Post your APP.log

I can't see your screen to see how you replaced "enabled_postprocessing = yes" but your wording sounds as if you replaced it incorrectly. It needs to be replaced with "enable_postprocessing = no". Did you also file -> save before closing?

You can do these same things in Bootloader by clicking on the Configure button. Under the Main tab, leave Postprocessing unchecked. Under the plugins tab, the Post-processing Shader section has a drop-down menu for all the different plugins. Try the Disabled option first. Make sure to click the Write CFG button in the top right before closing the Configuration window. If the game launches, then try going down the list of plugins until you find a stable shader that you're satisfied with.
 
this is the app.log?

# ff7_opengl-0.7.11b config file - modified by Bootleg


## USER OPTIONS ##
## If you just want to play the game, these are the only options you'll want to change.

# set the window size (or fullscreen resolution) of FF7
# 0 means use original resolution (whatever ff7.exe provides)
# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratio
window_size_x = 9280
window_size_y = 860
#internal_size_x = 3840
#internal_size_y = 2160
preserve_aspect = yes
fullscreen = no

#window_pos_x = -1
#window_pos_y = -1
#widescreen_hack = yes

# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
# does not affect the old external textures feature, those should still go in textures/
mod_path = bootleg

# check your driver settings if this option doesn't seem to work
enable_vsync = yes
refresh_rate = 60

# limit snowboard, coaster and highway minigames to refresh rate / 2, i.e. 30fps for a 60hz display mode
# vsync must be enabled and working for this to have any effect
minigame_framelimiter = on

# same thing, but for the battle swirl
battleswirl_framelimiter = on

# allow FF7 to use linear filtering for its textures
# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail
linear_filter = off

# plugin used to play music, the FF7Music plugin MUST be enabled for FF7Music to work.
# If no music plugin is loaded the game will play MIDI as usual but FF7Music will NOT work.
music_plugin = plugins/ff7music.fgp


## ENHANCEMENTS ##
## All the little extras that weren't part of the original game, default options include only trivial bug fixes.

# make all dialog boxes transparent, same effect as the transparent dialog boxes YAMP patch
transparent_dialogs = on

# allow max hp/mp to go over 9999, same effect as the YAMP patch by dziugo
break_9999limit = no
#new_hp_limit = yes
#new_mp_limit = yes

# include armor in magic defense calculation
mdef_fix = yes

# expand battle viewport to cover entire screen and make the battle menu transparent
new_battle_interface = on

# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
enable_postprocessing = no
post_source = shaders/Bloom2.post
yuv_source = shaders/yuv.frag
frag_source = shaders/main.frag
vert_source = shaders/main.vert


## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.

# use shaders, if available and supported
# turn shaders off to use the OpenGL 1.1 backend
use_shaders = yes
#enable_lighting = yes
#show_light_rays = yes
#show_normals = yes
#show_tbn_space = yes
#max_lights = 6

#Variable Functions#
#specular_fog = yes
#texture_scale_bias = 1
#texture_coordinate_clamp = yes
#pixel_texture_bits = 32
#generate_mipmap = yes
#detail_texture = yes
#shader_precision = yes
#tessellation_program5 = yes
#multisample_coverage = yes
#multisample_filter_hint = yes
#texture_filter_anisotropic = yes
#texture_edge_clamp = yes

# prevent glitches due to rounding errors by rendering in the nearest (larger, if supported)
# multiple of the original resolution and up/down-scaling
prevent_rounding_errors = yes

# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect
fancy_transparency = on

# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = no
skip_frames = no

# display some real-time debug information
show_stats = no

# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = no

# use pixel buffer objects to speed up texture loading
# will probably crash horribly on ATI cards but should work for NVIDIA users
use_pbo = yes
use_vbo = yes

# replace FF7's default framelimiter timer source
use_new_timer = yes

# use a more stable (but less accurate) timer to control FF7's framelimiter
# this option has no effect unless the use_new_timer option is on
use_stable_timer = yes

# plugin used to play movies, FFMpeg is the only choice for now
movie_plugin = plugins/ffmpeg_movies.fgp


## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.

# read files directly instead of using LGP archives
# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd first,
# if this file doesn't exist it will look for the original in the LGP archive
direct_mode = off

# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = no

# Disable Error Notifications
disable_popup = on

# Load Multiple DLLs
load_library = Multi.dll
 
Hi guys,

I've been trying multiple times to get the FFX overhaul working but nothing seems to help. I've installed all the combinations I can think of, just clicking the FFX overhaul, the style selector etc but to no avail and I've made sure to uncheck the break 9999 box as per the instructions. The Ctrl+F6 did do SOMETHING to the battle menu but certainly didn't do what it's meant to, now only one character's ATB/HP/Name is on the bar (luckily I have a save before I implemented it so I should be able to at least go back to the way it was before).

As always, thank you for any help you can provide. It's hard to imagine that there's still so much great work being put into this game by you modders :)

Hi cloud15,

your app.log looks as if UAC is still active.
Disable UAC or use my patch.

A resolution of 9280 in width is a bit much, I think ;D
"Refresh rate" checkbox you should omit. The game should decide how fast should be the monitor itself.
The "Auto Mount" feature works for me not good, the unit is registered slower than the game wants a disk. You can log in manually the disk previously.


@ PitBrat
...
# allow max hp/mp to go over 9999, same effect as the YAMP patch by dziugo
break_9999limit = no
#new_hp_limit = yes
#new_mp_limit = yes
...
Click to expand...
I do not want to nag, but "new_hp_limit" and "new_mp_limit" needs pure numbers, not yes or no (only if "break_9999limit = yes").
 
and... what is UAC for?  i dont undertand .... what should change, can you explain please?
 
UAC is built into windows and gives you trouble whenever you try to change or install something. Disable it by going to Control Panel->User Accounts and Safety->User Accounts->Change User Account Control Settings and then turn the slider all the way to the bottom.
 
Yes, that's the right thing. Try uninstalling and reinstalling with UAC disabled. Also, instead of double posting, edit your last post using the modify button.

;D I have had no problems with UAC, also not with other games  ;D

are you talking about this: ? http://sadpanda.us/images/1564727-GGWZKNF.jpg

Yes, and as I see you've even made ​​a step higher...
I strongly recommend to use my patch, then UAC should work properly again with FF7.

Perhaps only the "condor.lgp" was broken.
Somewhere the original file to a backup folder might be, you can then copy it back to the appropriate place.

Edit: Did you also change the resolution?

When you say "uninstalled and reinstalled," did you delete the old game folder before you reinstalled? The FF7 uninstaller doesn't get rid of the mods, so they remain there afterwards. If you then try to reinstall to that same location, problems can occur.
 
Hi again and thanks for your support ... read my previous comments please... since im spanish is a bit hard explain my problem .... the game worked good the 1st time i installed it (i checked it strayoff condor) ... after that with the problems with the FORT CONDOR, EQ2Alyza told me to uninstall and reinstall the game  ("unchecking strayoff condor") ... now dont work

I used your patch and dont work ... got same problem

I said some of that yes, but I was very specific with the directions. It wasn't just uninstall and reinstall. I've noticed the small details always missing in your responses, so I am wondering if the language barrier is preventing us from working this out. If anyone can speak good English and Spanish, help us out please  :)
 
Ok thanks for your help too miss EQ2Alyza :)  ... i gonna delete the old files and reinstall again at another direction

I took Spanish IV in high school lol ;D

Cloud15, ¿Ha eliminado la carpeta de instalación después de la desinstalación? Algunos archivos se deben eliminar manualmente.
