Black Screen From the Fire/Waves/Etc, Lots of Games

phoenix85044 · September 24th, 2006, 22:31

I've noticed this mainly from Chrono Cross and Xenogears, when there's a fire and the screen is supposed to undulate and wave as if you could see the heat. The picture turns pretty much all black and I can't accomplish anything.

For those of you who don't know what I mean, think back a bit. In the beginning of Xenogears, when the village is burning, I can't see the picture.
When you're in Lucca's home in CC, I can't see because of the fire. Also, when the Masamune first appears and the screen is supposed to get wavey, the screen gets black.

Understand what I mean? Hopefully so.
Anyhow, I just wanted to know which video plugin or specific configuration would solve this issue.

Thanks for the help

I'm having this same problem, but turning up offscreen drawing(2) isn't working for me. I've read the FAQ and searched the forums for alternate fixes, to no avail.

All I can see is what the characters are saying and a flashing red/black screen. Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks in advance.
