I had been looking for a way to bypass the vids, but didn't think it was possible. I was afraid renaming the vids would cause a crash as the engine would look for them but not find them.
I'll try it for sure.
I can confirm DrBeasts report, as the couple of times I did get the game running with GPU in the background, my frame rates got hammered.
it's nice that we did indeed find a fix, but if it causes too many other hassles, I might just do without the sun glare for now.
it's a real shame that between UBI and ATI, this couldn't get sorted out in the several patches and add-on we've had, not to mention several ATI driver versions since SH4s release.
Every set of ATI driver release notes, I always look for "resolved SH4 sunglare issue", but it's never there.
