Error at Mt Nibel Enemy Encounter

[chasesummers]

My game is somehow crashing when I get an encounter in Mt Nibel. The battle song plays but the screen remains black. On my second try the battle encounter worked but on the next encounter it crashed/hanged again. Any reason why this is happening?
I'm using the ff7.bc
Below is the APP.log (sorry I couldn't find a way to attach the file)

Postprocessing can be sketchy and unstable... have you tried a different shader, or disabling entirely?

[00008131] [BATTLE] Scene# 581

Is it always this same scene that causes a crash?

[chasesummers]

How can I try a different shader? I'm currently using ''shaders/SmartBloomAdvanced.post''
I'm currently replaying the whole game but with the mod, the only place I had an error is at Mt Nibel. Sometimes an encounter works and other times it just simply crashes/hangs. I'm not entirely sure about other place yet.
PS
Thanks for the reply

[LordUrQuan]

How can I try a different shader?

In the configuration screen's graphics tab, there's a check-box for post-processing, and a drop-down to select which one.

[chasesummers]

I see the post-processing window and check-box but I don't have a drop-down menu. I'm using 7th Heaven 1.52.
From manually going to the shaders file, I'm assuming I should try all '' .post '' files like:
shaders/SmartBloomAdvanced.post orshaders/Bloom2Dark.post correct?

[LordUrQuan]

I'm using 7th Heaven 1.52.

Update to 1.56rc6.  Link is in the tutorial sticky

[chasesummers]

Thanks so much for your help!

[chasesummers]

I downloaded  the 1.56rc6 and I'm getting the Oops thing.
I tried a different shader, and I have also tried disabling it. Now even in a new game, so basically it's not just Mt Nibel!
The game worked perfectly fine. The only new mods I put on are the up-scaled mods.

Post your Profile Details so we know what mods are activated during the crash.
