Title: Can't get the game working on Steam or GOG
Post by: sodanugs on August 29, 2023, 10:29:56 PM
Hello all. I adore both these titles (FF and FFV3R) and used to play them a lot as a kid. I bought the Steam version again maybe 10 years ago and ran it back then, but haven't been able to get it working in the past few years. I decided to finally get the GOG version, but am encountering the exact same issues. I've updated drivers, tried messing with compatibility settings, attempted the v1.3 patch, but no luck. I keep getting the "alert init renderer" error, which seems common. I've scoured everywhere and am trying to find help. I'm on Windows 11. Any help you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated!

Did you try running it in windowed mode? https://steamcommunity.com/app/8880/discussions/0/1621724915813889293/ You can try putting at the end of the target -w of the shortcut. Maybe this helps.
