I have read much of the threads here yet I haven't seen my question mentioned. Will FF7 work on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS? I have installed all the patches yet it hangs when starting.

runs fine on mine, and i run windows 7 64-bit

Well I'm at a loss then. I'll just have to wait till I buy a PS3 and get FF& from the online store.

What's "all the patches"? I've never encountered an un-fixable problem when it comes to running ff7.

kona0197 · « **Reply #4 on:** 2010-04-21 03:06:25 »

I installed the two patches this site says to install yet every time I try the game fails to start.

kona0197 · « **Reply #6 on:** 2010-04-21 03:14:32 »

And I followed the direction to the T for installation.

sl1982 · « **Reply #7 on:** 2010-04-21 03:17:59 »

Did you run the ff7 config and select custom driver?

kona0197 · « **Reply #8 on:** 2010-04-21 03:18:42 »

Yes I did.

sl1982 · « **Reply #9 on:** 2010-04-21 03:20:49 »

Good. Ok did you open the config file and set your resolution? And have you tried running as administrator?

kona0197 · « **Reply #10 on:** 2010-04-21 03:22:40 »

I might have missed opening the config file. Where do I do that? Yes I have tried running as Admin.

sl1982 · « **Reply #11 on:** 2010-04-21 03:26:36 »

ff7_opengl.cfg in your ff7 folder

kona0197 · « **Reply #12 on:** 2010-04-21 03:39:45 »

With what? Windows says it can't open that file. Notepad?

kona0197 · « **Reply #14 on:** 2010-04-21 03:46:26 »

OK I have it opened. What is it I need to change?

Thank you for helping by the way.

sl1982 · « **Reply #15 on:** 2010-04-21 03:48:44 »

No problem.

First set your resolution to whatever you prefer. Save the file and then give ff7 a go

kona0197 · « **Reply #16 on:** 2010-04-21 03:50:13 »

Where do I set it? All I see is a bunch of stuff precluded with # - No mention of resolution numbers anywhere.

sl1982 · « **Reply #17 on:** 2010-04-21 03:51:09 »

window_size_x
window_size_y

kona0197 · « **Reply #18 on:** 2010-04-21 03:53:20 »

I entered 800 and 600. FF7 still will not work.

sl1982 · « **Reply #19 on:** 2010-04-21 03:59:43 »

Open app.log and paste its contents here so i can see what it is doing.

Reinstall FF7 and start over. for some reason the input config file is missing

kona0197 · « **Reply #22 on:** 2010-04-21 05:45:20 »

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and applied the patches. The game will show the Eidos stuff then freeze. Here is the log:

Download this save game:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AHSPXWSD

Put it into your save folder
Duplicate it and rename the files from save00 to save09

That should fix it

kona0197 · « **Reply #24 on:** 2010-04-21 06:10:24 »

Still not working. The log file still says this:
