Is it a GeForce4 MX or Ti?

You need the chocobo patch and the 1.02 patch.  If you're using a Ti, you'll also need to disable 8-bit palleted textures in Rivatuner for the text to look right.

Rivatuner: Download here.


Click on this, then click on the second button that pops up (DirectDraw and Direct3D settings).


Disable 8-bit Palleted Textures on the Textures tab.

Is there an FAQ thread about this.. Like basic how to instructions to get FF7/8 to run properly? If not someone should write one..

Oh oh i see dont look at me LoL I havent even tried to run 7 or 8 on my pc since xp install.. Geez.. that feels almost like i am not being a good Final Fantasy nut.. its a travesty.. LoL

I said to disable them if your text looks wierd in the game.
But yeah, 1.02 then Chocobo should work.

Yes, it should be possible to get the game running in Direct3D mode.
