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 = yes
# 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 = yes
# 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
I hope this info is enough for you guys to help me out, thanks in advance!!
