Sticky: We do NOT support downloaded copies of games!

"Help me with my bugged downloaded version" threads are becoming too popular nowadays...

Unless you've gotten a real copy of the game since you posted this, you'll have to find some other way to deal with it.

Cloud_rulz · « **Reply #3 on:** 2005-08-01 00:42:35 »

This is the original, apperently on my other post i sort of said it wrong. This is not a downloaded version, this is from the cd's of ff7. i have the game set up where you dont have to put the discs in, and for some reason it freezes up in the laboratory, most likely it happens cause i have windows xp, and as i see in most threads, ff7 is mostly bugged on xp...

Well if you would find it in your heart to get me to the other save point past that scene, it would be much appreciated. It looks like there isnt any more bugs or glitches after the cosmo canyon, so plz just help a poor ff7 freak out...once again [email protected] on after 1p.m E.T cause of school and you could just I.M me and i would send you my save file. The file is from the original version of ff7 so it should work.

wonder why my hotmail not workin

I am starting to think its the FMV thats causing my crash, if anyone cant get me past that save point, is it possible to share your DirectShow file? Dont know if its illegal or not but if it isnt, plz share it cause i do not have my installion C.D. Maybe reinstalling DirectShow might help.

MOD EDIT: Elentor is right, double-posting is bad.

Elentor · « **Reply #6 on:** 2005-08-02 02:04:50 »

Cloud_rulz: Don't double post, it's against the forum rules.

And how did you manage to just install FF7, yet do not have your Installation CD?

i have the game set up where you dont have to put the discs in

If you have the Ultima Edition, or some other downloaded/cracked/pirated copy, please don't ask for help with it.

Erm, I think a no-CD patch counts as "cracked." And who knows what it really is, since you've already mentioned that you downloaded it... It'd be wierd if you got the real version installed without the installation CD.

Well i don't know about the thread starter but i bought my copy of ffvii and have the same glitch. In the observatory in Cosmo Canyon right after the shooting star/meteor/black hole scene my game juss freezes. The music plays, aeris still blinks her eyes but their is no dialogue boxes from Bugen. HELP! Supreme ffvii addict here.

I'm running the 1.02 patch, hi-res cloud, reunion patch, chocobo patch, high resolution ffvii patch: On windows xp. All help is GREATLY appreciated! i'm stuck.

Thanks guys.

dziugo · « **Reply #10 on:** 2005-08-02 14:44:55 »

Well...

You can upload your save-game on some server and post it here, so someone would "Watch it for you" (you can send it to me btw, see profile details for e-mail). That problem is well know, but there is no always-working solution. Search this forum for "cosmo canyon crash" (+eidos) if you want to know more.

final slash · « **Reply #11 on:** 2005-08-02 14:50:27 »

I will send it to you dziugo. My stats are amazing. Before i got to junon i had every character except yuffie, cait sith (how the hell do you pronounce that anyway) vincent and cid on their level 3 limits. LoL. This cosmo canyon glitch is pretty annoying. Hey i'll send my save to you now. Thanks alot man. My email is [email protected]

[edit] Check your email dziugo. Should be there soon. I appreciate your help. Thanks!

dziugo · « **Reply #12 on:** 2005-08-02 15:06:44 »

Heh...

I got it... but there is no attachment

Are you sure you've send me your save-game?

Edit:
OK, now you can check your mail.

final slash · « **Reply #13 on:** 2005-08-02 15:10:14 »

[edit] Check your email again. Should be fine now.

Cloud_rulz · « **Reply #14 on:** 2005-08-02 21:26:58 »

OMG DUDE YOU F***ING ROCK, if i was there in person i give you a hug...a big one, thx man. and thx for the color theme compliment lol, now the only problem i need to fix is being able to watch FMV's lol. ONCE AGAIN THX MAN

James Pond · « **Reply #17 on:** 2005-08-02 23:22:30 »

I still dont understand how you managed to install the game without your "missing discs".

Care to elaborate for the more confused of us? Well.. me an Elentor.

Cloud_rulz · « **Reply #18 on:** 2005-08-03 02:02:13 »

lol, well the game is was installed when i had the c.d's, so if you look at other threads, they might explain to you how to be able to use the game "without" putting the c.d's in, well my cousin did it for me, i didnt do anything, and if it would be a different kind of game, i dont think Dziugo would have gotten me past the cosmo part, btw DZIUGO YOU ROCK MAN

lol

Cloud_rulz · « **Reply #19 on:** 2005-08-03 02:10:21 »

Only thing i need is on how am i able to watch the FMV's. The upside down patch doesnt work, which i believe is the ff7betap.exe file. when i install it says its not able to run on MS-DOS or something like that. I do not know but i need tips on direct x and how should i use it. I dled the one that is directx 9.0 but it wont work. To make my fmv's available on the movie folder, do i have to put direct x on that folder, or on the ff7 folder? i know i sound confusing but if anyone can do anything, plz help.

Relf · « **Reply #20 on:** 2005-08-03 03:28:55 »

I dont think i have the Duck True Motion Filter, if you could send me the link to get it i will give it a try, or email me the file, and i dont understand that link you gave me threesixty..lol.. i have all those files already and they do not fix my problem, maybe the Duck True Motion filter might help..

Relf · « **Reply #23 on:** 2005-08-04 01:12:25 »

This site I belive has a copy.
http://ssftribute.emuunlim.com/downloads.html

I also belive that Aauron has a copy of it hosted on his own site.

Cloud_rulz · « **Reply #24 on:** 2005-08-04 03:53:50 »

That Link you gave me is is not valid and Aaron's site has a lot of downloads and i dont know which one is it lol,
