FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE
Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental
Audio:Crackling
When some heavy thing is being done in the game, audio starts popping so much. Sometimes audio stay permanently popping, needing to close game and replug HDMI device.
Performance:Significant Performance Problems
Some FMV cutscenes runs in very low FPS (stutter so much).
Game is very playable, but in Windows we don't randomly stutter in game movies/FMVs. The issue is much more anoying when the movie play in a 3D object (like a TV or hologram). As I told, sometimes movies/FMV just play normally, being difficult to test solutions.
I recommend play on Windows to get immersion, and when beat the game, play on Linux to try to do 100%.
Issues even on Windows:
- Ugly and buggy DSR working (and game don't give you a cleary option to disable it): I recommend use FFVIIHook mod (the default settings in zip file already remove DSR).
- Game start to being slower depeding how long you're playing. If you have a < 6 GB VRAM, you should play in lower settings even if you want to pull it to high settings 1080p 30 FPS, because game will be slower because bad optimization. I play in lower 1080p 60 FPS and game takes very long time to be very slow and requiring restart (like 1 or 2 hours).
