falkTX: Yeah it did say it was caused by ntdll.dll :/
and yeah I get everything the same as you mentioned.. crash on menu and battle.
and also a crash when leaving the train cabin. I bet you crash there aswell.
strange thing though.. only crashes on (Wine as previously reported..) and XP.. not on Win7..
Aali did you test it on which Operating System?
Also KaOSoFt. As I stated myself I can't play it on Win7 either for the same reason
and thats why I would love to play VIII on XP atleast
And what to improve?
Well I noticed slight difference when a "battle swirl" event occurs. Without the driver there is more "light" during the effect
and when using the driver its not as cool looking since there is no light effect in it. This ofc is only for VIII.
Anyways.. still waiting for your response about fixing this Aali.
EDIT: KaOSoFt just noticed your APP.LOG doesn't even try to load the driver. I'm going to see if I manage to get it to work under Win7. I get initializing sound.. all the time, which is the reason why it crashes. If that APP.LOG is when you use compatibility mode, did you use run as adminstrator? Also if I recall correctly, one of the older driver releases worked just fine before.
EDIT 2: Ok KaOSoFt, try to open FF7Config.exe and reinstall the opengl driver via ff7_opengl.reg. Make sure you have your audio device selected inside the FF7Config.exe ! I was a dummie and forgot to do that, that was the reason and as you have same problem.. you should check your FF7Config.. I'm pretty sure thats your problem!
