Make sure it is the menu project doing it.  Restore the old files (the files are saved in the Backup folder in the root or on game disc) and see if the game crashes immediately after the menu overhaul is added.

This will make sure nothing else has been added afterward.

I've done as you asked, and when I restore even just the ff7.exe from the backup folder, it no longer crashes.  I can see many of the changes the mod makes, but it doesn't look right of course because the .exe is not the one from the mod.  Then as soon as I switch back to the patched .exe the mod makes, it crashes again so it's definitely the .exe causing it, and as I stated before, it's just the vanilla English 1.02 .exe that I start with before the mod patches it.  If it makes any difference I'm using the following options:  retranslation project, original cannon names, american spelling, all status effects shown in menu, FFX theme, auto size action box, standard overhaul graphics, original style new world map graphic, felix's credits background, sense limit, gypt, save and phs anywhere, lucky cait, and lucky tifa.  I have not tried different combinations of these options to narrow down which one might be causing the crash specifically, but I could experiment with that.
 
It is weird that just a patched exe is doing that....  since it is doing it to no one else...  send me your patched ff7.exe in zip. Upload.
 
Your exe works fine here.  There must be another reason for it.  let me think.

edit:  I have no idea why your exe is crashing.  It works here fine... Are you sure you simply patched that exe once with the menu O.?
Send your crash dump to aali if so, see if he can shed some light...

I can't see any issue with it...  if it was my fault it *should* crash on both systems.  I look forward to seeing what the issue is...

edit:  See if the game works fine without FMV being loaded (rename sqlogo.avi and eidoslogo.avi).  Maybe it is crashing with the FMV?

Turning off DEP definitely solved the crash.  Having had a chance to play around with the mod for a while now, I must say I'm impressed with it.  I can only imagine all of the hard work that undoubtedly went into it, especially considering the different combinations of options available during installation.  I used to hate how you couldn't see your party's HP values whenever you had enough materia equipped to cause the command window to change to an increased width.  That problem is solved now along with many other enhancements.  Thanks for this mod, and for your hard work and putting all of this together.  I look forward to whatever enhancements future versions might bring as well.
 
yeah and sorry for my intitial attitude, I am afraid the same 100 nonsense bugt reports take their toll.  Then a genuine issue comes along...

I am still not sure why dep doesn't work for you but works for me when it is turned on....
 
hi again. i have 1 more question: where must i place all this files?? please, could u tell me the exact path for them?? im reading along the this forum but cant see anything related to this.

and about the spanish version i have. must i use the "1.03". works your mod with the spanish version??

thanks a lot for your work. i saw it on youtube and it is amazing. it is the main reason why im trying to re-play this awsome game :)
 
use exe in root
Replace window.bin
Replace graphics in mods/menu/

do u mean this?? inside the rar i downloaded i only see a lot of files, txt to open with notepad. do u mean this files inside mods/menu/ ??
but, what about to replace the .bin and use the .exe?? they arent inside the .rar and the link below doesnt work now.

what to do??
 
The menu overhaul automatically finds the correct install place and installs.  The mods/DK folder is used/
 
so it means i just place all the files inside mods/menu/ and play the game? no exe, no instalation... is it so easy?? i cant beleive it.
 
there is no a installer inside what i DL, only txt files. where can i get the .exe man?? i DL from 1st page of this forum, where the bigg red letters appear, but the link below doesnt work. where can i find the exe??
 
I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
    I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
    I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
    From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;a
    I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
    I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
    About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
    With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
 
i am building engeener, i speak 4 languages, i know mathematics, phisics and more ciencies, more of spanish history than you, and all the spanish kings too.

but if there isnt an exe file i cant do something. so please. is it so hard to tell where can i find the exe?? it is all what i need, an exe file who does all for me. easy, for dummies like me.

is it so hard??
 
yes yes, thanks a lot. tomorrow i will install it. thinhs arent hard when someone helps u, someone like u. thanks a lot.
 
Well that wasn't especially difficult if you read the first post.  In fact it is the first link.   I didn't have a clue what you meant.
