King's Field (Japan) [En by John Osborne v1.0] can't see text

[treos]

like the title says, the game works fine save for the fact that when you walk up to and interact with anything such as a sign or NPC the text box comes up blank.

i'm still using Pete's DX6 D3D driver 1.77 as i usually do and i don't think this is related to the frame buffer textures setting as it was in mega man legends 2 though i could be mistaken as i haven't messed with this game much.

also, maybe its nothing but doesn't it seem odd the this (i'm assuming prepatched) version of the game http://www.emuparadise.me/Sony_Plays..._v1.0%5D/53823 is 3.3MB in size whereas the original copy here at EP is 5.3MB? seems a little odd to me.

off topic for a sec but i wonder if that setting might be a solution for black screens in xenogears. i haven't downloaded and checked that out so i'm not sure. i'll check into that some time later.

Just doing some quick test here using the link you posted (yes, it is a prepatched iso, extracted and unecm it, the size is around 29MB-ish).

Pete's DX6 D3D driver 1.77, just like you have mentioned, the text does not appear even if changing to different settings, same with Pete's D3D driver 1.77.

But, switching to Peops Soft Driver 1.18 (and Pete's OGL2 driver 2.9) makes the text to appear. Note: tested this at start of the game, on dungeon like area where there are gravestone and people died next to it.

If there are no workaround for your current plugin, then you might as well switch to another plugins.

hm, well ok then, whatever works. i'll try that plugin then and if it works for me i'll use that for that game.

edit: Peops Soft Driver 1.18, you are a strange video plugin. o.O on "fast" settings the frame rate is jerky and still wouldn't show the text yet on "nice" settings it works perfectly with no issues at all and it does show the text properly. i would've thought the fast settings would make it run smoother as opposed to the nice settings but it did the opposite. well anyway, its working now so ty
