I seem to be having a different problem than anything else reported in here... I actually was playing through FF8 using Pete's D3D video plugin then found out about the OpenGL2 plugin. Since I have a fairly nice computer, I thought I'd try it. It looks great except when on the world map (well, the battle swirl is messed up too... but I don't really care). Some of the polygons just don't seem to be drawn. I tried several different configurations but couldn't get it to work on the plugin.
My specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+
ATI X1950 XT 256MB
Windows XP x64 (I do have a 32-bit version of XP installed if anyone thinks that's the problem...)
Here's some screenshots...

It looks like some polygons are black, but I think it's just not drawing them, and the background behind them is black.

My settings for the above screenshot.

I tried it with everything turned off and got the same result.

My settings for the above screenshot.

It looks fine with Pete's D3D Plugin (but the game doesn't look as good...).
Any ideas? Sorry for reviving this thread, by the way.
