I just installed the patch...everything said it was ok, but some CRC thing said it failed. Either way, I tested the game out and it looked the same. Still ran, but looked the same. Is there something I'm supposed to activate first? Or is this CRC thing a bigger deal than I thought? Thanks for the hard work, and I know this is still beta. I'm just so excited!
[edit] whoops turns out it was because of my crack. That CRC32 error meant I had a cracked ff7.exe. I actually bought the game, but I noticed that whenever a movie played it would all of a sudden stop and take a little while for the drive to spin up again. Anyways, I'm off to try it again (with a successful CRC32). Any way we can play the game (even with a CD) with having movies on the hard drive too?
[edit] hey it turns out there is a registry edit that allows movies on the hard drive but still requires cd. pm me if youre curious. Anyways, I tried the patch out and everything runs perfectly! (after i repatched with ff7music) GREAT JOB SAINT! lol and its just at the beginning of summer so it looks like I'll have time to play this game all the way through the way it was meant to be played. great job for the beta. however it still looks a little different from the regular. I know you might not be able to change that, but some stuff looks a little weird (like the damage indicators on the enemy being really weirdly spaced. like 44 damage becomes 4 4. this is just a very tiny nitpick and if it never got fixed it really wouldnt make a difference. i'm just being anal) hope this post helps people who have similar problems.
