Using petesD3D v1.49----with an ATI Rage Fury 128

HELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

not showing sc, zip format
"Theres a big black spot covering the entire right side area"

What do you mean? You can't see the battle menu? Just set Offscreen darwing to 3 or more

 

[vivi dude]

I set mine to 2 and it worked.

 

[Zataki]

well for some odd reason the board isnt letting me post the picture.

But the problem is at the beginning of the game (TITle Screen)
thers like black stuff covering half right side of screen.

to post the picture it would have to be under 200 k........ I think since I haven't been able to post anything bigger than 200 k.......

 

[Asz]

Try changing your caching and/or turning off mask bit and alpha multipass options since they aren't really used in most games and will give you a little speed boost as well!

Play FF8 pc version instead!!!

 

[Zataki]

retrying picture post...

 

[Zataki]

ok, there it goes...
Thats the problem.
Using petesD3D the directx 6 one dont help either.
Currently using PetesOGL now....
it works but i wonder why D3D dont work. Use to work perfectly before.
?????????????????????????????????????

two possibilities:

1.) the screenshot is a fake

2.) your gfx card drivers suck

well, and no matter if it's 1. or 2.: I can't help you, sorry

urg, that's EXACTLY what i get on my screen
my way of remedie this is that have the FPS meter on (Delete key) constantly through out the game.

ATI Rage 128 16Meg SDRAM
newest driver available for download
Windows98SE

Ill answer both of them.

1) the picture not a fake.

2) yes my gfx card drivers suck(actually the gfx itself sucks)

Heres the weird thing; when that shows up i hit esc, on the epsxe window I hit continue, game screen pops up and *poof* its gone.
The only thing is it sometimes appears again.

Im using the exact system spec as tekwiz99 only my Ati is 32 meg
Current Ati driver is 4.13.7094 <--------beta version for DX8

Im thinking the culprit is this GL sofware im using --GLSetup- 1.0.0.121 Beta

..............Anyway, I think ill stick with petesOGL, thats working fine for me.

 

[gonemi]

I have the same problem

I have win2k and I'm having the same problem.

 

[tekwiz99]

woot! we are on the same banana boat
the graphics does suck, however... it DOES anti-aliasing when i fired up FF7 and FF8 for PC...:wink:

 

[Pete Bernert]

You all are using ATI cards? And you get the glitch only with D3D?
Well, you can try to use the D3D DX6 plugin, speed should be the
same as the DX7 one, and some gfx card drivers (like my V2 card, or
most Matrox ones) are working better with the DX6 plugin.

If the effect goes away by activating the fps menu or my closing/opening
the gpu window, chances are high that ATI screwed the D3D clipping
func, tststs.

 

[Zataki]

Well using D3D DX6 dont make much difference with the prob...and closing the window back and forth gets tireing...
all I have to say to ATI is ..............................................................................................................NviDiA geFORCE

Well, this is my experience with petes 1,49, lower the texture quality to 5 5 5 1, that worked for me, and alpha blending to none or software. dont need that much of quality.
