minor Pete DX7 gpu problems in ff9

clifff · July 12th, 2001

Ok, here's the deal. When playing MDEC movies in FF9 (with the DX7, the soft works just fine) i get this weird out of sync vertical line ~ 1/3 from the right hand side of the screen. when I take a screen shot, it doesn't show up.... Any suggestions (other than switching back to the soft plugin)

Next:

when flying around on the Invincible, every once in a while this weird wireframelike thing pops up. The attached picture shows it. Again, this only occurs on the DX7, and not the soft.

Any suggestions here?

Thanks a lot!

Just one question:
Is your video card overclocked?
Also,can you post your plugin configuration?(a screenshot would be the best).

my graphics card is NOT overclocked.

Rargh · July 13th, 2001

well, are u using a tweaking program?
If yes put the defaults settings...

Try to do like this configuration.

Rargh · July 13th, 2001

i Forgot:

Try to put different modes of Advanced blendings( software/ hardware.)
and try to put the 32 bits color depth too (and disable the 16bits color dithering)

See ya

The line in MDEC's is cause by Filtering...disabling filtering of Mdecs removes the line (not completely though, but almost)
