I have all that crap at low-level/turned off.

Dunno what else to do, suggestions?
 
I wish I knew man. I just went from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 with my new Dell Alienware X51 R2.  it's a challenge all on it's own. Thankfully I gots me 16 GB of ram, I7 quad core processor, Nvidia GTX 960 .   Can't beat that for a stock when the ratings are from 8.3 to 8.5.
 
Sorry if double posting is bad but I got it to work! I just re-ran the game convertor as an adminastrater and everything worked.

But I have other problems now. My numpad is acting as the arrow keys instead of the actual arrow keys... and there was no sound on the opening credits. Haven't started a new game yet...
 
You forgot how to do it?

Right click on the FF7 game converter and click run as administrator.

If you get the game to boot, let me know if you have the issues i'm having.
 
Oh non no no I just forgot about the admin thing. xD You forget certain things when moving to new stuff.
 
Gotcha.


Just played the first battle, I have no music and now that I look at it, the music folder is empty... how did that happen?

The game also won't recognize any inputs outside my numpad, I don't wanna play with the numpad...

Also, my battle UI strongly resembles Final Fantasy IX, I prefer the original look. What mod do I disable to restore the original UI while keeping the sleeker look of everything else like the main menu/dialogue boxes?

And which mod will give me higher quality battle models?

Chaos gives the best looking models while retaining the original view. Except there is no cartoonish view to it if you get the idea. Look in your music settings for VGMstream, install the sound stuff from the catalog.  Or, manually install the music stuff from the latest Anxious Heart mod.

Considering the sleek look, to quote a dude off of Family guy:  There was no way.
 
Changed music plugin to none, which got me music, but no sound effects lol.

I'm downloading the music mods now.

Any ideas about the keyboard?
 
Well when you ran the patch, did you press yes to fix the keypad stuff?
 
It said not to if you have a numpad, which I do. So no. Perhaps I will say yes and see what happens.

I'm just gonna leave it all alone for awhile, going away for 2 weeks on Saturday, so i'll get the game running when I get back.
 
Alrighty, i'll run some research and tests. See what I can come up with.
 
Want to play the game on my old laptop but open gl 0.8.1b drivers required OpenGL 2.0 GPU support (have only 1.4) is there a way to use older 0.7.11b drivers witch 7th Heaven or should i use Bootleg ?

It's best to keep the music plugin enabled. It reads from the [gamedir]\music\vgmstream folder, which is empty at the start. Downloading the Media - Music and Sound category will give you options that run music from the vgmstream folder. The format of those files need to be looping .ogg files, which can be found in the ...data\music_ogg folder. If you want the original game music, just move the files from the music_ogg folder into the vgmstream folder. I am going to have the Game Converter do this automatically for the next update, that way there is still original (albeit crappy) music that can be used if users don't want to download the music and sound category from the catalog.

You choose yes for the keyboard numpad patch only if you don't have a keyboard numpad, otherwise it keeps the default keys onto the numpad. You can then configure new key bindings once you start a New Game and go to the Config option in the ingame Menu. You can always choose Yes for the patch (just rerun the Game Converter and select Overwrite at the beginning), but that seems redundant to the ingame keybindings.

No, I'm sorry there isn't. We have to move forward with 0.8.1b. You can use Bootleg for now.
 
Thanks for the info. I just now manually rebinded. I will download the music and sound pack when I return from vacation in 2 weeks. I assume this includes sound effects? The core game has dreadful sound effects.


Also i've never played this game before on PC, grew up playing it on PS1, so one question...

How in the heck do you flee from battle with the keyboard? I didn't see it in the key binding list in the config menu.
 
When trying to download mods in 7th Heaven I'm now getting an error message saying something about failing to obtain a secure connection, has anyone had this problem before? I did a fresh install of everything and that hasn't helped

When you bind the keys from Page up to page down,  put one key to page up, then the other to page down. Hold them both down to flee. I think.
 
Well now... Trying to play this on my TV by hooking the HDMI to the GPU,  whenever I start it up, it runs the game normal but only sound from either my headphones or computer speakers.  But when I switch it to run from the TV, it messed it up and the game refuses to run, crashes on startup.
 
i am not sure which is the best option.
tifa bootleg or final heaven ?
is there much differences between them ?

PLEASE add to tutorial " run the converter as an administrator" it won't worked for me till do this
i am using win10 preview, maybe a win10 problem

Have you made sure that in control panel that your tv speakers have been selected by going to sound sound tab in it. Plus have you made sure in the FF7 config file that your sound card is selected in sound tab should be the name of your gpu.
