Hi all,
First off - Complete noob to modding, only recently started playing around with it (when steam mods came about, along with my download of Skyrim)
So apologies in advance for my lack of general knowledge in this area. That said, I thought i'd have a go at modding my recently purchased download of the 2012 re release (cash in) of FFVII.
So I followed 'Tifa's bootleg tutorial' and have successfully installed all compatible mods, as well as bootleg. I can get the game running with no hitches what so ever, character models look great during the opening scene at the train. I can even enter the first battle with the train guard (looks incredible!)
However all goes wrong when the battle ends. the screen goes black and eventually windows informs me that the game has ceased to function.
I then tried to access the in game menu BEFORE engaging with the train guard and.. yep, same issue. So I figure it has to be related to the in game inventory menu.
I use Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium with a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 graphics card.
If anyone can help me with this i'd be most grateful!
cheers.
UPDATE: I just tried re-installing bootleg with Bootlegged (best of) selected under 'Base Model' as opposed to Squallff8's rebuilded (full) which I had used previously. This I did because of reading in another related topic of how a user named 'SoldierCloud' was able to get the game running without any crashes (he also adopted this change)
Further to that I loaded up the game in a window instead of full screen.
The game still crashed at the same place as before, but this time I was able to see a message appear which is identical to the one SoldierCloud received..;
'Oops, something very bad happened
Wrote crash.dmp to ff7 install dir
Please provide a copy of it along
with APP.log when reporting this error.
Write emergency save to save/crash.ff7?'
