If you want to use it with the Steam version, you'll need to convert it to the 1998 version first. Of course, I only advise this if you want to use mods that require it; if you just want the features built into the driver itself, they're largely already included in the Steam version.
 
Nah, the opengl driver handles the FPS far better and the Hyperjump crash is also solved. But the question is for which FF you want to use it? I think the direct9 and opengl driver are very equal for VIII.
 
New sound driver seems to mute sound effects a lot when it should only be muting music. Known issue?

At the end of the Kalm flashback this is especially obvious:


1:55:40 to 1:57:10 is all silence here.
 
I am running the old version of  FF7 with version 0.81b of Aali's OpenGL drivers, and everything is white.  My App.log is saying that textures are failing to load.  I ran a max install, applied the 1.02 patch, installed the 0.81b drivers, configured FF7config.exe, ran the updated registry file, and adjusted the opengl config file.  Beginning fmv is white, textures are white - models load though.  What do I have to do to fix this?

Here is a copy of my app.log

You've set the option for the mod_path wrong, I think.
Either on 'mod_path = none' or to sub-folders in the mods folder, eg

mod_path = Reunion
 
Thank you for checking out my problem, Kompass.

 I set mod_path equal to none, and it simply treated it as if there were a sub-folder in the mods folder called "none".   :P  It did not disable searching for mod files.   I don't have any mods installed - I was just wanting to play the game with the updated graphics engine with all the original models and textures, with updated music.  The graphics work fine with version 0.7.11b, but then I can't use the updated music.  Is there a way to basically tell this driver to use the default textures?
 
I did install the latest 1.02 patch before applying the graphics plugins.  I haven't tried copying the data directly from the CD's - I made images of my old discs and am using Daemon Tools to mount them.

I went ahead and uninstalled and reinstalled the game (max install), applied full control in the security settings of the folders to the users group, applied the recommended patches and drivers in the correct order, etc.  Based on everything I have read, I strongly believe I did everything necessary for the game to run properly.  The FMV sequences still appear only as blank white screens (audio works) and the textures are all white.  The shapes of the textures are there, they are just white.  This is puzzling to me!  Lol

Do you have the original installation CD yet?
Attempts to copy the folder 'data' from there to your hard drive.
I had to also massive problems to produce clean images of the CD's.
 
I have copied the contents of the data folder from the original installation disc to the HDD, to no avail.  The problem i am having is the exact same as the problem that folks have run across with the 0.7.11 drivers, I think they called it the "everything is made of light" error.  To fix that problem, you just had to put use_shaders = off in the config file, but doing that with 0.8.1b does not work - an error pops up saying something to the effect that command does not exist or something.  =P  Thank you for putting up with me.
 
You have a texture problem, has nothing to do with the shaders (at last this time).
Do you have the latest driver installed for you graphic card?
 
I do indeed have the latest drivers for my card installed.  I installed them early last week hoping it might solve the issue.  I have an nvidia mobile gtx I think.  I am not at computer now so will have to get specifics later if they are needed.
 
The mistake in his app.log point rather to the fact that the Prorgamm the lgp files can not unpack properly.

One possibility would be that WyndBalduram has installed (eg) German version of FF7, but uses the engischen 1.02 patch.
But then one would have also to rename the gflevel.lgp in flevel.lgp, etc...

If this helps, the version of the game I have is the original 1998 version.  I bought the game when it originally came out for PC and have held onto the discs all this time.  It is the US english version, and so far as I can tell I used the English version of the 1.02 patch.
 
Holy cow... I feel like an idiot...  :oops:

First, let me say that no, I don't have Norton 360 installed.

Second - I double checked, just to make sure I had the latest drivers for my graphics card installed...  Turns out I didn't.  I drivers that I referred to in previous post were either beta versions or the downright wrong ones.

I just updated my drivers to the actual newest versions... and... voila.  Works perfectly.

SORRY SORRY SORRY for wasting time!   :-D Thank you again for all of your patience and help.
 
Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to make the backgrounds look better in FF8? Character models and monsters look great, but the backgrounds in towns look the same as before.  Is there like a filter or something for these? If not, are there any mods that make the backgrounds look better?

This could be an issue with the mods you're using and not the graphics driver.
Try running the game without mods and using the graphics driver. though it looks like that is what you did. Ask for support for the mod on the mod thread
 
I just upgraded my machine's HDD and had to re-install a lot of stuff. This happened:

It might be a driver problem. I was working on ATI's 12.4 before my upgrade and now I think I installed 13.9.

EDIT:
Nevermind. A reboot or two fixed it.
