Millenia, obesebear:
Complain to the author of whichever program created the .p file. If they don't know what to do to fix it they can contact me.
If you just want to fix the file, open it in a hex editor and change 4 bytes at offset 8 from 00 00 00 00 to 01 00 00 00.
That would be PCreator, so any complaints I have will fall on deaf ears.  I guess I could just load the individual p file into Kimera and save it... I'll edit this once I test it.
 
2. at a few scenes i get an onscreen error message, that the game couldnt READ wind.wav file. the scene, where barret meets his friend crashes, depending on how fast you kill the game, app.log file might become over 100mb size. removing the file wind.wav file didnt help (app.log stated, that it could open the file wind.wav). the only way to get past that scene was to use original ff7config.exe file. (i figured that all by myself too 8)).
having the same problem, but when I replaced the ff7config.exe file with the official patch ff7config.exe, it still froze. Or did you use the one that came with installation of the game / not the official patch ff7config.exe?

i use 1.02 ff7config.exe. don't forget to start and configure ff7config.exe before starting the game

edit: by the way - unmodified config.exe doesn't show error messages onscreen(at least i haven't seen any); unmodified config.exe runs the game only in 2 resolutions. so if you see error messages or your game resolution is different - your game will probably crash again

Could someone explain what I put after mod_path = in the cfg? I have a .png in the /mods folder that I want it to load but nothing I put after the "mod_path =" works.
 
another "cannot read wind.wav" freeze/crash at the scene where you and Cid are on the broken plane in the water.
 
Hi Aali, I'm getting crash with ff8 in disk 3, in pandora research when you going to talk with Dr. Odine you have to fight some enemies it randomly crashes, before entering the building or when you're fighting.

I tried the save slot fix (although I may have done it wrong  :P ) FF7 still crashes before the start menu, if someone wants to zip up their save folder for me to test with that'd be awesome. If not, I hope the fix comes out soon!  :-D Also, just wanted to say the driver is awesome Aali I have used previous versions, great work!

what file did you replace it with?
 
Why are you going through the trouble of replacing files when you can just go back to version 0.75b while you wait for the new version?
 
I apologize if this has been asked before, but I'm having trouble selecting the custom resolution that I want. I open the FF7_opengl.cfg with notepad and select my custom x & y resolutions, save and exit. I then run the game and it only runs at 640x480.

I'm trying to have the image go to 1920x1200, my max monitor resolution. I can understand if this particular resolution isn't possible. However, I can't seem to get any custom resolutions to work. Any help?

EDIT: I'm an idiot, I forgot to apply the 1.02 patch first. Anyways, I'm running into another issue now. The game crashes right after the Eidos & Squaresoft Logo's play. Right at startup. I'm not sure what the reason is, anyone experience that and able to fix it?

This has been stated countless times already in this very thread; fill up your save slots!
 
I apologize about that, I was going through the thread and hadn't come across the solution yet. So I just need to rename the same save file to insert in other slots? I.E. save00.ff7, save01.ff7, save02.ff7, etc?
 
Quick general question about this mod. Was OpenGL support always embedded in the code of the game? Or was this something completely added in with your modifications? I read the original post, but still seems slightly ambiguous on whether this was naturally supported.

that version doesn't have the same problem?
If so, where can I find it?
