Hi all,
Great thread. All the info here helped me get really far! But I too am suffering from the missing text problem.
My computer:
- Mid 2011 Mac Mini running Windows 7
- 2.7ghz Intel core i7
- 8gb 1333mhz DDR3 ram
- ATI Radeon HD 6630m 256mb onboard RAM
Here's what I tried first:
- Enable dynamic shader generation (recommended for amd/ati)
That crashed the game, so I unchecked that.
I found that these are required to get anything to display at all:
- Enable the shader implementation for the "color mask"
- Disable optimized VertixInfo reading
With that config I get further, but I still have the following problems:
- The intro movie plays, but the sound is skippy at times toward the middle starting at the airship scene until the end
- I can go in-game, but only at 30ps and everything is distorted
I then added the following option:
- Enable decoding of indexed textures (using CLUT) in shader
This did not improve the movies, but it did fix the in-game stuff. Performance shot up to 60fps and the visual glitches disappeared. However, I can't see any of the dialog.
I also tried turning off all options and going with pure software rendering (the last option). This produced a perfect rendering complete with text, but performance slowed back down to 30-40 frames. Too slow.
Anyone have any suggestions for getting a computer with specs like mine working? So close yet so far!
