wait, is the lag like....scene changes or what

Warrior84 · June 11th, 2004

Ok when i got into a battle the swirl goes but the sound goes laggy like choppy and the swirl lags and when you go into the battle the sound is still lagging then its normal then after the fight when you go to the experince menu it lags again until you close it , every single time its very annoying , is this something to do with my sound settings? or graphics settings?

**hushypushy** · June 11th, 2004

what plugins are you using? post your settings for all of em.

Warrior84 · June 11th, 2004

I've had the same problem on a couple of computers, one being a school computer, the other a friend's computer. What are your system specs?

Warrior84 · June 11th, 2004

Pentium 4 , 3GHZ
512MB PC 3200 RAM at 400MHZ
Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
Sound Blaster Audigy 2
120GIG HD

I think those specs are more then enough but it still doesnt run perfect

**hushypushy** · June 11th, 2004

assuming that your drivers are all up to date it should work perfect.

try Sapu's CDR driver-- it autoconfigures.

use the Eternal SPU with stock options.

and use Pete's OGL2 with these settings:

Gamer1 · June 11th, 2004

the sound lag is due to the fact your system is slowed down to a crawl due to your video settings.

in pete's ogl2, set framebuffer effects to 0, and framebuffer upload to 2

in pete's ogl1.75, set framebuffer texture to 0, and framebuffer access to 4.

that should make your system not lag.

Warrior84 · June 11th, 2004

Ok ill have ff7 in a bit ill be able to try it.

What do you mean stock options? and i tried before using open gl 2.5 on very high but it always crashes so i need to put it on high

Warrior84 · June 12th, 2004

Ok i tried your set up with open gl 2 , 2.5 and the game looks horrible the battle swirl didnt lag only a little bit on the experince screen but the game looks like crap.

I then tried it on Open GL 1.75 the game also looks crap and the battle swirl is wierd doesnt do it right.

The game looks good if i put texture filtering to 6 but then i get the green lines and no battle swirl.

I tried the game on d3d but when i put it on 0 and 4 the game exits to desktop

Damn looks like ill never be able to play this

so any way here are the specs for the plugin im using and the game looks very crappy.

Full Screen Mode = Checked
Desktop Resolution = 640x480
Color Depth = 32bit
Texture Quality = Bester Colors , More Ram needed
Texture Filtering = 4 Extended with out sprites unfilterd 2d
Hi Res Textures = 0 none
GFX vram = 128MB
Use FPS Limit = Checked
Auto Detect FPS LIMIT = Checked
Off Screen Drawing = 3 Enhanced Shows more stuff
Frame Buffer Textures = 0 Emulated VRAM needs vFVP
Frame Buffer Access = 4 , Full software drawing
Alpha Multipass = Checked
Mask Bit = Checked
Advanced Blending = Checked
Special Game Fixes = Checked , FF7

Open GL2.5 works good it just looks really bad

aj_hix36 · June 12th, 2004

the game always look crappy, u cant really change that.

Warrior84 · June 12th, 2004

no im talking about worse then the playstation , the backgrounds has little blocks like nintendo graphics

aj_hix36 · June 12th, 2004

umm, if ur seeing blocky graphics, then change ur resolution higher. personally i got mine running on 1280 x 960.

Warrior84 · June 12th, 2004

:cuss2: no matter what resoulution it put it on it looks blocky on any settings , some one please help me using 4.6 catalyst drivers

Clements · June 12th, 2004

There's only so much you can do with Playstation graphics, use a high resolution and the textures are made up of giant squares. Solution: Use TV-Out.

seph29 · June 12th, 2004

Mind posting a picture of this terrible blockiness? I keep hearing people say how terrible it looks and I'm curious what exactly they're seeing.

MrTeamWork · June 12th, 2004

Let's not forget final fantasy 7 looks like trash in the first place, to say nothing about it's emulated form with pixelated backrounds.
