Troubleshooting / Re: After 30 minutes Freeze/ Gc drivers

« on: 2012-05-28 14:53:14 »

Hi BAN___KAI

Some mods actually need more graphics power than others, several of these mods together just need a lot of graphics power.
But your card can do that, only after 30 minutes the game runs slower. a mystery...
Maybe you should always install 5 MODs at once to test, in which MOD is critical?

Also i have noticed that everytime i run the game bootleg shows this error Invalid Switch Affinity in that dos window ,, dont know if thats important

I think that means that you wanted to istall two mutually incompatible mods. But you should read this thread once.

Hi pedro.1234

The MOD's are not all the fault-free and sometimes incompatible with each other.
PitBrat has done with his "bootleg FF7 mod installer and configurator" its best to this chaos to some extent become master.
If you have the English version try it once.

It seems in fact to be an ATI Radeon X300 and therefore is the proper driver Catalyst 10.2
The card is not so old and should work well with FF7 and the MOD's.

I've run out of ideas ...

Hi pedro.1234

That should not be a "solution", but rather a way to encircle the error.
You will now use again the old models instead of the new.

How big is your changed char.lgp and what date has it?
Can you remember which models you have installed?

Hi BAN___KAI

My graphic card is Ati radeon X300-X550/X1050 ,, allways hated these Ati Cards cause they are so complicated to find

The ATI Radeon X-series were produced between 2004 and 2005.

Sorry but i dont have those options , the graphic card is really really old ...

I think you do not have ATI Radeon X-series, more of a Rage 128, Rage 128 Pro or Xpert 99 (or similarly, from 1999).
It is extremely important to find out which card is right!
Since GPU-Z would not work everest home my next recommendation (sorry for the German side).
If you have identified the graphics card carefully, you can download from AMD the right driver.
Do not use the automatic installation that has not ever worked.
Uninstall the current graphics card driver first and then install the correct one.
If you are unsure of which graphics card in your PC, you make a screenshot of Everest Home, while the details of the graphics card shows up, and put the picture here.

Greetings Kompass63

Edit:
You can also read that. But if your card has been built before 2004, your PC does not recognize them properly.

Hello pedro.1234,

It is possible that your char.lgp is broken. Rename the one you have on your hard disk and copy the originals from the installation CD.
Try to play now this part of the game. If all goes well my guess was correct.
Then there remains the question of which MOD has caused that.

Hi BAN___KAI

The post is so long because I included a few pictures 
I slowly running out of ideas...

Open the Catalyst Control Center and look for an entry "Overdrive" or similar.


Please do not change anything! Only the temperature is interesting.
Leave the window open and start FF7. You can switch between by pressing ALT + TAB
If the graphics card has a fan you should be able to hear that it is faster
If the game is slow, check the temperature.
They should not be above 75 °Celsius

Hi BAN___KAI

This is bad. I think something is wrong with your PC.
Please make sure that all device drivers are available, much like me.



You are using Windows XP?
Do you have Windows XP Service Pack 3 installed?


Did you ". NET Framework 2.0" installed? (maybe needed for Catalyst Control Center)
Do you have any further updates from Microsoft installed?
Do you have DirectX 9.0c installed?

A lot of questions, hopefully one of them helps to find the error.
Many greetings Kompass63

Hi duarian

Everything is white but the cutout on the text. For the heck of it I click 'start' Opening FMV is completely white, hear sound fine. When it gets too the train, I can see NPC's.

Look here and download the files for "Everything is made of light fix" and copy these files in the "[gamedir]\shaders\nolight" folder.

Hi SeraphimBahamut

Try to start the "FF7Config.exe" with admin rights. Select "Graphic", "sound" and "MIDI" and make the tests. That should hopefully fix some registry keys.

Hi duarian

The videos play sound but I get no picture.

It looks as if Aali's driver does not work.
Your app.log is possibly an outdated, look in the folder of FF7Music whether there is a newer app.log.
The first line it should be "INFO: OpenGL driver version 0.7.11b FF7/FF8". If not, Aali's driver does not work.

If you are using Windows XP you can install this WDM drivers manually.
I do not know if this is important for FF7, but maybe it helps.

Hi Covarr

You're right, that codec pack is not necessary, but the message "INFO: slow output format from video codec indeo5, 6" means that, despite Aalis driver uses this old codec.
And the message "ERROR: GL_INVALID_OPERATION" is an OpenGL error, or not?
And the message "INFO: Auto-detected version: FF7 1.02 US English" indicates, that he has install the 1.02 Patch.

Hi duarian

Sorry, I got you confused with someone  .

But "ERROR: GL_INVALID_OPERATION" seems to be an OpenGL issue...

Maybe try an older driver?

Hi Travis, hi duarian

FF7 creates the file "ff7input.cfg" when you selects in the game menu "config".


@ duarian,
I think you've installed the wrong graphics card driver. Search on the Intel side of the right and install it.
This should be the error "ERROR: GL_INVALID_OPERATION" Remove.
In addition, I recommend that you install the  K-Lite Mega Codec Pack V7.0.0.
The old version still has the option RGB24 and RGB16 (supported output colorspaces), newer versions have this  option anymore.
The message "INFO: slow output format from video codec indeo5, 6" should not occur anymore.


@ Travis and duarian,
Look at the properties of the files "ff7.exe", "ff7Music.exe" and "ff7start.exe" (or similar, Covarrs one).
In the section "Compatibility" all three files should have the same hook.
I do not need a hook there.
If the music still does not work, post the file "ff7Music.log" here.
