ok, So after reading everything about the OGL2 config for this game Ive gotten much further then I would of without reading,but I noticed there was no clear out answer as to what config is the absolute best to date so I figured I might ask if this has been established and what is the config??

The config I have runs it pretty well but I still get nasty looking transition from world map to battle scenes,and the flicker by the ATB meter.I havent played the game in some time but I cant help to think when I did, it looked better in the older version of epsxe or an older version of the OGL plugin.
Anyways if anyone can help with this and maybe give me the best and the final results of the config it would be appreciated thanx.Current config is as follow.

compatibility is wrong.

 

[cloudstrife3733]

compatibility is wrong.

what's it supposed to be 1-2-2?

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

Yes, the gamefixes indicate it right.

enable gamefix 0x1 as well, it speeds up the battleswirl slightly.

yeah,true but only reason I had it set to 1-3-1 is because I noticed in the sticky someone used 1-3-1 setting and it was working well.But ok Ill try it out as far as everything else its all set right?

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

1-3-1 doesn't do anything but introduce a slowdown, 1-3-0 just makes the GF Eden summon motion blur work, at the expensive of killing the full battle swirl... though it goes fast as a compromise...

since I changed it to 1-2-2 that flickering bar turned into a black flickering bar on the ATB meter.So whats causing this now??

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

enable tex win pixel shader.

 

[cloudstrife3733]

enable tex win pixel shader.

I tried this and the same thing happens,anymore suggestions??

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

your using 32bpp right? not 16bpp?

yes Its set to 32.

 

[RedLion]

Try with this config.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

Kanes config is wrong, infact it goes against the config defined by the gamefix.

well I guess you can say its semi-wrong it helped with the ATB meter thats perfect now but I get major slow downs at the begining of battle scenes and the infamous rainbow color.Im having a feeling Im going to have to live with one or the other right?

make sure you have Catalyst 9.3.1 installed.
then use this

I tried this and made sure I had catalyst drivers 9.3.1 Since I changed it back from kanes settings it fixed the battle swirl but still have the ATB meter Black flickering bar.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

it has to be something to do with the ATI drivers >.<

using 9.8 on the 3200 series in the laptop and theres no black square, nor has there ever been on any of my nv boards.

you aren't loading a state are you?... not that it should matter of course...

also, are you forcing AA or AF at all in the CCC?

Nah,I dont use save states I use the regular in game saving though,and as far as AA and AF no as well on that too, I dont run ccc to often.

Whats weird is if I do use kanes settings they fix the problem with the flickering box well,but it causes the problem of the battle swirl major drop in fps and rainbow color.I was thinking though what if I rolled back my catalyst drivers?

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

yeah , it has to be related to the texture issues in 9.3

Ok, if someone can provide me the driver inf from 9.3.1, and the one from 9.8 i can hack support into the driver for older cards.
Though the driver will have to be manually installed, since the installer won't force a non WHQL driver over a whql driver.

I can try how would I go about obtaining the info??
