Final Fantasy 7 strange crashes

Shaitan · January 15th, 2003, 00:47

I have no problem running the normal game (with original CD and also with ISO) but during full motions i have a lot of crashes and now at the full motion where you take the flyin railroad to gold saucer i crash every time and i cant go on with the game.
In every full motion in the game i see a lot of big green pixels blinking on the screen in blocks, movie goes like this for some seconds then crashes (see the attached immage)

This happens with both CD and ISO :eek: and with the same CD works fine on my friend PC
Drivers are the last version available

Hmm... that's odd. Maybe it's just his driver is better at reading than yours? Poor CD reading is the only good explaination I can come up with.
Try making the ISO image again with another piece of software, as the image may be corrupt.

Hang on, does the fact that Offscreen Drawing is set to 4 mean anything here? It causes garbage in other FF games.

FF7 needs it that hight for the battle swirls.

I'd have to agree with the cd issue. What brand is your cd drive? There are a few thast can't read psx disks correctly (including making iso's from them)
