[FF7-Ultima Edition PC] Won't Start
« on: 2013-05-31 13:03:10 »
Hello everyone, I am having an issue starting the game.. I am using Bootcamp Windows 8 Pro and for some reason when I press the icon to start the game, it just flashes black then crashes.. I had no problem playing this for the past two days, but after I updated my Bootcamp 4 to Bootcamp 5, it won't work.. Can someone please help?

We do not provide support for pirated copies. If you can prove that you own the game, we'll remove that shiny new avatar and you'll be able to receive support again. For physical discs, you can take a photo (just make sure your username is in the shot somewhere also, like a piece of paper). You can also buy the 2012 release if you'd like, and post your Square-Enix username here for verification.

As an aside, just owning a legal copy will not entitle you to support for an illegal copy; legalities aside, pirated versions of the game are notorious for having all sorts of problems (added by sloppy cracks or unnecessary baked-in mods) that make them unfeasible to provide any support for at all. Even copies labeled as "clean" often aren't.

I purchased my online copy, just now! Lol, at the icon. FF7 for $12 was a good deal! :)

Also, I am sorry for using an illegal copy of the game. My friend let me borrow a copy which was burned on a cd to play on my computer, I did not know it was illegal.

You might be the first member I've ever seen actually pay for the game and get their pirate avatar removed. Usually they either disappear silently or throw fits and get themselves banned. Congrats!

This thread seems to have run its course, so I'm gonna go ahead and close it.
