Post by: Caddberry on 2003-11-28 09:42:46: I think that if its not in the faq it should be by now.. I am talking about how to post an issue with FF7 or 8 PC.. or any other computer problem.. I understand that people are new and everything, but how do they honestly expect anyone to pull an answer out of there ass.. (one that isnt filled with sarcasm) and get their game working..

If you post about a game issue include:

OS information.. maybe even service packs..
Does your game have any patches on it?
Computer Specs
Video card, and Drivers..
Is there an error message? if so what does it say?
Does it crash back to windows or freeze.. that kinda crap..

I cant think of anything else right now but there is probably something obvious i missed.. but if thats not in the faq i think it should be.. I have seen to many people say (myself included) thats not enough information to piss on.. how can we know what is going on.. ^_^

Doesn't sound like a common crash.
Title: The broken rail...
Post by: xeriouxi on 2003-12-02 11:04:11: Hi!

Is the broken rail you are talking about when you on the way to the mining town. The broken rail is the place where you fall down and down and down... and down when the rail snaps, right? :D

Post by: Rubicant on 2003-12-04 16:15:36: Compatability mode probably won't have any effect on a problem that happens at a specific spot. Pretty much the only thing it solves is pre-determined full crashes. For example, the world map is fine. But then, you go into a town. You go to another screen at the town, the game crashes, and this happens 100% of the time. Compatability mode fixes something like that. It probably won't help a non-continual crash.

But I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try. You know, just for spite in hope of proving me wrong. That sort of thing. :lol:

However, the guy hasn't even determined whether he has winxp or not..let alone released any information.

Post by: Bluetank on 2003-12-05 23:48:04: I know that problem... and that problem is...

HE GOT THE RIP VERSION OF THE GAME!!!

The only way to solve the problem:

1) Get out of the house..
2) Walk to the nearest game shop
3) Purchase the FULL GAME
4) Install it and patch all the patch you can find
5) Enjoy it! :D:D:D

And karim89, if it is a copied or downloaded or otherwise illegal version of the game, we can't help you.

My version is off the internet. Got it at the Amazon Store (http://www.amazon.com). Its the best, or Ebay could work.

Post by: Bluetank on 2003-12-09 16:28:22: oh well, then i apologize... and i'm sorry if i sound like critisizing... its just that i know he got the RIP version out of the internet... >_<"

i just borrowed the RIP version of the game, and asked him to send me the save file to test is it his comp or is it the game itself.

It still failed to proceed, as i see that it has illegal operation. So i went to megagames to find if any no-cd crack matches the one from the RIP, i found out that the people actually puts a german crack into a english game. So i think thats basically the only problem...
