That aside, what is your graphics card? I think you specified it before, but I couldn't tell what you meant. Does the OpenGL driver perform poorly compared to the normal driver at 640x480?

As I said before I have a 280 gtx...Its a EVGA if that helps. YES it does perform poorly compared to the normal driver 60fps on normal 5~10 with Aali's driver.
 
I don't think it can get 60fps, i believe that it's limited to 30

Nahatma: It looks like the texture for Barrett's vest is missing as well. These exact same data files worked with TheSaint's HighRes patch? If so, you'll need to wait for a response from Aali, and he may want to look at the actual data files.

Mako: I apologize, it wasn't clear what you meant. For future reference, it's easier to recognize your card as an NVidia GeForce GTX 280. From what I'm seeing, this is NVidia's new ultra high end gaming card, and if that's the case, the only explanation I can offer for the poor performance is that somehow your game must be running with software OpenGL.
This is supported by this line in your log: INFO: No OpenGL 2.0 support detected, shaders won't be available
So here's a few questions that may help figure out why:
Do you have the latest NVidia drivers?
Is ff7.exe running in compatibility mode?

Looking at http://www.geeks3d.com/20080829/nvidia-forceware-17792-geforce-gtx-280-opengl-extensions/, your card definitely supports OpenGL 2.0, but for some reason the NVidia drivers aren't actually being used.

The texture isn't loading because your OpenGL implementation does not support it for whatever reason.
 
Did you look at that APP.LOG before posting it? Those errors are not caused by the driver and they clearly indicate that you have some seriously broken LGPs.
 
If you did a clean install and the same thing happened, then it's no doubt the disc. You probably have a badly scratched disc, which could have caused data to become corrupt.
 
If it's one of the lgp files that's broken, there shouldn't really be a problem. All three game discs have the same lgp files on them, so if one is scratched, you'll be able to copy a non-corrupted file from one of the non scratched discs and it will work.
 
could it cuz i put the patches on their? i got.. the 1.02 exe, dzuigo's, hardcore mod (by gjoerulv) and the AC mod beta.. and i dont understand any of this stuff when i look at it  :oops:
