so very avoidable 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Hi, I've just installed final fantasy vii on my pc and everything went smoothly until i loaded up the game and the 'new game...continue' screen comes up, i choose 'new game' and then the screen just goes black, nothing happens at all. Any suggestions on what the problem is? Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted December 13, 2005 I am presuming that you are using XP. Patch the game with this: http://www.sofotex.com/Final-Fantasy-VII-XP-Patch-download_L5052.html in order to get it to run with XP. Share this post Link to post

ProtoArmor 0 Posted June 14, 2006 the FINAL FANTASY VII XP PATCH IS A SLIMY HACK found out why at the sites below. You really should use certain specific fan-made patches for the game. Even Eidos site links to one of the fan-made patches. There is even improved models for the game (!). Here is my Best-Quality Graphics and Sound Final Fantasy VII page: expertmult imedia.com/protoarmor/gamepage/finalfantasy-ff7bestquality.html And if that doesn't solve your problem, go to forums.qhimm.com that's where I learned all I know about fixing and improving Final Fantasy VII Good luck have fun, ProtoArmor Share this post Link to post
