But the German Translation sometimes uses to much space. Like "Ausrüsten" in the Menu. It does not fit in the area. Is this normal?
I must confess that I have to adapt the window is not taken care of properly.
If you have integrated the menu overhaul, you can 'MO_ger_Patch.zip' integrate, therein be adjusted a few windows (but not all).

Otherwise, take a picture and send it to me via PM, I'll try to adapt it.
 
cloudkitt,

Yes, the BFE has a tab that lets you choose all the locations. The Temp folder location is in there as well.
Wow, I'm an idiot. I looked in File and Presets and totally forgot about the Installation tab. Thanks.
 
WOW....

I used to play with the rmix edition cause it was on my torrent site then yesterday i found out about the Bootleg ed, and damn what an improvement thanks modders for making me fall in love with FF7 AGAIN after 16 years
 
Hullo, I just recently installed bootleg+Tifa's package, but when I start up the game the eidos logo and chocobos run, then it freezes on the menu screen. I can't move the hand selector. Is there any way to fix this? (Haha I really want to play : x) Thanks for any help.

Details: 2012 pc version, followed eq2alyza's most recent yt tutorial (thanks!) downloaded extra mods, mildly bummed. Would it take as long as the first time if I reran bootleg with slight option changes again?

I'm having some trouble. I downloaded the torrent and set the preset settings to default. the installation went without a hitch, but when i try to load the game, i get a black screen and then a crash without an error message or anything. I've tried the various settings for graphics in the bootloader, even the safe one, and nothing happens. I'm using the 2012 re-release if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

Please post your APP.log file.

Open up FF7Config.exe and set a sound device in the Sound tab. If left blank, the game won't launch.
 
Thanks for taking the time to put together the guides, I might finally get around to playing this game.  Credit to the mod developers too.

Just a general issue; I've tried a few presets briefly just to test the differences, some that wouldn't start at all.  Yours does work well, my only concern being there's no checkbox for the "Aeris Revival" mod in the bootloader when I use your preset so I want to be sure I have it working before making any progress.  Only things I changed were removing the difficulty mod in bootleg setup and a few character models if that helps any.
 
I'll be sure to post my log tomorrow, as soon as someone let's me know where i can find it.  ::)

My problem is as follows, on every single attempt (apart from one) at installing the mods it fails at the same spot. I tried two versions of Win7 and one version of XP. After the Phoenix Rejuvenation Project mods are installed, it proceeds to Grimmy's PRP Addons, after 2 - 4 lines of '0 installed' it stops, and hangs there for an indefinite amount of time until I close it mid-process. Once, I don't remember how, I got to the end of the mod installation and it finished properly. But when I try to run it, no matter what iteration I choose (nightmare, remix or Gjoerulv) it force closes before even starting (ffVII has stopped working).

I am running a virtual machine from a Macbook Air, could that be the issue? Or, could it be that my pal CD (now ISO) was old and had scratches on it - could that corrupt the data on the ISO? The latter I mention only because I can't even run FFVII vanilla (with no mods installed via bootleg), the title screen comes up but I can't move the cursor (pointed hand) to select new game.

Update, no app.log but a bootleg.txt - is this what you are referring too?

Please post your APP.log file.
I opened it up, but it's blank. APP.LOG under C:\Users\Me\MyDocuments\Square Enix\FINAL FANTASY VII

Sorry :I

(I ran bootloader in safe mode once, and since then everytime I launch through bootloader my graphics go all wonky and huge and the problem of freezing on the menu screen (new game/continue) without being able to move it persists. FFVII runs fine through it's own shortcut, but only the avatar mods seem to be working then.)
 
The APP.log should be located in the game's main installation folder. Did you install the game in the My Documents folder? If so, please try a non-OS folder such as C:\Games\FF7.
 
I was hoping I would not have to make a post, but i'm not having any luck getting this thing to work.

I've been through the whole procedure as best I can. The mod list is all yellow and green, I run the mod installation and no errors came up. I have the two launch icons on the desktop. I open up bootloader and get the 'play' and 'configure' buttons.

When I click play, I get a unhandled exception error, where it says 'could not find file 'C:\program files (x86)\Square Enix\FINAL FANTAYS VII\ff7.exe

I know the program files folder was not the best place to install, but I made the installation before I decided to give the modding thing a go.

I imagine i've made a rather fundamental mistake, but I don't know how to rectify it.
 
As soon as I beat the motor bike boss and make my team and attempt to exit to the world map, the screen goes black and just freezes. No error messages or anything and I have to ctrl+alt+delete to get out of it.

Seems simple. Uninstal FFVII, move mods and reinstalled FFVII to c/games/ffVII and do it over. Shouldn't take more than five minutes?
 
Ah, so it is the install location that has done this?
I'm no expert, but if it is advised against in the install instructions (see OP) - then it must be for a reason. Could be permission troubles, or just Windows being a turd. Either way, why chance. Uninstall and reinstall, friend. It's a process of elimination, if it still doesn't work - then at least we know what it isn't  ;)
 
Good call. Now lets hope it doesn't take too long to download from the square servers this time.

You're running on Intel HD Graphics, so it's probably an issue with video RAM and modded world map textures. Does your computer/laptop have a dedicated video card?
 
I'm fairly sure it does. Intel HD Graphics 3000. What can I do to fix it?
 
I'm confused by your response. Are you saying your dedicated video card is the Intel HD Graphics 3000? If so, that runs off your CPU and is not a dedicated GPU.

If you're running a separate Nvidia GPU, you can go into the Nvidia Control Panel and assign FF7.exe to a profile. Then you select it to run off your dedicated GPU.
