Thanks, I understand how this works now.

One odd thing is that Barret's avatar didn't change initially. I had to change the file name from barre_02.png to barre_00.png for it to work.

2
Yeah, I just found a link a couple pages back. I'll listen to your advice and wait for R02, though.

I have the original release and I'm using Aali's driver. I assume I have to change the "mod_path" setting in the .cfg file? I already tried a few things and it's not working. What do I need to do exactly?

And what is this converter you speak of?

4
Download link is dead. Is there an alternative link?

5
How do I install this? From what I understand, your directions only work for those who use Reunion. I don't.

6
The internal resolution option is definitely helpful. Changing the window size option on its own caused my game to crash. Setting the internal resolution to 640 x 480 first solved the issue.

You can use PRP instead of Reunion.

You could use it although you already had Omnislash? I could swear I've tried it before and it wasn't possible (though that was on the PSX version).

Uncheck CPU 1.

If that doesn't work for you, make sure you have the latest game patch (1.2) and latest video drivers installed.

10
Did you LEARN Omnislash? It's not enough to purchase it.

To learn Omnislash, you first need to learn all the other Limit Breaks of that character. Keep that in mind.

Everything you need to get in order to unlock the special battles:
1) Ultima Weapon (not necessarily equipped, just obtained)
2) W-Summon Materia (again, not necessarily equipped)
3) Omnislash purchased AND learned (on a side note, you NEED to use the Omnislash item that you get. If you learn Omnislash through other means such as hacking or glitching, you won't be able to fight in the special battles even if you purchased Omnislash, because it becomes unusable. Basically, your save file is ****ed for life if this happens to you)

You should consider getting a new video card. It's hard to find a decent driver for these old graphics cards nowadays.

12
Nevermind.

13
There are a few things that could be causing your first problem. First, did you actually defeat Ultimate WEAPON? Did he drop Cloud's Ultima Weapon? Because you need to fight that bastard multiple times before he's dead.

Second, just keep fighting battles and entering/exiting towns and he should eventually appear. I've heard that entering/exiting the Ancient Forest in particular should make him appear.

Thought so. It DID look suspicious.

EDIT: I got this fixed. Apparently, the crash isn't completely random; it's somehow associated with alt-tabbing out of the game. For some reason, the game sometimes crashes when the battle swirl animation tries to start after an alt-tab. So, if you simply don't alt-tab, you won't encounter the stupidity that's this crash. Don't ask me how is any of this connected, but I've done some testing and it sounds believable.

More importantly, this isn't how I fixed my issue at all. Not alt-tabbing is just too inconvenient for me when I'm trying to follow a walkthrough for a perfect save file. I had to look for a real solution, and I think I succeeded. I installed Dzuigo's MGP (Mini-game patch), and the game hasn't crashed since then.

For anyone interested, the MGP and the multi-patcher needed for applying the patch both can be found here:

Just follow the instructions and you're set.

Nope. Still crashing like crazy.  :|

I've found an XP 1.4 patch that will supposedly fix the crashes but I don't feel good about it. Should I give it a shot?

I've also tried something called the "Battle-Swirl Fix" but it didn't make a difference at all.

I did that and PRP worked.

00.LGP (the bigger file) is char.LGP and 01.LGP (the smaller one) is world_us.LGP

With all that done, I just need to see if I still have problems with the random battle crashes.

Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it.

Problem is that there's nothing new in FF7Config.exe

I manually edited ff7_opengl.cfg and it worked, though.

Anyway, PRP doesn't seem to work for me. I hear the sound that comes with the Eidos logo intro, but no graphics (black screen). The game then just freezes and I have to restart my computer. Maybe I have an old version? Can someone link me to the newest?

I got all of these programs from some site after a Google search. The Custom Graphics Driver is the only exception (I got it from here).

I'll do a fresh install, patch my game to 1.02, then patch it with the Custom Graphics Driver and PRP. Maybe this will help.

And I already did some searching, but didn't find anything. I'll do a bit more and see what I can find.

EDIT: How does the driver make Saint's HD patch obsolete? The resolution doesn't seem to be changed to me.

You probably already fixed this, but if not, open the config exe make sure that you have Hardware Rendering enabled. Also tick the NVIDIA and TNT boxes. Even if you did this before, just take a look again. My config reset itself somehow at one time, maybe the same thing happened to you.

I had this exact same problem and fixed it by doing the above.

Troubleshooting / FF7 crashing at random encounters
« on: 2009-06-21 13:13:56 »
The game will sometimes crash when I encounter a random battle. It seems to be random; it'll sometime take one battle for the game to crash and sometimes 20.

Here are the patches/mods I installed:
Official Patch 1.02
Custom Graphics Driver v0.6.9b

Saint's High Res Patch v0.99
The Reunion Patch
Borde's NPC mod v0.2

I can't even play the game without the bolded ones. The other patches are unrelated to the problem because I had it before applying them.

My specs:
Windows XP Professional SP3
3GB of RAM
8800GTS 512MB (Latest driver installed)
Intel Core Quad [email protected]

Any idea how the hell do I fix this?
