Please Help, Battle Keeps Crashing

[craigstealsheep]

Hey all,

First, thank you all for putting this all together. I've been having a ton of fun playing FF7 up until this point. However, my battles have been crashing nonstop. On my save game I'm currently outside of Gongaga and have only encountered a problem when fighting Yuffie. Her battle sprite as "Mysterious Ninja" would lock up and would do nothing. I found the answer on this forum:

But after following the directions, every time I start a new battle, my game crashes. I'm hoping to fix this without having to completely reinstall, but if that's my only option so be it. Here's the App log on the crash. Looks like stage79.d isn't loading.

Did using Kranmer's tool do this? I've had no problems running it up until this point.

Thanks again! Let me know if there's anything else I need to provide. Here's my PC specs as well:

Windows 7 64bit Service Pack 1
Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU @2.20 GHZ
6 GB RAM

That's the battle background model (probably the forest one). Can you get into other fights around there or in other forests?

Just tried to enter a battle screen on the world map and it crashed again. Here's the new app log:

I just checked my data folder and I can't find any of these files...

OK the error your getting now is because your "battle.lgp" is corrupt, check your
FF7Folder/Data/Battle
and check to see if "battle.lgp" is in there and its size, If its 0bytes or just very small then its probably corrupted, or if the file is missing you probably either didn't rebuild the LGP using my tool or you did and UAC moved the LGP somewhere else, when using my tool you should always run as admin on Windows Vista/7/8 due to UAC, or just disable UAC or install the game to a non system path.

Also my tool should have made a backup just in case anything went wrong, check to see if "battle.lgp.bak" exists, you can rename this back to battle.lgp to undo any changes made by my tool.

Thanks Kranmer for your response. I've got the battle.lgp.bak at 510MB and the new one at 280MB. I went back to the original and that seemed to fix it. I'll post again if anything comes up, but for now I think this is solved.
