Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection - ULUS10560

[Hykem]

I can get the text working OK in the main menu and in-game menus but still no luck with the speech boxes when a character talks or when I open a treasure chest. I am also having issues with the battle menus as they just disappear completely and when an enemy is hit, the damage taken is not present. Also the characters move more slowly on the overworld

I am using build 2287 and have been following the advice from everyone here which has helped a lot so thank you guys.

Attached are some screenshots of the successes and problems I am having:
Pic 1-text in in-game menus (success)
Pic 2-text in battle menus (problem)
Pic 3-speech boxes (problem) (ignore the white boxes around the characters)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The screenshots come from the Interlude mode

Use r2186, might fix the problem. Yet, even when I do use r2186, I still get a problem with damage taken and recieved appearing in about only half of the battles. Is this a commen problem? It happens more frequantly when on the world map as well. It's quite irritating.

Tried r2186 with the same settings and now the game won't load! . It looks like I'll just have to make do with the 2287 build for now until a new build is released which erases these problems.

Thanks everyone for testing this out. All the referenced issues are indeed related to the stencil test.
I'm already working on a shader based fix to replace the previous workaround.

Hope you can get it fixed soon. Please can you fix the issues with the battle screens, the invisible text and the slow overworld? Thank you for being part of this awesome community making emulators like this.

When Start, I get 59-61 fps. As soon as I select new game to start it drops and stays at 5 fps.

Hmm oddly enough it works fine for me as I have posted a few pages back. I would bother to try it out more but too busy playing Deus Ex....
(not problems with invisible text, slow overworld). Slow down during battles when there's a lot going on (some spells).

To be fair my computer is:

2500k @ 4.2
570GTX
8GB ram

Please share which version are you using and what are your settings?

I can't get the fps to go any higher than 5 once I select new game

I don't think you will be able to play this game with intergrated graphics. I tried to play the game using my intergrated graphics on my Laptop and it was really slow then I tried to play the game with my dedicated graphics card and it played fine. Maybe in the future when there is more support for Stencil Test but for now I don't think so.

Hopefully they can make a update that will work

So based on all the posts in this thread 2187 is the version to use provided you have your gforce? The video settings for 2816 should be 2,4,8,11?
I cant get anything at all, on any versions. I think I am running the wrong version of the game, because while this forum states ULUS10560 I have NPJH50414, which must be the Japanese one. I can't find the ULUS version anywhere, can someone share a link? And please confirm the version and settings your using.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
