Final Fantasy 7 Fighting and menu crash in the beginning

[Net Sphere Engineer]

yeah I used that, but maybe I did something wrong, because you saw something strange

[dziugo]

Would you mind sending me your ff7.exe (the one after applying my mod - which crashes at the startup) ?

[Net Sphere Engineer]

Here it is:

I hope it's ok to host in rapidshare I do not know anything better

Before send it to you I uninstalled and installed again and tried to make sure to not do anything wrong, I apllied the 1.02 US patch, deleted all the other patches and only apllied the one you send, something strange happened I was able to play futher, but in the second battle the game freezes again I guess you made some progress!!!!!

here I'm happy because the menu opened and I'm trying to cofigure the controls like the original psx version hehehe:

Good to hear that. I suspected, that your ff7.exe got mispatched. Now you're just getting the regular battle swirl crash. Install the most recent MGP (link in one of my previous messages in this thread) and you're good to go.

Now I wonder what might cause the "menu crash", since I only changed the game behaviour when it encounters this error...

[Net Sphere Engineer]

Thanks a lot man for all your hard work, I hate to bring bad news for me of course  but the game still crash, the menu crash I was talking about is perfect now!!!! with this other patch you updated in the first page I was able to go even further, but in one of the battles the game crashed, I tried again and the game crashed in the first battle again

I did a lot of combinations hehehe and no progress, like I tried to apply only the MGP with integrated BattleSwirlFix patch, the MGP with integrated BattleSwirlFix together with CrashMyApp, the CrashMyApp with the older YAMP and nothing

[dziugo]

It's supposed to be MGP with integrated BattleSwirlFix and CrashMyApp together. Apply both, check if it worked (like - enter the menu ) and post the address of the next error.

I am also having trouble with FFVII crashing in the first battle and menu. I am patched up to version 1.02 i think. And i am using compatibility mode set to 95.

Heres the error I get when it crashes from the battle.

When exactly did the first one happen?

[Net Sphere Engineer]

sorry about my bad english but I already aplied both of then and like I said the menu now is opening fine, the problem is only with battles that after go further in the game one time, when I try another time the crashes happens in the first battle like before, here is the erros after the battle crash:

samph how can you save the erros? can you please say it to me? I can only get screen shots and it's a pain!!!!!

[dziugo]

Once it's directly connected with battle screen, I'm off. It's too complex for me to "debug" if I don't have FF7 installed.

[Net Sphere Engineer]

It's ok you already did a lot!!!!!! Well no luck for me then  Do you think any one will ever got interested in fix my problem? or I just give up and end this?

[Danieel]

This is because you have corrupted Battle.lpg file. It is very common on the pirated versions of Final Fantasy 7 but if you have the original Final Fantasy 7 and the Install cd somewhere, just open the Final Fantasy director from the cd, and copy Battle.lpg from there. Replace it with the Battle.lpg in your computer and it should work fine. But if you have pirated version of the game.. Then.. well Tough luck :/..

I experience a crash just after entering the first time at Tifa's /th Heaven, after I press the button to get down with the flipper game, it says that ff7 encoutered an error. is it a movie error?
