Troubleshooting / I hate to ask... crashing problem. Help please?

« on: 2005-09-22 17:24:56 »

That's odd, Gypt got me through the post-Rockettown crash as well... Oh well.

I suspected it was you, dziugo, but was too lazy to check. Anyway, thanks for a very useful program ^_^

I'll try compatibility mode, that's one thing I haven't tried yet, thanks for the suggestion!

Is this at all a common problem? It seems weird that it's only every once in a while (though it seems far more frequently now).

Come to think of it, it *might* have started since using the hi-res mod, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the help!

As frequent as this must be on this forum...

FF7 is crashing on my PC.

Everything runs normally, except that about 1 in ever 8 battles crashes just before the screen goes swirld (I get a must-close error, not just a hang-up).

I have the basic install and the v1.02 patch. I'm running in Nvidia mode w/ TNT (not RIVA, gives me those blocks in-game, even w/o FSAA)

Pentium D 2.8gHz (OCed to 3.22gHz)
1gb Corsair RAM
MSI Geforce 6600GT
Windows XP
Latest Drivers (as far as I'm aware)

At the moment I have hi-res mod and hi-res cloud, and the patch that lets you save anywhere (because I have to save frequently cuz it crashes so often) on at the moment, but I've played the game without them, and it still crashes.

Gypt doesn't seem to help (though it did get me past a point previously - thanks to whoever made it ^_^).

Any suggestions?

Well, some modder's definition of "fixed" is different than others. Many people would consider stability w/ AA "fixed", even if the text was screwed up, so I was just checking.

This is slightly OT for this thread, but it seems to be the closest I can find... *winces pre-emptively*.

I'm patching using LGPTools with the Cloudquality patch and it just kinda sits at 1/5th install. I heard something about this just taking a long time, but should it take this long? I've got a 2.8 Pentium D (dual-core ^_^), so I'm not short on CPU brute strength. (It's Overclocked to 3.3gHz too, I love this CPU ^_^.)

Just a note, you MUST have the '\' at the end of the location name for where you put the videos.

Ah, hehe. You got me on that one ^_^. I didn't think that in-between resolutions, as such, might not be available. Though I checked and the res is fully available.

EDIT: Well, I tried the mod with my original copy of FF7 (from the CDs) and it works great. So sorry to bother everyone, I shouldn't have assumed that it wasn't the fault of the Ultima Edition. Much thanks!

Couple Qs though, is FF7 in 32bit color default now? And if I apply AA or FSAA, will I still get text errors in menus/dialogue like I usually do?

Thanks, but I have a 17IN monitor with max res of 1280x1024, so I don't think that's the problem. But I'll try a fresh install from the actual CDs (if they aren't too scratched) and try and mod that.

To answer your question, Ultima, from my understanding, is simply FF7 but premodded for XP. I'm not sure what mods they used (likely the basic FF7XP mod) and it is pre-updated to v1.02. But it is, of course, illegal to obtain unless you own the original copy of Final Fantasy 7 for PC.

Well, you're probably right, EmperorSteele... Ultima is intended to be altered for XP. Doesn't seem to be anything I can do.

As for legality, Ultima is simply the game, modified with extras. It would be no different if I installed the game from my cds, modified it myself and then downloaded some extras. It's still the same game content, it's just been modified. But I understand it's not a clear line, for sure.

Perhaps I'll see if a friend of mine still has his original CDs and see what I can do with them.

Still... if anyone has a suggestion...?

I understand the... delicacy of the situation. In one last attempt, I've modified my posts. Now am I any different than any given person coming here and asking for help?

I'll understand if I still can't be helped, but I'm not sure how I'm different from someone else coming here pretending that they have a legal copy, but still asking questions.

As far as legality in my case, anyone's allowed a digital backup of software they own, so I have a backup because my copy is scratched. I still own the license to a copy of the game.

Hey all! Just joined up to partake in these amazing mods!

Assuming I don't mod the game at all after install, I can patch it fine with this handy little tool, but when I start the game the screen just flickers a big black screen which just doesn't quite reach the bottom of the screen (because of the irregular res of the game). I'm running a 6600GT card w/ no AA or FSAA. Any suggestions? Should I have the XP patch applied or not?

Thanks so much, sorry if this has come up before!
