Square's graphics are blowing chunks all over me.

0divide · January 10th, 2003

This is what my Squaresoft games are doing:

Here's some screen shots: screen 1 screen 2

The first one (FF9) I couldn't get a good shot because when there were a lot of the little blocks the screenshot came out blank. I circled the block in red. The second pic is Chrono Cross, and shows the problem better. This is what it usually looks like when it does that. The system slows to a crawl and those blocks flash all over the screen. It seems to happen when there's large textures or medium to large animated textures. Is this normal? If not how can I fix it? Everything else is running beautifully, thanks to you guys.

Hires textures to off (your graphics card simply can't handle them)
Offscreen Drawing to 3
Framebuffer Textures to 0
Framebuffer Access to 4
Web Browser to www.ngemu.com/kane

Two suggestions. (make that three)

1) Try setting filtering to zero. It will look nicer (IMO), and it might remove the lines.

2) Turn off 2XSAI. It won't look as nice, but it might remove the black lines.

3) Next time, please don't offlink your stuff. It makes it very hard to read.

Thanks, guys. I'll try your suggestions. Oh, and Ninja, sorry about the offlinks, I just wasn't sure if you guys would be upset about massive, massive posts. Oh, and I've tried toggling the 2xSAI. It makes no difference. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
