****Sometimes/Workaround Possible Fix - FATAL ERROR***** AMD Users

[nazzarus]

If you are getting the fatal error crash at Sephiroth/Jenova reveal, after the ground crawl, skip the cutscene and you'll get past it.

Edit: save often, it seems this happens at different spots for different people.

glad that worked for you, didn't for me though

Doesn't fix anything. You're going to keep seeing that happen throughout the game on AMD until Square works with AMD on a new driver update.
"Intermittent system or application crash may be observed while playing FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH for long periods of time." Bug is listed on the new 25.1.1 AMD optional drivers.

And "long periods of time" means 30 minutes tops.

I got the same issue, but on NVIDIA 3050 card, and always crashes after Sephiroth Jenova cutscene.

BUT after many tries I found a temporary solution (until the drivers gets an update and fix the problem xd)

- Enter the game, put the graphic settings on LOW, everything on LOW.
- Play on windowed mode and 1280x720 resolution.
- Go into the scene and skipt it.


And it will load the next scene, at least for me!
So please give it a try if you are stuck

I get constant crashes at random places no matter what it just starts freezing. i haven't tried at 1280 and windowed, I really hope I don't have to do that. The game is already at lowest settings and looks like the PS3 game.

Reporting Back:

I didn't end up changing the resolution again, but moved my FFVII Rebirth install to my M.2 NvMe drive.

Immediate results; Game loads faster, textures are there, eliminating the need for them to pop-in, and I was able to successfully skip the cutscene that was causing the crash.

Going to run some additional tests, but that's tomorrows stuff.

Let me know if anyone wants to know if I find out anything more tomorrow!

tl;dr: Moved game to a faster SSD. Crashing stopped.
