Yes, yes, i downloaded these about minutes, all workes again but i don`t like then, too pixeled! I used the sharped ones.
 
@ Stan - Sound like the Everything Made of Light glitch.

There are files floating around somewhere to fix it, but you seem capable of editing a text file.  All the replacements do is this:

Obviously, that path begins in the root of your FF7 install.

Thanks alot! The problem is definetely fixed! But some of the lettering and stuff looks a bit rough, ( obviously) haha. Is there any possible way to make it look perfect for me or not? If anything,, i'm fine with my game just working fine.
Again, thanks a bunch

Hello Gentlemen
First off i'm brand new to any posting on forums etc,so if i have posted this in the wrong place it was not intensional  :|
um..Aali's link for his driver doesnt seem to be working, the backup ninjaloot one...and i cant seem to find another link to be able to get the driver and install it. I really would like to get rid of those annoying black boxes( if thats what they are called) when i play
Any help would be much appreciated :)
 
Server will be down for a couple of days due to a hardware failure, have patience. In the meantime I'm sure someone can send you the file (without mirroring it publicly, please).
 
Thankyou for your'e quick response :) i will check the link in a couple of days then
 
Can someone please send me an email link with the most recent working Aali's driver, would be greatly appreciated.  Haven't gotten to experience the mods yet so I'm hoping I get to try it out soon!  Been stuck playing it on playstation/psexe :(
 
Greetings! new member here

I was wondering if you could help me, I have no display on startup and no FMV is showing (but the audio is playing).

I can hear the sound of the menu when scrolling (NEW GAME & Continue) but the screen is just black.

I could run the game on Software Renderer, but I wish to try the mods that I applied using Bootleg, my built-in only supports OpenGL 1.4 i think,

Is there a way that I could run the game using the custom driver?

Bootleg doesn't support Intel video cards.
Some of the mods are incompatible with Intel cards.
The OpenGL driver is not working with your current video card configuration.
 
Thanks for the reply

went back to the 2012 version, i just used the UMI mod.
 
Also i tried today this OpenGl also the edit works fine but, when i go to FF7Config and choose on GRaphic tap Custom Drivers and choose it, works everything fine except, when i click afterwarts OK im getting an Bluescreen....

does anyone know why? maybe cuz of my PC specs?

well my Specs are


Intel(R) Core(TM) i5.2500 CPU @ 3,70 GHz (overclocked)
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6870
32 GB Kingston Memory
Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit


and  is my specs maybe too crazy for such stuff?


btw am using FF7 US vers. just as hint because mods normally works but when i click custom driver i get bluescreen lol
 
Hello, I have come across an issue related to Vsync. I've enabled Vsync in my graphics accelerator settings, but I get an error/errors like the following:

"GLITCH: Vsync seems to be forced ON, minigame framelimiter will not work"

The same also appears with the battle swirl, but that's really obvious and probably not worth mentioning.

My question is: how should I try to enable Vsync properly? I have an Intel graphic card (GM965), but it's not that ancient it wouldn't support Vsync, is it?

I see that no-one addressed your issue, Disable vsync from the graphics control panel, I do believe it is enabled by default in the driver.
 
Hi all. I've never exactly modded before but I want to mod FF7 cause the videos online look amazing. I have no idea how to extract the files from Aali's download though. If it makes a difference, I'm not running the old version of ff7. I just bought the re-release last night. Sorry if this question turns out to be stupid heh.

The only stupid questions are the ones not asked.

Watch this tutorial to setup your 2012 FF7 for modding:
 
TYVM! I never would have figured all of that out hah. I really appreciate the help.
 
hmm actually I'm not sure what the problem is. When i configured bootleg (last step in tutorial) i tried to open the game via bootleg and a screen pops up like it's about to start and then just closes. I set the disk to E (ff7disc1) so I'm not sure where I went wrong in that tutorial. Tried redoing it all but I can't figure it out. The same thing happened again. If anyone has any idea what it could be I'd appreciate the input.

Going into FF7Config and check your Sound tab. Make sure the Sound Driver is not left blank. If there are still issues, then post your APP.txt in this thread and explain your situation: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/8013/

Woow, I didn't notice this.  :P In any case, I have already tampered with those settings in the graphics control panel, but no desirable result.
I assume Vsync means basically the same as Asynchronic Flip, no? I have tried setting it on/off various times, but the driver always reports that Vsync is forced on....

I honestly don't see how any of the other settings would relate to Vsync, but there's always the chance I've done something wrong...?

With some Intel graphics chip the framelimiter is not working.
Also look at this Post.

i thought i would mention that I recently discovered windows 7 aero is incompatible with vsync unless u enable transparency

no idea if that issue affected ff7 or not, barely tested since redid my system. i had huge tearing issues even with vsync set to always on on my amd hd 6850, which enabling transparency in windows personalization>desktop color options fixed.

Alright, I'm convinced I can not get the framelimiter to work.  :o Thanks for the input anyway.
