Issues fixed
Game runs at double speed
|
Disable VSync[4]
|
|
This issue (unrelated to the F1-F3 keys, which adjust the speed of the game and are working as intended) can be caused by having a high refresh rate monitor. Disable Vsync in game. If the game crashes when disabling Vsync, go to Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XII THE ZODIAC AGE\<number>\GameSetting.ini and change VSync=On to VSync=Off
|
|
Press F1
|
|
The game has an option to run at different speeds by pressing the F1-F3 keys. Press F1 to return to default speed.
|
Crash on launch with "A fatal error has occured" (Windows 10)
- There are many potential issues causing this error, this only fixes one of them.
|
Disable high entropy bottom-up ASLR
|
- Open Windows Defender and navigate to: App & Browser Control > Exploit Protection Settings > Program Settings
- Click the + button and select "Add by program name". Enter
FFXII_TZA.exe
- Scroll down to "randomize memory allocations (bottom-up ASLR)" and enable the "override system settings" option. Keep it switched
on but make sure that the "Don't use high entropy" option is enabled.
- Now the game should launch without this error.
