hi there I'm new here but I was wondering if I can get a Step by step guide on whant to do on a fresh install because i tried fomr my last install and all i got was a black screen :(

My laptop has a 256mb ATI 9800 and it can suport up to 1920x1200 but I'm at 1680x1050 and i need some help please :P
 
For some reason, your game is being played in 32 bit color.  Sounds like you're using the 32-bit color patch, and/or the "windowed" mode patch.  Disable these and try again.

A bit late (uni frosh week, sorry) but no I'm not using either... only patch I'm using is the Music patch and half of the battle model conversion (just for the world map, I don't like how it looks in the town/dungeon maps... not that it isn't a good idea)
 
Hello all, I have the 1.04 patch, but you stated that it works with the 1.02 patch, which I'm having trouble finding.  So if anyone knows where I could get the 1.02, that'd be great.  I tried it with the 1.04, and the game loads, but the resolution looks the same, and the background is black.  I can see all the characters, the menus look a bit weird, but I can force 4xAA.  Any help is greatly appreciated!  Thanks!
 
Thanks for the tip, I found that thread later tonight, so I have it all worked out now.  Hehe, sorry for such a noob question too  ;)

Thanks again!
 
please The Saint
can you to make a patch high resolution for final fantasy 7 french version ?
i can to give you .exe of game and ff7config of a french version.
thank you very much
 
hey Saint, could you do a 1024x768 fix resolution forcer for people that dont have monitors with 1280x900 support... ???? i have LG FLATRON F700B and my max resolution is 1280x800 i think, and i cant run the game with higher resolution. Please help if it isnt problem to do such a fix :/ my mail [email protected] becouse i am not often here.
 
Well, I've gotten my new, legal copy of FF7 all patched up, etc.  I've gotten Reunion and the patches working.  But the only problem is, I'm getting CRC32 errors with your Hi-Res because of Fidecula's music patch (or at least someone said that was what it was since I'm using an uncracked version of the .exe.)

Are there any plans to make Hi-Res compatible with the music patch?  'Cause that's the last thing holding back the game on my PC now.
 
Hey Phyltre, I have the music patch working fine on mine. I'll list what I did to get it to work (I've done it a couple times so it should be fine).
1) extract the FF7 1.02 patch (with the ff7.exe and FF7Config.exe) into the X:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII
2) use SaiNt's hi-res patch on the 1.02 patch (it should work fine)
3) use Ficedula's music (go into Cetra & apply music patch - make sure you're in the right FF7 directory
4) then i use the minigame patcher (very nice btw dziugo)
then it all works great
I'm not sur eif its because of your Reunion patch or something (i don't use it since i like the cutesy characters).
Hope this helps.

Here's the problem I'm having.  With the basic 1.02, I can play the game fine without any graphical problems.  When I apply only saint's hi-res, the game crashes before the opening screen unless I enable one of the nvidia card fix under ff7config.  When I do this, I get the green-grid problem (I researched this on the forums) so that I can't even tell if it's hi-res or not.

Now, when I apply the multi-patch (the geforce fix specifically), I can load the game without enabling either of the nvidia card fixes.   However, I'm back to step one--the hi-res doesn't work!  I'm left with 640x480!

I hope someone has some ideas, personally I'm just about lost.

Whoops, sorry. Thought that it was another "I see black screen instead of movies" problem. Umm... Did you enable Direct3D in ff7 config?
 
Yes with and withtouth.

edit : i found what the matter is.... reunion patch... well i will play with this low resolution :X
 
I don't want to push you... But it seems that all other Questions belonging to that topic are ingored by everyone :P

Will there be releases of this patch for other language versions of the game in the future, like german, french... and other, if they exist (...)

A simple 'Yes' (not tomorrow but I think sometime within the next ten years) or 'No' (hell, I don't have any reason to do that!) will be sufficiant =D

Thx

They are ignored (not replied) because you asked The SaiNt :P.
 
Teh, ok, that's a start  :D

I'll keep asking anyway... Even though my very own english version should arrive in a few days =D Yeah, you hear right, this opportunity to play it in... well... high detail mode (lol) is worth enough for me to by a english version of the game... stupid me =D

It's been answered before that's why I didn't bother to reply.
Anyway, the answer is "Not in the near future"

By the way, I was able to solve this problem (so far) by bumping every single option on my Radeon X800 XL to maximum quality.  It caused a small earthquake, but it worked.
