Black screen at startup (FF8PC)
« on: 2010-03-12 20:09:50 »
Can't find disc one of my PSX version so I loaded up the PC version, installed fine.  Config says that 8-bit paletted textures failed check, and when I try to start the game it just goes black and... does nothing.  No sound no nothing.  In the last three hours I've found plenty of fixes for the 8-bit issue for NVidia cards but I have an ATI card.  (Radeon 4800 Series).

Running in vista, tried every compatibility mode I could find through properties, tried lowering my card as far as I could AND compatibility, even tried a miniprogram that fixed the NVidia issue. 
The closest I've gotten is when I lowered my card and the game's performance as far as I could with all compatibility under software render, it dropped back out of the game and brought the config back up.  Any ideas guys?

Custom Graphics Driver version .7.5b.   You will need to rename FF7_opengl.fgd to FF8 though.
