well I realised whats up now..... somewhere along the line I must have lowered my graphics settings and completly forgot about it O.o

sooo I guess with that came the lowered texture support O.o well switching them back to their default settings seems to have fixed the issue lol

*yay* for feeling like an idiot O.o
 
0.7.11b seems to not be working with my system.  I am able to open FF7Config and select Custom driver and the window pops up stating that the self test passed, but after that nothing seems to be working with the driver.  FF7Config no longer opens and instead Windows says FF7Config.exe has stopped working and will notify me if a solution is available.  Window's empty promises aside, FF7 will run but at all initial install settings and any changes to ff7_opengl have no effect.

As best as I can tell I follow the proper install procedure: maximun FF7 install from CD, install patch 1.02, and then install driver 0.7.11b.

I have tried numerous other variables to try and get something to work.  Bootleg or FF7Music does not work for me because FF7Config cannot open.  Interestingly, the game works somewhat with the mods from Remix v 2.5.1 if I install Remix first and then install v 0.7.11b.  In this case, I can make some changes to ff7_opengl, but FF7Config still does not open.

System:
Windows 7 64Bit
Intel i7-3610QM
Nvidia GT 650M

Thanks for any advice.

m0nster,
Downloaded versions of FF7 (Ultima Version?) are not supported on Qhimm.
 
Hi! I want to play FF7 on windows 7 with nVidia.
I have installed the game and patch it with 1.02 patch then i patch it with latest Aali's driver.

Hi Yuri Hyuga

Start "FF7Config" as admin, choose all tabs. Choose the right equipment and do the tests.

Also read this report . The two files I've packed into this archive.

I got a problem, the movies worked, but somehow now they dont play, i checked regedit and the path is H:\ff7\movies, i moved to the mod path to "Movies" and the problem persists, the movie plug in uses some sort of codec?


## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.

# multiple of the original resolution and up/down-scaling
prevent_rounding_errors = yes

# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect
fancy_transparency = on

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner

# display some real-time debug information
show_stats = no

# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = yes

# use pixel buffer objects to speed up texture loading
# will probably crash horribly on ATI cards but should work for NVIDIA users
use_pbo = no

# replace FF7's default framelimiter timer source

# use a more stable (but less accurate) timer to control FF7's framelimiter
# this option has no effect unless the use_new_timer option is on
use_stable_timer = no

# plugin used to play movies, FFMpeg is the only choice for now

I found that one problem is, if your modpath is, for example

C:/Game/ff7/movie
then you need to put
C:/Game/ff7/movie/
into the registry to make it work
 
turn
C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\mods\FacePalmer\movies
into
C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\mods\FacePalmer\movies\

but why is facepalmer your mod path? is there even a movie folder in there?
 
Howdy!

After putting in the files for this mod and the 1.02 patch when I go to the graphic tab on configure it says I don't have a compatible version of FF7 installed and tells me I should get 1.02. Since I have 1.02 I am not sure how to fix this. I replaced the exe and config file with the patched ones. Any suggestions? I am having this same problem with the music mod's installer.

I am getting this error as well, I would appreciate any help.
 
Hey, first post ^^
Anyways. I'm pretty bad with computers but I managed to follow instructions (hopefully) with the remix patch, Aali's driver (0.7.10b), and the opengl_ff7 settings. The game worked prefectly with just the remix, but now I get this problem with Aali's driver installed.
I selected custom driver and everything, full screen... My problem is that my game start screen ( with new game and continue) is grey and the letters look thick or whatever, and all my save files: the picture is white. When i load a save/enter the game its just a white screen. Can anyone help fix my problem please.
Sorry I can't take any screenshots but hopefully someone knows what this problem is.

@ Stan - Sound like the Everything Made of Light glitch.

There are files floating around somewhere to fix it, but you seem capable of editing a text file.  All the replacements do is this:

Aali's 'everything is made of light' fix for NVIDIA cards:
        Use Notepad to open the file .\shaders\nolight\main.frag
        Move the line 'texture_color = texture2D(tex, gl_TexCoord[0].st);' to above the IF statement:
            texture_color = texture2D(tex, gl_TexCoord[0].st);
            if(texture)
Click to expand...
Obviously, that path begins in the root of your FF7 install.
 
turn
C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\mods\FacePalmer\movies
into
C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\mods\FacePalmer\movies\

but why is facepalmer your mod path? is there even a movie folder in there?

Only now the Squaresoft Video plays, i didnt rename the files, i used a slot to Shina Building and the video of scape doesnt run, skips to motorxicle minigAME. tHIS IS GETTING MY NERVES!
 
Hello, I have come across an issue related to Vsync. I've enabled Vsync in my graphics accelerator settings, but I get an error/errors like the following:

"GLITCH: Vsync seems to be forced ON, minigame framelimiter will not work"

The same also appears with the battle swirl, but that's really obvious and probably not worth mentioning.

My question is: how should I try to enable Vsync properly? I have an Intel graphic card (GM965), but it's not that ancient it wouldn't support Vsync, is it?
 
Hi DestroGalacticmon

Look at this post please.
With some Intel graphics chip is not working the framelimiter.


@ savage-xp

How many files are in the movie folder?
It should be 105, including "bike.avi".
If everyone is there, try whether you "bike.avi" can play.

Greetings Kompass63

Yes, 105 (with "eidoslogo.avi"), have just checked again.
You can just copy the missing files from the CD's

...

Edit:
I'm using this Videos.
