Hi guys, I have another problem.
After a couple of battles in the "Ice Gate Mountain" I get this error:


know how to solve it?
Retrospect I can not go on.

Hi kanelakis

Not enough information!

What hardware features you have (including graphics card)?
What is in the app.log?
What are your settings (ff7_opengl.cfg)?
What mods you have installed?
Which Windows (32 or 64 bit, XP or Win7)?
How long have you been playing non stop?

Hi guys, I have another problem.
After a couple of battles in the "Ice Gate Mountain" I get this error:
know how to solve it?
Retrospect I can not go on.

I know what your problem is. It is your battle.lgp file. That file is not compatible with certain parts of the game. I have been having this issue allot. I will put mods into my battle.lgp, making it so the game crashes during certain battles in certain areas.

The best thing to do is to backup your current battle.lgp, then put it into a separate folder, and put a simpler, smaller battle.lgp file into your original battle folder. Go back to your saved game, get through the battles that you did crash the game in. Then get to the battle that did crash your game. What is this? The game did not crash? Nice! After this battle and a few more, replace the battle.lgp with your bigger, backed up battle.lgp that you have originally used.

Do this for every-time you hit a battle that crashes your game. Save your game into multiple saves. Save very often, so you can progress father without having to go back far when your game crashes.

Use my trick as well for the char.lgp. I have had the game crash on me at certain parts of the game with my char.lgp file. Just like you would with your battle.lgp file, back up and put into a separate folder your current char.lgp. Then temporarily replace it with a smaller, simpler char.lgp.

I hope this is a quick fix for you and others. It works for me all the time.

## USER OPTIONS ##
## If you just want to play the game, these are the only options you'll want to change.

# set the window size (or fullscreen resolution) of FF7
# 0 means use original resolution (whatever ff7.exe provides)
# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratio

window_size_y = 960
#internal_size_x = 3840
#internal_size_y = 2160

#widescreen_hack = yes

# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
# does not affect the old external textures feature, those should still go in textures/
mod_path = bootleg

# check your driver settings if this option doesn't seem to work
enable_vsync = yes
refresh_rate = 60

# limit snowboard, coaster and highway minigames to refresh rate / 2, i.e. 30fps for a 60hz display mode
# vsync must be enabled and working for this to have any effect
minigame_framelimiter = on

# same thing, but for the battle swirl
battleswirl_framelimiter = off

# allow FF7 to use linear filtering for its textures
# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail
linear_filter = off

# plugin used to play music, the FF7Music plugin MUST be enabled for FF7Music to work.
# If no music plugin is loaded the game will play MIDI as usual but FF7Music will NOT work.
music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp



## ENHANCEMENTS ##
## All the little extras that weren't part of the original game, default options include only trivial bug fixes.

# make all dialog boxes transparent, same effect as the transparent dialog boxes YAMP patch
transparent_dialogs = on

# allow max hp/mp to go over 9999, same effect as the YAMP patch by dziugo
break_9999limit = no
#new_hp_limit = yes
#new_mp_limit = yes

# include armor in magic defense calculation
mdef_fix = yes

# expand battle viewport to cover entire screen and make the battle menu transparent

enable_postprocessing = no
post_source = shaders/SmartBloom.post
yuv_source = shaders/yuv.frag
frag_source = shaders/main.frag

## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.

# use shaders, if available and supported
# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backend
use_shaders = yes
#enable_lighting = yes
#show_light_rays = yes

# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect
fancy_transparency = on

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = no
skip_frames = no

# display some real-time debug information
show_stats = no

# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = no

# use pixel buffer objects to speed up texture loading
# will probably crash horribly on ATI cards but should work for NVIDIA users
use_pbo = yes
use_vbo = no

# replace FF7's default framelimiter timer source

# use a more stable (but less accurate) timer to control FF7's framelimiter
# this option has no effect unless the use_new_timer option is on
use_stable_timer = yes

# plugin used to play movies, FFMpeg is the only choice for now
movie_plugin = plugins/ffmpeg_movies.fgp



## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.

# read files directly instead of using LGP archives
# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd first,
# if this file doesn't exist it will look for the original in the LGP archive
direct_mode = off

# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = no

# Disable Error Notifications
disable_popup = on

# Load Multiple DLLs
load_library = Multi.dll

I tried to do as you say, but I am always forced to leave the game and come back and a ball.
I also tried to do a different test, while I was in the game kept open folders with back up files Battle.lgp, and the end of each battle I replaced them, but it did not work the same.
Now that you try again holds only a battle then crash.

Really? That is very odd. Hmmm. Hopefully someone smarter than me can help you. Maybe you are missing a file in your battle folder. Try playing a brand new game without saving with the simpler, smaller sized battle.lgp and let me know if it crashes the game. This is something else.

Yes,I've done this test with the original game without Bootling, and the problem was not there.

start your bootleg configurator, go to 'installation' and copy your 'pitbrat code' and post it
because this could be any number of problems

@kanelakis, were you able to fix the game with my suggestions from our Private Message Sessions?

@kanelakis, were you able to fix the game with my suggestions from our Private Message Sessions?

For the time being, but I want to hear the opinion of an expert to make sure that I do not happen again.

[ajthedj747]

I guess I am not an expert, just another guy. Oh well.

I think he wants someone like @PitBrat to help him.

@kanelakis, if you do not get help soon, I will send some PMs to the other experts for you and lobby for them to read these posts of yours.

Hi kanelakis

What you did for ajthedj747 advised?

At the moment I find not very much.

You could start FF7.exe directly without FF7Music.
Then you have no music, but the game should work.
If the game still crashes, at least we know that it is not at FF7Music.

Ok,by the time I got over that level, if I happen later I'll do that test.
