This crash is similar to the ChocoboCrash. It's caused by accessing memory which isn't available for the process to read. The main difference is: It's random if it crashes or not, since the pointer which causes crashing is calculated in real-time and it can be valid (if you're lucky
). Although it's possible to get this crash in every single mode (quarter/fullscreen, software/hardware) it's also possible to never encounter this crash. If you're using Win98, you're free to go. If you're using NT-based system, better cross your fingers.
If a software is written, it's supossed to be running the same (if possible) on every supported OS. If you leave the bugs in code just because it doesn't crash (Win98 rocks
) don't blame OS producer for handling the errors which weren't handled in earlier versions. I know that NT based systems aren't officialy supported by FF7, but if the code was written correctly, it would work flawlessly on those.
