ok i reinstalled ff7, then installed (in this order)
-Aali's custom driver
-FF7 v1.02 patch
-Advent Avatars patch
worked fine up until there ^^.
then i ran the NPC RP patcher, and after i clicked new game, a message popped up saying: "Failed to load ACFE.aki"
then created the crash file.
and now i finally have something in the app.log so ill post it here
