i presume you have the patch that lets it run on windows XP, as u'll need it to play. as far as i know even with this patch it will crash at cosmo canyon :(

there is also a patch which MASSIVELY improves the graphics of the main characters, like into more detail than they have in battle. although from the screenshots they do look out of place with the NPC's :D

There's a patch that lets you use KH characters with FFVII

The character pictures in the menu look great. I didn't really think the regular character models were that impressive though, I would prefer the normal ones.

d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x, I have the improved graphics mod in the "neat compilation" thingy i mentioned, but as for the XP patch, if its not in there- I'm buggered lol.

Renmiri, nice patch, I am not a KH kinda guy, but that looks soo cool, especially with the AC sword!

And as for The Crystal and Xurts those vids were the reason I did this in the first place lol.

Does anyone think that with the Patch for the AC Avatars if they were replaced with other Pictures, would it work? Like putting my picture instead of clouds lol

There is the Windows XP patch, which fixes the Chocobo Race crash that Windows XP encounters.

The only solution I've been able to find to the Cosmo Canyon crash is to find a nice helpful person to move the game past the freeze point. I have helped nearly a dozen people on this forum get through that trouble, unfortunately, I am no longer able to do so. Some time ago, I had lost my Disc 1 of FFVII. Fortunately, I had a virtual disc backup, so it did not hamper my play or helping too much. Unfortunately, I lost that backup when my computer got infected by a virus (still working recovery, but unless I can get that Virtual Disc off without it being infected, I'm out of luck). I have been wanted to pick up a new copy on Amazon.com, but, since I am unaware why I was immune to that problem in the first place, I'm afraid that buying a new version will simply stick me with the crash that I have bypassed so many times. It's frustrating.

Does anyone know precisely what triggers the Cosmo Canyon crash? Is it related to the version of the game, the operating system, or what? I have (had) the Eidos Platinum Edition of the game, but am unsure if that relates in any way to my immunity to the glitch. If only we could isolate what causes it, we could bypass it for everyone...

In other news, does anyone know of any problems with running the computer version of FFVII on Windows Vista?

[Renmiri]

Yeah, your picture or any 3D file (3dsmax, blender) that is converted to the format would work. Trouble is to find a converter.

So, no known problems with FFVII in Vista?

thats the link to the converter i just uploaded.

in my case i got the pc version and the psp version of the game.
when it got to parts like cosmo canyon i just converted the file to the psp format, played it and converted back

Well, finally got a new copy of FFVII PC. It seems to run fine on Vista, although I have not yet played through the entire game or even reached the Chocobo Race or Cosmo Canyon crash points yet, so not sure if those are fine, or if I'll have to do some patch downloads and such.

I'm just about to start playing FFVII on my XP (via Boot Camp) again because I miss it so much. The old XP patch that I used before worked fine and it never crashed...

EDIT: I think this is the patch compilation that you have...
