Final Fantasy IX; Battle Swirl

[KaiTheGreat]

I'm not really that knowledgeable about these things and I'm slowly learning... I'm trying to play Final Fantasy IX and when I get into a battle the swirl and fight is extremely slow. I'm not sure what to do about it.

The swirl seems to fix its self when video is set to full screen but the game play tends to be fairly slow when in battle and during motion scenes

Final Fantasy 9 uses a lot of framebuffer effects. Unfortunately, with your integrated video card, it will be slow unless you disable/lower most of the framebuffer effects. Lower the settings for Offscreen Drawing, Framebuffer textures, and framebuffer access.

You can also try to use the Dx6 D3d video plugin.
