Hi all, first post and all that. Playing this game on my Acer Aspire One, which is a total piece of crap netbook, so I wasn't expecting it to actually work. But it did! That is, until Chapter 8; suddenly, as soon as I leave the base (you may recall that this is the first level with a base; poor Greil), the level is just a black screen. If I press Start, the map menu opens up like usual, and if I press Y, the character stats come up like usual, but as soon as I close the windows, back to black.
I tried on the 4.0 version first (x86), and after trying everything to fix it, I went back to 3.5, having seen some folks said it worked for them. Sadly the save was lost, so I replayed up to Chapter 8, and lo and behold, the exact same issue.
Again, my computer is a $200 netbook, so if that alone is the issue, I wouldn't be too surprised. But considering how well this game worked until Chapter 8, I gotta hope it's something I can fix; if there's one game that this hunk of junk can handle (running at a sexy 16 FPS!) it would be a turn-based one. Any advice would be appreciated.
