Hi there! First time posting. Love the site, breathed new life into one of my old favourites.
I've followed Kylos's guide and installed the most recent remix, as well as the most up to date Aali's driver.
I get a lot of GL_errors, but the game works! yay!
However, the whole PC freezes when a snake casts Cold Breath, or when Tifa uses her first level three limit break. Complete lock up.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could fix this or what might be causing it?
I've read a lot of the topics and faqs, but havent seen anything like this...



EDIT - Hope this helps   

Windows XP Home SP3
Intel Celeron CPU 2.8Ghz
2GB RAM
ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9100 IGP AGP

this is probably an issue with aali's driver, so this should have been posted in the help thread for it, but since your new I'll go ahead and tell you. Looks like you need to turn of texture compression in the config file that comes with the driver. Also if you want to disable those annoying error messages at the bottom of the screen just add "disable_popup = on" without quotes on a new line in the config file. Any further errors regarding this kind of thing should be posted here.

You conveniently left out the most important part of your app.log (the first 10 lines) but I assume you are trying to use a resolution which is not an even multiple of 640x480. Unfortunately your graphics card does not have the necessary features to support this. Change your resolution to say, 640x480 or 1280x960 (or 1280x1024) and those errors will go away. The crash is probably caused by the combination of texture compression and an ATI card so you probably want to turn that off for now.

yarLson: Please don't promote ignorance.

Wow! You're right Aali, looking at my post, i've managed to miss out the first bit of app.log. No idea how I managed that. Also, I am running in a non multiple resolution - it was 1024*768.

I will switch and see if that solves the issue.
Thanks for the support - I know you must be pretty busy!
