At the point of a nervous break down!!!!

[Anarky]

Hello.

I have for the past week been trawling through site after sight looking for a way to fix a bug that occurs at the snowboarding game in the icicle village.

I have the chocobo patch and a few other patches as were previously reccommended to me but nothing seems to have worked.

Does anyone have any advice they can offer?

And to make matters worse i have contracted a rather bad throat infection and FFVII is my favourite game so make a sick guy happy will you?  :weep:

Pretty pretty please with sugar, cherries and a big blob of whipped cream?

Bthe way here is my spec once again with a few improvements

Amd 64 bit processor. XP3200
1GB Gile DDRam
Rad 9600XT (I wanted a 9800xt but it was too expensive)
Soltek 64 motherboard
80GB ICE western dig
Windows XP Pro

I have installed the chocobo patch, the upside down movie patch and the 1.02 upgrade patch... is there anything else?

[Anarky]

Someone please help!

I know the is a solution for this crash somewhere!

Please!  :weep:

MY GOD!!! Just get a PSOne and a copy of FF7 at Gamestop or Babbages for around $60 USD and be done with it!
PSOne - $50 USD
FF7 - $5-10 USD

Mayhaps describe the bug?  is it a crash?  or does it slow down/speed up insanly?  if it crashes, does it do this at any particulair point?

and have you tried eidos's official tech faq page?  i cant garuntee the solution to your problem will be there, but ya never know till ya try.

I have tried the eidos website for fixes.

I just think the snowboarding mini game has a common crash and if there is a solution.

I am running the game in quarter screen and with it set on the nvidia setting si can't remember them of the top of my my head but i think it is on TNT. But i know that it is the prescribed way of running FFVII with radeon cards.

It is definelty a crash, as i have heard people talking about it before on other sites. I am not sure if it is a sound problem or something but it is very annoying. The mini game just opens as a white screen and then freezes, the music is playing in the background as normal and it looks fine.

Then all of a sudden my mouse pointer appears and i have to press enter to close down the game as that wonderful 'A crash has occurred bla bla bla send or don't send message come up.'

Any help.

I seem to remember some people had success running the minigame in quarter/full screen mode with software rendering enabled, then when the minigame is finished you can switch back to hardware rendering mode. Give it a go, see if it works.
