long story short, I recently put together a PII machine , which came with a Rage Pro card (specifically the Xpert98), and due to using my AWE64 in the machine, I decided to run Final Fantasy 7 (since it uses the card specifically)
however, if I select the hardware acceleration option in the config utility , the game has several issues
1) movies are very choppy
2) There is a grid like , green pattern on the screen .
3 the music stops playing the second the gameplay starts.
now, running it in software mode does solve those issues, but obviously the game can get pretty sluggish at 640X480 .
I remember hearing about the grid pattern being a problem on modern cards, but the game box mentions the Rage Pro as a supported device, so it should work, Ive also tried different drivers, the newest and some older ones which function better with other games too.
any one know a fix for this? Im thinking of trying to get a V1/V2 card for this machine at some point, but its a bit odd this issue is happening on a Rage Pro.
