Hello Everyone,


I think this is my first post here...known about the Qhimm forums forever, just cant remember if I've ever posted lol. Anyways, I've finally gotten through this entire thread looking for a specific answer but haven't found it.

I've got the 2012 release of the game, used the Kranmer mod to convert it, and installed the entire bootleg 0039. I initially had some issues getting the game to start, and after trying numerous options that I found here, I just did a full reinstall.

Now, I can get the game to start, but as soon as I press ANY button, the game crashes.  The error message is:

Oops! Something very bad happened.
Wrote crash.dump to FF7 install dir.
Please provide a copy of it along with APP.LOG when reporting this error.
Write emergency save to save/crash.ff7?

Here is my APP.LOG:

I feel like an idiot..not sure how to attach a file (crash.dump). Anyways, hoping someone can shed some light on why I'm crashing. Last but certainly not least, thanks to Pit and everyone else for putting this all together...there are people who make a ton of money to do what you guys are doing, presumably for free. Thanks again,

Shaun
 
Is anyone still following this thread?  8)


Still not having any luck. I've uninstalled/reinstalled probably half a dozen times now. Each time I run the BFE I get a few alerts through Security Essentials, and a few notepad files popup with errors, not sure if either of those are relevant. I understand the security alerts are safe and should be ignored.

Also, I tried using the old PC version of FF7 as well. Installed it, ran BFE, and I'm getting the exact same error and result. The game will open, but if I press any button it crashes and gives the "Oops.." message.  Both versions of the game (Original and 2012 release) run fine until I install the mods, so it's got to be something in there that is causing a conflict. I've got a Windows machine, 7 Pro x64, NVIDIA card and Intel CPU, if any of that makes a difference.

 If anyone is reading this thread still any input would be greatly appreciated!

Kman, it's really close to the next release. I think most are burnt on problem solving 0039. Here's to a perfect 0040 release  :)
 
EQ, thank you, and yes I can see how that would be the case. I'll stand by until 0040 is released, see if I have any luck with it. Thank you,

Shaun
 
Keep in mind that Intel video cards are not compatible with Bootleg.

I correct the base models conflict.
There are a lot of model choices in .040.
Cloud has 22 field models and 10 battle models!

I still need to fix all the presets.

Remix is still required for a few options.
I never found a working link to the OCRemix tracks.

Also, does anyone know what movies the Remix uses?
I believe most of them are Grimmy's.

Not much changed in the list . . .
But it took me 4 hours to fix the base models.

Are you going to start a new thread for beta testers?
 
PIT,

I have an Intel CPU, not an Intel video card. I'm using an NVIDIA card.

I realize that the newer bootleg is on it's way, but just in case this is an issue post 0040 release, and others are having the same issue, just wanna keep this out there.

If anyone is following, I've narrowed the issue down to the Menu Overhaul mod. I started with a fresh install on the 1998 FF7, installed the 1.02 patch, Aali's driver, FF7 Music, FMV Restoration, FacePalmer textures (testing playability after each mod install). All was fine up to this point. Next was the Menu Overhaul. I don't recall exactly which options I chose, but this caused the same crash and error I had been receiving.  After running the Menu Overhaul app again and choosing to Uninstall, I ran the game just fine. Reinstalled it, and it crashed.

So there is something that does not work with Menu Overhaul project and my particular system (which sucks because I'm playing at 1080p and the smoothness of the fonts and everything are gorgeous. Again, I have Windows 7 Pro x64, and NVIDIA graphics card and an Intel CPU, both version of FF7 PC (1998 and 2012) are crashing in the exact same way, with the exact same error.

I thought i gave you working links?  ??? If not dunno what the heck is going on in my head nowadays really really sorry  :-[ here's direct links:

If there's something wrong do let me know i can reupload within hours and as i still have the files in my pc.
Edit:
Ohh so part 5 link even though i rar'd them all the part 5 since there's only 3 mp3 files it views them on the main screen individually O.o you have to download it will come along with .rar just press Ctrl+S O.o...weird, anyway i can fix it to view as normal as the other links?

