Nvidia Geforce 8800GT + FFVII = Mortal Enemies
« on: 2008-08-28 08:04:21 »
I got an 8800 GT about a year ago, and I recently decided to try and play FFVII PC with it. I installed it, booted it up, loaded Disc 1, and was in the configurations when I noticed something. No matter which Nvidia patch I use (Riva 128 or TNT), my models show up black, and there are graphical glitches in the pre-rendered areas of the game. Plus, the game suffers from graphics corruption in the GUI. For now, I can only run the game in software mode, but I'd really like to run it in hardware mode. I don't think that is possible though, because, from everywhere I looked, from these forums to numerous other websites, either the people don't have an 8 series card, or they haven't fixed their problem.

I guess I am stuck with my software mode for now, which I have to run in quarter screen so that the FMV's don't lag (I have the TrueMotion 2.0 codec installed). If anyone knows a way (or thinks they do) to solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

    • A new copy of FF7 thanks to Salk. Pack (zip/rar/etc) your saved game before sending it to me.

Thanks! Guess I didn't search around enough. Now just to set nHancer to apply FSAA to FFVII, which I hear will get rid of the corruption.
