FF8 cinematics messed up

Zodiac_Nights · July 3rd, 2003

For some reason when I play FF8 the cinematic seines are all choppy... Im running the game of the original game cd, I thought maybe this has something to do with my cdrom not reading at the right speed or something. I don't know, any ideas how I can fix that?

Oh, and do ISO games run smoother than off a cd?

Can you told us your computer spesifications and the plugins + setting you're using to play FF8?

ISO only help to run it faster, load faster not smoother. Smoother depends on the graphic setting.

Yes, games will generally run better off an ISO than with a CD.

As for the slow framerates, check the settings of you graphics plugin. Certain options--like screen smoothing and 2xsai, among others--are demanding on your hardware. You might have FSAA enabled as well; you can disable or lessen this to save some frames.

Disable frameskiping. Thats what i can guess. Do you want us to keep guessing? Why dont you put your specs?

Using an iso will help greatly in fmv's. Using a good, wel configured cd plugin will help also. Peops cdr plugin is a good option, async (w95/98/me) or thread (2000/xp) read options will make videos a lot smoother. But again, give a detailed description of your problem, and your specs + plugins + configs.
