FF7/Technical/Hardware rendering

Symptoms

In Final Fantasy VII Configurator I can't choose Hardware Acceleration in Renderer section. The test box on the right say's that system failed in 8-bit Paletted Textures test.

Causes

This is a very known problem. You probably have some modern graphic card, which Final Fantasy VII doesn't support, and that's why it won't let you select Hardware Acceleration.

Solution

Eidos provided a patch that changes executable version to 1.02. You can download it from links below:

• English Version
• French Version
• German Version
• Spanish Version

You also should update your graphic drivers to newest ones. Furthermore, Aali's OpenGL Driver fixes more issues on even more recent hardware. Thanks to Aaron for hosting these patches.
