Game crashes

[Fatuous Lord]

As the title says the game crashes whenever I try to launch it, same goes for the config tool. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Edit: this should also help for the config tool. try looking for the last pages. there are the easiest ways. if you still dont have access to the config tool and need to set window mode, open the config ini and edit it.

Thanks Gevatter, although I can't find any actual ini file that isn't keymap.ini or gaussianfilter.ini. Regarding the thread you linked, nothing I tried there seems to work. (We have the same issue, a godless whitescreen ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around)

the config file is named "gamesetting" and you can find it here:

C:\Users\[your user name]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XII THE ZODIAC AGE\[some numbers]

open it and change the line for "ScreenMode" to:
ScreenMode=SM_WINDOW

then you can try the screen-flip-trick:
1. rotate your screen to portait in your win os system
2. start the game in window mode (wait until you see the game)
3. flip your screen back to landscape
4. enjoy the game

that helped me and is still working.

another thing you can check:
look if your monitor or tv supports all resolutions in 60hz. if any of the resolutions dont support 60hz the game wont work.
i found that out because i have a tv which doesnt support every resolution in 60hz and a monitor which supports every resolution in 60hz.
the game works flawless with the monitor (i didnt even had to use the screen-flip-trick), but not with the tv (where i have to use the screen-flip-trick every time i start the game).
i can even use both at the same time with the monitor as the main source and then just drag the window of the game to the tv and it still works.
