Final Fantasy IV : The complete collection

I always use the latest revisions but as to device I use PC

This game runs well on my laptop, but there are some graphical issues I did experience. These are my issues (and probably the temp solution I found in the previous pages ):

1. Missing text from the conversation or in-game menu: (SOLVED)

   This can be fixed by turning the Buffered Rendering off. This what exactly happens on my machine when the Buffered Rendering is turned off:

2. Suspicious tremendous lighting effect (due to bezier/spline implementation -- that's what I found on previous pages). This is what it looks:

   The image above was taken when I used Fira. I tried changing the settings here and there, and still no luck
   
   
3. Overlapping text in battle screen (this is simply the most annoying one ). This is what it looks:

   As you can see above, everything is overlapping in the bottom battle screen. The cursor is still be able to move. It is simply hard to see your magic and/or items.
   
   Again, I tried changing everything with no luck resulted
   

As I read from previous pages, everyone is having the first and the second problem.

The first one seems, currently and apparently, have no solution for AMD GPU. The second one is still in development investigation. But how about the third one, which is the overlapping text? Is everyone experiencing the same problem as I am?

This is the quick spec of my laptop:
OS: WIndows 7 x64
PPSSPP: v0.8.1
CPU: Intel i5 2520M
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000 (GT2+)

I, too, have a problem with overlapping text. Otherwise it runs fine.

[solarmystic]

Huh, so Intel Integrated cards from the HD 3000/4000 series get working text with Buffered rendering OFF in this game too lol.

Sigh, this is one of those games that AMD card owners have got no luck with lol.

Well its not perfect with any vga. (for example i want to see perfectly working spell effects, they are looking awesome on psp, they should be awesome on pc in 1080p....still waiting for someone to implement spline\bezier)

I also had the same problem AMD missing text, but I managed to solve it using a virtual machine

That is brilliant! I don't have an issue since I use an integrated HD card. However I would recommend you to put a tutorial together for other folks having that text issue while using AMD cards. It may be the temp solution till the emulator is more compatible.

I would do a tutorial or help as much as I can, but I have poor domain of English

It's all good. Maybe post it anyway and someone can use a translator like google or bing to figure it out.

Any update on android device? The last time i try the game it still have a text issue.
Im using samsung galaxy tab. 7.0gt6200

[hotsuma]

I don't have the text issue on nexus 7.

[theonyxphoenix]

updated from v0.8.1-1161-ge954bd-1 to

v.0.8.1-1585-g47ac6c0 breaks the in battle graphics a bit. Everything disappears when you turn off buffered rendering and turn on frame skip. When you turn it on...the sprites appear and the portraits but all of the menu text is gone.

Frameskip and buffered off allow everything to appear but the text still overlaps.

Thanks, it is really helpful. Now I can enjoy this game.

This is barely playable on android (nexus 7). There are lines criss-crossing the screen, the audio crackles and pops, there are green outlines on sprites, overlapping text in combat and the text is blurry.

No mix of settings seems to resolve these issues.

Update: As of version 9.1 it is now unplayable as nothing is rendered when in combat.

I've been playing FF4 on PPSSPP, and I've been able to go in-game. In fact, I've been playing the after years for quite some time, and even reached the final dungeon. You just need to tweak the settings, and you should see something going on. If you're using the most recent version, I recommend turning the rendering mode to Non-buffered rendering, and enable vertex cache(disable everything else in the "features" category). Then, in the system category, enable fast memory and dynarec if it isn't already. These are the settings I changed, and the game was playable. Needless to say, there are still some graphical errors in battle, using summon, white/black magic, etc. but that didn't bother me too much.

Oh, and by the way, I played this on my outdated galaxy S2, so it should work better on more recent devices, although I have no idea how that works.

Hope this helped