DTard,
The world and minigame models are installed based on the field and battle model selection.

e1sunz,
Thanks oodles!  That's one more piece of the Remix that I can lump.
EDIT:
Could you fix part 5?  Part 5 is not the final part of the archive.  Winrar generates an error when it reaches part 5.  It's a standalone archive.

Does anyone know the source of the Remix videos?  Quite a few of Grimmy's videos are included.  I'd like to make sure there's an alternate download for all of the videos before I completely remove Remix from the mods list.

So now the mods list will only require the Remix (by turning it red) if the user selects the original APZ Cloud model or the Remix videos.
Is it absurd to create another archive containing only the videos from the Remix?
I first need to know whose videos they are so that I can ask permission.

Hi there everyone :)

First and foremost, I just stumbled across this project and I honestly think it is amazing. Thank you all for the hard work that you have put into it.

I've skimmed about 15 pages (a bit of the first few and a bit of the last few pages) and I was wondering if with the update to Bootleg 0.40 if we would need to re-download the torrent pack (20GB) in the first post? Also does Bootleg work with the original PC game only or also with the new remake released in August (I think it was August)?

I'm at Uni right now so I'm trying my best not to play this until finals are over lol, but I want to get all the files ready while I'm at the Uni with unlimited bandwidth :D

Just to also confirm all that I need for the mod to work is:
-The original PC game patched to 1.02 (not sure if the remake is supported too)
-Bootleg mod (exe)
-The mod pack (torrent)

Thanks all,

Cheers
 
The upcoming Bootleg .040 has nearly the same mod requirements as the last version.
The mod pack torrent contains almost everything you need for a complete install.
There are a few changes and additions.

The big ones include:


Omzy's FF7 Field Pack.zip                       Omzy            FacePalmer Version 2.0 with Updates     Qhimm FILE


Nightmare Files 1.rar                           Tenko Kuugen    Nightmare Overhaul Game Files           Qhimm FILE


Nightmare flevel slim.rar                       Tenko Kuugen    Nightmare Overhaul Flevel               Qhimm FILE

Nightmare OST.part3.rar                         Tenko Kuugen    Nightmare Overhaul Soundtrack           Qhimm FILE



You can find a comprehensive list of mods here:

@PitBrat, no, I was just wondering if for the release of Bootleg .40 if you were going to have a thread for the beta testers to apply or test out the changes, or if you were going to just release the while thing and fix it as it goes?

So Omzy's Field Pack is basically the V3 of Facepalmer, right?  Also, will it be added to a torrent any time soon?  My internet connection is fast but isn't very stable and always cuts out before finishing even with high speeds.
 
Hey guys, I have tried troubleshooting with VGR and PitBrat in the BratChat, havn't really gotten anywhere.  I have a 64 bit system, however when bootleg tries to run it reports a 32 bit system found ( i found this strange ).  On top of that I have reinstalled many times in all different locations (even everything to an external drive) and I STILL get the "Access Denied" error.  The only case that I have not gotten this error is when I put BFE+Bootleg+All the mods in the same folder as the install in which case it goes up to Patching Kernel... (the first time I did it with everything in the same folder it went up to Preparing MAGIC.LGP...).  Regardless of these cases, I should be able to get past the access denied by running it simply with BFE+Bootleg+mods in a different folder.  (it may be possible that one of the many times I installed/uninstalled I left behind some files, this seems unlikely though)

I have antivirus turned off (MSE)
UAC is disabled (slider all the way down)
I am the admin on my comp (actually the only profile on it)
Everything is in a non-system folder (currently F:\Games, game and bootleg separate of course)

My Laptop is only a few months old, and I noticed that other people all posted about this, as far as I saw it was still open though. (JowHoof, ic6n, and a few others)

If there is any advice that anyone can offer it would be much appreciated.
