Ertoil,
In ff7_opengl.cfg
Make this change:
use_shaders = no

The solution I use is different but not as simple to explain.
Xion999's 'everything is made of light' fix for white and black graphics:
Copy and replace the files .\shaders\main.frag and .\shaders\main.vert into .\shaders\nolight\
Possibly my imagination, but the visuals are better that way.

Hey guys. i'm having the same issue Ertoil did, but with FF7. Now the fix that pitbrat mentioned works, but then the avatars don't change when I replace them in the mods/menu folder. Any ideas?

Tried that and it didn't work. It also made the font in the game scrambled like.

Since when do we need the crash dump? Well. Turn off your shaders, and, if still not work, fancy transparency.

Just updated my video driver to 280.26 (newest WHQL), and I got a white screen when trying to play either FF8/FF7. I guess this problem with newer nvidia drivers is never going to be fixed.

Hi there!
New to this forum and tried installing FF7 following Kylos' extremely helpful guide. Running Windows XP virtualised in VirtualBox on my Macbook Pro. Initially, it didn't seem to work (crash on launch) with just the official install and the FF7 Remix compilation patch, however, when I updated it to the latest drivers from Aali, it worked! However, the only problem I'm having is that the models all appear to have a metallic blue look to them. I have tried rolling back to 0.7.5b and the same thing happens. Any help would be extremely appreciated! Thanks!
