If you make the modpath called none, the files/folders would have to go inside the mods folder then in a folder called none.
 
Hi Richie,

However on my laptop, there is a constant epileptic-warning flickering/flashing throughout the entire game (FMV's, Menus and main game) it is entirely unplayable

With older ATI graphics card drivers in combination with Aali's driver FF8 is sometimes back to almost 0 FPS.
 I do not think you can use the Catalyst 11:12 for your graphics chip.
 Instead, you can maybe use FF8 in windowed mode.
  (fullscreen = no)

Thanks Kompass, Windowed mode did not work, I did however get the legacy 10.2 Catalyst drivers which fixed the Problem, for anyone with similar issues using older ATI cards always use the legacy drivers, AMD apparently have given up on supporting them, and currently are providing less than standard drivers.
 
Turning sounds effects off (as in volume down to 0), is buggy.  Some of the effects still play, like the sound effect when you are on trains.
 
Greetings everyone. I finally came into a copy of the PC version, and I'd like to check out all the mods I've been missing out on all these years.

I just went through the starting steps, installed the game, installed the patch and then installed this patch

Unfortunately all of the movies (both the company logos in the beginning and the intro scene) are just a white screen. And the title screen looks like this, flashing this error:

If I wait past the intro scene the prerendered backgrounds are also stark white I can only see character models (without eyes, which are also all white, and creepy).

I am on Windows 7 Home 64-bit with an Nvidea  GeForce 8800 GTX. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
 
I saw you at Lifestream but I don't want to log in there again

Your issue is probably related to shaders.  Either use the alternate ones found in aalis driver download, or disable shaders in the ff7_opengl.cfg file.  Open it with notepad and make the changes.  I believe this issue is sorted with next driver release as well.

See if that helps.
 
That seems to have worked, thanks. (turning off the shaders, that is)

This happens even without Aalis driver?

Very likely, but then so does chocobo racing crash and that got fixed too :)  It is a bug nonetheless.
 
SFX volume control is crap, only way to have consistent SFX volume is to leave it at 100.

Also, the sounds that you are hearing when its at 0 is probably the .wav music.

Possibly..  summon sound also ignores the effect setting though, so does the battle swish.  (unless they are also wav?)
 
I turned off the global sound option in windows 7 and then enabled it for each programm except ffvii, that was the only way to turn of every sound in ffvii
 
Oh really? The latest one, on the last post (probably the only one you should be using) downloads just fine for me.
 
Greetings everyone,

I finnaly install FF7 on my pc and it works. I decide to upgrade the game with mods so I start with Aali's Custom Graphics. I do everything like in tutorial. Save games from save00.ff7 to save09.ff7, download ff7input coz i dont have this file, then I copy everything from ff7_opengl-0.7.11b to FF7 folder and when I open FF7Config there is no message about passing the test, and when I try to change Render to Custom Driver everything crash.

Here's the picture:

I dont know how to fix that problem. I hope you have any solution.

Os: Windows xp with sp2
AMG Athlon 2200+
1gb Ram
Radeon 9550 with the latest drivers.

Ps. Sorry for my english.

1 GB Ram? I think that's a bit less for so many programs at once. ???
 
I hope it's enough for Bootleg Full preset. I've already uninstall the game and start downloading require mods. I use Daniish's Tutorial so it should work's fine. Do you think my PC handle game with all of the mods?

It's not enough, and most likely will not handle these well.

As a matter of fact, I have 4GB of RAM and something that is WAY less than the Full preset makes my pc lags like hell, sometimes.
 
I'd say 1 GB is enough.  I have only 2 and loads of programs running (and kernel and page file forced into RAM).  Works just fine. This game was designed to run on much less.
 
Ok Guys I change my mind and try Kylos tutorial ( https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/7514/ )
Everything was fine, but when I try to update Aali graphics driver I have the same crash like at first time (pictures in my first post) I can't change render to custom driver. Any suggestions?
