Final Fantasy VII just Crashed =(.

[CLobo]

Hello,

I installed Final Fantasy VII(the real version), and ran the following patches: 1.02 Patch, NPC Recon, and Sephiroth Patch.

Now heres what happens. I'm at the part where Cloud(or should i say Sephiroth) has a flashback to when he went with Sephiroth(or should i say Cloud >.>) to the Mako Reactor, he goes to the place where it says JENOVA, and then we find out Hojo has been experimenting with people & mako, Cloud/Sephiroth goes crazy and starts slashing some of the pods, one breaks open to reveal a very disgusting creature. So i save my game, and then I'm at the part where i must find Cloud in the Shinra mansion. Now i go upstairs take a right turn, and southeast to that place with the spiral staircase, so i go down, and then to the stairs at the bottom, so once i go down the stairs, the screen goes black, and it takes me back to my desktop and tells me ff7.exe has stopped working. Note: IVe NEVER finished the game(or gotten past this part) so if a movie or something like that is supposed to happen, i wouldn't know, and dont want to be flamed for not ready stickies . i humbly apologize is this annoys anyone. 

I figured it must've been a problem with my field folder, so i got another one and patched it with the text patch, and it still crashed. I checked forums and didn't find anyone else with my problem, so can somebody help me with this issue?

System Specs: nVidea 8400 GT, Intel Duo 2.1 ghz, 2 Gbs of Memory, and Vista Home Premium 32 Bit

Thanks in Advance,
CLobo

I managed to solve the problem, the text patch is what was causing ff7.exe to crash.

Strange. There's no movie there. You just enter the basement (first the two purple cave screens, then the library).
Are you able to enter the purple cave screen, or does the game literally crash right after the spiral staircase.

Not sure what the problem is, but if you're entering the library, I'm rpetty sure there's an fmv there, so at least that gets us somewhere in terms of diagnosis.

And why are you saying Cloud/Sephiroth? It was Cloud.

Hello,

I fixed the problem myself(i updated my topic). The text patch seemed to be the problem. And i put Cloud/Sephiroth because i didnt want to confuse anybody, not everyone has the sephiroth patch afterall . And i was crashing right when Sephiroth left the stairs which leads to the undergrounnd purple cave, i was unable to enter. i think i mentioned that above(maybe I wasn't  specific enough  ).

Thank for your concern,
CLobo

P.S Whoever made the Sephiroth patch nice job! But something is wrong with the Text Patch .

Ahh, I missed the part where you said you have the Sephiroth patch.

[CLobo]

Hehe  .

Well for everyone experiencing this problem here is the solution, get a new flevel folder(can be found in field). For some reason the text patch at certain parts causes a crash. Now im gonna have to live with Cloud being named Sephiroth, and Sephiroth being named....Sephiroth XD.

Think of Cloud as Sephiroth's evil twin. lol
Feels like an episode of Days of Our Lives. XD

Lol, i was thinking that exact same thing! XD

Yeah its weird seeing Cloud as the evil one, especially when he stabbed Tifa, on the bright side I didnt get that Dragon error where Sephiroth always misses  .

i dont have the sephiroth patch, but mine crashes a little further inside the memories, right after cloud sees sephiroth reading a book. right after i leave the room cloud says (in present time) something about uhh... sephiroth never did bla bla. (cant remember) and when i press [OK] to skip to next message, it gives me the "ff7.exe has stopped working message"

Should i also get another flevel.lgp file for this?
