FF7 winxp world map lagging problem with radeon
« on: 2003-01-04 00:11:41 »
I read every post and did possibly everything. I have a pent 3 1.6 gig pc with win xp. I have radeon 7500 and have installed the 1.02 nvidia patch so that i can run the mode in direct 3d acceleration. The game runs perfectly fun, movies run perfect, no lag at all, graphics are perfect. However, when i first entered the world map, transitions start to get very slow and it starts lagging horredously. I dont know how to fix this? Every time i enter a battle in the world it takes 30 secs before i actually start fighting. After i exit the world map, (in town, caves, etc) the lag completely dissapears and everything runs perfect? Anyone know how to fix this ? Thx (btw i tried installing the config patch only and not the .exe included in the 1.02 patch, that made the lag problem in the world go away, but whenever i entered somewhere else besides the world map everything around me was black except for the characters?)

I either read this exact problem through a search engine that sent me here or I saw a solution to it at Eidos.  I'm not certain which though.

Do you have your virtual ram set at something on the low side? If so try doubling it up.
