Crashes during Zanarkand trials

[MsHedgehog]

OK, the game has run just fine for me up until this point. It crashed once while fighting Isaaru in the Via Purifico but worked the second time.
Now however I seem to be stuck in Zanarkand. I'm in the already annoying tetris-ish room. I can finish 3 of the pedestal triggered puzzles at most. Moving the 4th pedestal crashes the game. Over and over. Either when the glyph above the pedestal appears or when the new "tetris" formation appears.
I've tried rebooting PC and making sure nothing non-essential is running at the same time but still I can't get past this annoying area.
Any suggestions?

Cheers,

some crashes can be avoided by giving the game access to more of your RAM. You can try out this, maybe it helps you:

Hi and thanks for your reply!
I tried that patch and it now crashed when I pushed in the first pedestal...

I can't believe the game will end here for me, just as it's about to get really good.

The crashing is only image, the sound keeps going. Is it my graphics card maybe?
I just don't get why in that particular spot...
:(

Just in case someone else finds themselves in the same situation- I fixed it. By lowering resolution to the lowest possible, just for that area, and by clicking Esc many times while the glyph/ new pattern appears.
Finally I got past it and now it runs just fine again on the regular resolution.
