Hey there,

FF7 crashes with an unhandled exception as soon as I load the menu.  Here's the app.log:

Hi guys,

I've been having problems with playing the FMV's in FFVII.  Recently the game started saying "Cannot open FF7/date/movie/" then the filename of a movie file.

It's confusing because I don't use a no-CD crack or anything like that.  I'm currently re-installing the game to see if that will fix it.

Any ideas in case this reinstall doesn't work?
 
# use shaders, if available and supported
# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backend
use_shaders = no

This fixes the white/too bright screen for the newest nvidia drivers.
Maybe this helps with pinpointing the issue.

Excellent. I got the urge to do a run through FF7 again, and it figures the night after I installed the game nVidia put out their new drivers and broke it.
 
I've installed Aali's Custom Graphics Driver 0.7.8B, and i get the "Self Test Complete! You can now run the custom driver", but once i selected the custom driver in the Config and play the game, i get an error message and the in-game graphics bugger up.

There's a .RAR file with the Error Dialogue Box, an Image of the In-Game graphics and my APPLog. If there is any solution available, then please let me know, or if there is another thread i can go to, can you please redirect me there? I've looked through a few of the FAQ's but nothing seems to match my issue.

Many thanks,

Pony Slayer, MD.

Also, I've only JUST uploaded the .RAR onto MegaUpload. Apologies if it does not download straight away. I've heard it can take a while.
 
0.7.8b? This thread is for 0.7.10b... If you upgrade (even just to 0.7.9b) then we'll help you. Maybe some here know about 0.7.8b?
 
Oh, I'm sorry. I must've misread the forum title *fail*

I'll try using the updated version.
 
Try 0.7.10b and if it still glitch, use 0.7.9b, because there'll be less glitches IIRC.
 
I've installed the 0.7.9B and it has taken away the glitchy screens in-game. But i still get the error box when i run it (The "No useful indirect path found, check APP.LOG for information") and on the start screen, with New Game/Continue, i get a brief message that says "ERROR: init_indirect failed, scaling and postprocessiong will be disabled". It doesn't affect my game at all, or for the time being it doesn't anyway. Finally, with random battles, instead of the screen doing that funky fading transition thing it does, it flashes white with another message reading "ERROR: GL_INVALID_VALUE". Once again, it's not much of a problem to me. I'm just curious if I'm the only person getting this or not.

I'm sorry for the constant posting about these (most likely) simple things, but I'm a complete n00b when it comes to PC game files/mods and such.

[
Red means that you need to modify that
Green means that I recommand you to do so
]
 
I've changed both the red and the green highlighted notes and it has done nothing. I'm still getting all the error messages.

Just a shot in the dark here, could it be that I'm using an Intel integrated graphics driver and not a store bought graphics card?

Do what you want, I've got no problem with that (the last line is useless...)
 
Thanks for that. It's fixed all graphical errors....but now I've got no sound. But could that be because i haven't installed FF7Music yet?
 
Brilliant. Thank you so so so much for the help. I'm sorry if i was being a pest with the constant problems.
