Hey, if there is anyone reading, I'm having a problem launching the game.

I installed 7th Heaven and several texture/model mods, and when I hit the launch game option from the mod manager, the game black-screens and gives an error message saying "Postprocessing Initialization Failed."

I tried turning off postprocessing under OpenGL config, but the game black-screens without any error message instead.

If anyone has any ideas about what the problem is, that would be great!

EDIT: Now after a minute of black-screen, the main menu pops up. I can select new game, but the game crashes after that. Maybe the movie data isn't right, and that is causing the crash?

Yes, your move path either isn't set correctly in the registry (run the game converter to have it set), or you've changed the movie path in Workshop -> Settings after you ran the game converter.

The movie path should be set and registered to the ...\data\movies folder.
 
I ran the converter again, reset the path to C:/Games/Final Fantasy VII/data/movies, and double checked to make sure the path was correct in the Workshop -> Settings menu, but there is still no developer intro - just about a minute passes, the main menu shows up, I can select new game, and it crashes again.


As far as the converter path goes, do I need to set it to C:/Games... or Windows8_OS(C:)/Games... ?
 
The GC should automatically recognize the install path of your movies folder. Are there any .avi files in your movies folder?
 
Yes actually, almost all of the files in the movies folder are .avi format.

To clarify - 105 files in the movies folder are .avi, while one called moviecam is .lgp.

EDIT: A couple more updates:

I tried running the converter and config again - but now launch game just does this: http://i.imgur.com/GBhgIJQ.png

APP.LOG doesn't show anything, and I might do a fresh install from Steam, and convert that afterwards.

I did a little more testing - still no movies, still a black screen starting up. Sometimes I can get to the new game/continue menu sometimes not.

I'll probably do a fresh re-install from steam tomorrow.

Is it possible that it could be a load order problem? I doubt it because they are all texture/model mods and one animation mod, but you never know.
