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. Thanks to Aaron for hosting these patches.
