Title: Final Fantasy VII Crash
Post by: Godlike on 2008-05-03 22:06:32
Like I have these random crashes... Like the time I was finding Yuffie, I crashed like at least 4 times walking in the overworld.. So I thought my game would crash in the overworld... But now I'm at the Gea's Cliff and I crashed randomly too when I was running down the slope..(where the gigas and the bomb is). I had to restart again and I lost all my exp and items because of that crash... After I reached the whirlwind maze and I got hit so I had to fight that monster... Right after I killed him, it freezes for 0.5 sec and then crashes, it didn't even show the part where they do the victory dance....

I've set the compability mode to 95, 98, NT, ME, XP, and Vista... Anyone got any other solutions?

Do you have the 1.02 patch installed?  Or perhaps some incompatible mods?  Well mods that are inompatible with each oher I mean.
If not, it may just be scratches on you're discs, as the same thing happened to my friends game, and when he got a replacement disc, it worked fine. :-)

Check the error report for mentions of winmm.dll.

There is a known problem with how FF7 handles MIDI transitions, it doesn't happen too often and i have no idea what triggers it (seems to be random).

If it is indeed winmm.dll that's crashing your FF7, you might want to try my experimental patch for it.

Hmm it sounds like your flevel folder might be the culprit(note i said might :P). I had a similiar problem where i would crash in Shinra Mansion while looking for Cloud(i have the sephiroth patch :P). So i got a new Flevel.lpg file, and the problem was fixed, although the real culprit was the TXT patch  :x.
