Ultimate Weapon crash in Mideel, when the fight begins.

[Kylos]

Hey there my father is currently trying to play FF7 on his laptop, i upgraded his Aali driver and fixed his FF7 as it suddenly stopped working for some reason.

Since then he has got up to Mideel, with Cid, what happens is that Cid and party will get into the 1st fight with Ultimate Weapon, they will load up, and just as the menu comes up the game completely freezes, sometimes it does not even say that an error report has been made.

I had the disable popup command in his opengl settings, i took that out, tried again, and i noticed on the next time going into the fight with the Weapon, it come up with a message saying something along the lines of:

Glitch: Vsync was forced OFF, battleswirl framelimiter may not work

He is using Windows 7 64 bit system with good processor and memory, also he is using ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200.

Please let me know if anything can be done, i tried to change the graphic cards settings, and im not having much luck, i know you guys here at Qhimm are so much smarter then i am, and can point out some simple fix im overlooking.

Thanks, peace

Do you have a crash.dmp? ATI cards have problems with the latest release but I haven't heard of that one yet so maybe its something else.

Thanks for replying so soon Aali, here is the app log from the last time i tried, it did not give the vsync error though this time, although it still crashes the same way

Thanks

[Aali]

Same old ATI problem. Turn off texture compression if you haven't done that already or wait for 0.7.11b.

[Kylos]

Aali your a genius! Simply the texture compression was causing it, thanks a lot man
