Random crash involving Cid's Hyper Jump

[Armorvil]

It's weird. Sometimes, when using Cid's limit Hyper Jump, just as his spear hits the ground and the flashy graphical effects appear, FF7.exe crashes with the "Oops, something very bad happened" message. And it doesn't happen 100% of the time.

I tried to look at the crash.dmp file myself, but when I open so big a file with a text viewer, the program eventually crashes. Not to mention the fact that I don't even know where to look...

So I desperately need Aali's or someone else's help. Here are my app.log and crash.dmp, compressed in a nice ~5 MB rar (I had no idea the compression would work so well - from 86.6 MB to 5 MB is really impressive) :

Any help in understanding what happens would be greatly appreciated !

And to those who can see something with just the app.log and don't want to download the compressed file, here it is :

It doesn't seem to be updated each time I launch the game, though (not sure if it should be).

And on a side note, I noticed this mention for the "casting" graphical effets : INFO: 24-bit PNG loaded (E:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\/textures/Limit/limit/jo_b03_00.png); this is slow, please convert to 32-bit. I'd love to make the PNGs faster to read, but have no idea how to convert a PNG from 24 to 32 bits. When I open it with a picture editor (Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, or Paint Tool Sai), the only bit-related infos I have state that the pngs have a 8 bits color-depth, not a 24 bits one. Could someone please enlighten me ?

EDIT:

Oops, I should have searched : looks like everyone has that problem. Links :

Oh well, I guess I'll have to refrain from using this limit against CMD: Grand Horn after all.

You're using an old version of the driver. This problem was fixed in version 0.7.10b.

Was it now? Thats interesting, the garden gnomes must have gotten into my computer.

There's a problem with hyper jump. I don't know what it is or how difficult it is to fix. This is the first I've heard of it.

With that said, you should really upgrade to 0.7.10b anyway since it fixes another pretty nasty bug.

I would, if I could In this page, I posted two screenshots of what happens to the background graphics when I use 0.7.10b ^^;

Anyways, thanks for your replies guys - and I'm happy that this thread wasn't completely useless, since you didn't know about this problem Aali.

 

[Aali]

Ah yeah, stupid ATI and their shoddy drivers.

I thought this was because of that random crashing in-battle that you fixed in 0.7.10b. I guess not.

Now that you mention it though, I do recall getting random crashes with Hyper Jump in previous playthroughs.
