FF7 on Vista :/
« on: 2007-05-30 14:02:16 »
Well, I yesterday installed Vista Ultimate, and it's working really nicely. Well, until I tried playing FF7 that is.

Well, I normally installed FF7 from my cd's, and when I tried playing it, it went into the game, I wondered why the FMV's in the start(The Logo and stuff) wouldn't show up, then I pressed enter and it went into the menu, and I just thought it was something bugged. Well, then I played it a bit until the first reactor explosion, and that's where it got f*cked up. The game got stuck when it started playing the fmv, in the same way as it did in the beginning.

I checked the FF7 FAQ thing about the truemotion thing, but it was already disabled, so what could be the problem?

Comp specs:
Abit NF7-S2G
AMD Athlon 3200+(2,1 gHz)
Ati Radeon 9600XT(256MB)
512Mb Kingston 333 mHz
Vista Ultimate(Version 6.0) X86.

E:Please delete this post, fixed it already(Forgot to search before posting >,<).

I got the PC version working on Vista fine. Here's what I did:

1) Installed patch 1.02
2) Disabled FFDshow's TruMotion decoder to avoid interference
3) Installed the FMV driver (http://aaronserv.dyndns.org/hosting/ffsf/downloads/ff7betap1.zip)
4) Set Win98 compatability mode on ALL executables. That includes ff7, ff7config, even the cdcheck one.

The game then worked perfectly fine :)
