The rumors of my vacation have been greatly exaggerated.

I moved to a new city, had ISP problems and went to uni, in that order.

Glad to hear it wasn't a tragic house fire, or a freak tornado or something :-)

I just had my second crash today, I don't know if it's a driver thing or something else? It doesn't bother me much, thanks to the emergency save (that's a life saver since I'm at the end of the game where saving is not possible).

App.log and Crash.dmp is here:

You're seeing the same crash as Chrysalis had a while ago.. I thought it was just his garden gnomes being upset, but apparently there's a real issue here. See if you can find a pattern to this problem. Are you using Barret with slash-all by any chance?

(phew, thats the entire backlog of crash dumps :-))

Aali I did fine a 2nd problem with my pc as well, it was failing memtest86 so I toned down the ram timings, this and the hdd swap and now I am getting no crashes at all again, so I think my crash wasnt your driver.  If you disagree I take your word for it :) bot no crashes again now so am happy.

First of alll, thanks for taking a look! I didn't have Barret in my party, and as for a pattern, I didn't see one. Both my crashes happened after some battle in the Northern Crater. After loading the emergency save, I could finish the game without any problems. I don't know if it's relevant, but I did install a few mods: YAMP fix for framerate and transparent dialog boxes, and I also installed the NPC_Reconstruction_Project_for_FF7PC_0.6_mod. To sum it up, your driver worked great and I finally managed to finish this game without any glitches,except for the above mentioned two crashes at the end of the game.

I also have yamp frame rate limiter and transpert dialog box patches.
 
Cyb! Welcome! Where have YOU been?

Working on the OSMC 4? (Open Source Motor Controller) It's in yahoo groups.
Since I'm an engineer by job, training, and by blood (4th generation) it's something I do :D
Programming is something I do as well.

Aali your PC DLL is probably going to make those old programs (FF7 FF8 PC) go a lot longer.

I've gotten this driver to work and can get in game but the movies don't play. I can play them in WMP and have all the truemotion codecs and what not but they won't work in game. I have the correct movies folder set in the registry too. The APP.LOG told me this

add a \ at the end of the movie path chances are thats your issue, should be something like this "C:\program Files\Square Soft, inc.\Final Fantasy VII\Movies\" note the final slash, I forget to do that and get that issue EVERYtime haha

I'm probably alone in this, but I don't drink. At all.

Unless you count coffee.
 
:roll:

Open ff7_opengl.cfg in notepad, look at "# set the window size", and set it to this:

Code: [Select]
Code: 
window_size_x = 1440window_size_y = 900preserve_aspect = truefullscreen = true
