I'm not 100% sure on this, but try using the software renderer

[corpse]

What version are you using?

[Tru_Blu]

Ummm.... wat u mean on wat version??? and Cazador ima try ur advice now

[Zack]

To find the version, load up FF7config and on the title it should give the version number, e.g. 1.00 or 1.02

he said he has the XP Patch. now by the xp patch do you mean version 1.02 or animevamp's 1.04? go for 1.02 cause its the official release

[Tru_Blu]

i got the animevamp one

[Asdayasman13]

there's your problem

[Zack]

delete the animevamp patch and unistall FF7 completely. Then reinstall FF7 and install the 1.02 patch found at http://aaron-kelley.net/hosting/ffsf/patch.html. Then under the graphics select direct 3d renderer (you may need to force it). If that doesn't work try using the software renderer.

I noticed that the AnimeVamp patch is actually on download.com and similar sites, and it has positive ratings there...

No wonder why people download it, eh?

[Asdayasman13]

Positive?  Some people have no recognition of tat.

[Tru_Blu]

Thanks i tried ur suggestions now the game hasnt crashed anymore but wats wrong wif the animevamp patch???

[James]

It's just a compilation of the 1.02 patch released by Eidos along with the Chocobo patch. It does not thank or give credit to either parties.

And it screws around with Windows so as to make the music play better - most of the time it doesn't and affects out-of-game music performance, and it does this without asking (which is a definite no-no).

Plus, there are other accounts of it affecting other parts of the game... basically, don't download it.
