System folders are any folders generated from a clean install of Windows.

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Steam\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\

The bold is always created from a clean install of Windows, so it's treated as a system folder.
 
Oh, I didn't know that. So making literally any folder in C: will fix it, so long as I reinstall steam there?
 
Okay, so reinstalling and following the steps more closely, along with the information I got from you guys made it run uh... differently. The menus still doesn't work, but it exists, and there are way less errors in the APP.log file.

Now what did I do wrong? This is starting to get a little frustrating.
 
Whenever I start the game, I get the options for new game and continue, but I can't select either of them and none of my keys do anything.
 
It's working now, thank you. Some of the keybindings are a bit weird, though I can change those. The game is running fine now, thank you for helping!
 
Hello,

first of all thank you this community is awesome. I saw ff7 on steam and like many, I bought it and I'm very pleased. Sadly, backscreens suck, they were really poor so I looked for a way to increase resolution and I found bootleg; I folllowed instruction carefully, didn't worked. I removed FF7, did it again.

FF7 does launch, I come to new game / load game screen.

If I do new game, game crashes after fullscreen black

If I load the game I started 2days ago ( copied save game) the game starts ! with all mods it looks wonderful. But if I enter a town or fight the same full black screen appears (with music) and game crashes. What can it come from ?  I'm Win7 64b with ff7steam

what might be the problem, if the 'write cfg' button doesn't do anything, and the settings dissappear after i close that window.
and also, what do i do, if the characters' field and battle models are white?

It's not finding your battle files. For whatever reason, they aren't installed correctly. I have no way of knowing what you installed or how you did it differently to end up with missing files. My only suggestion is to copy/paste your save folder somewhere safely, then redo the game installation and modding.

what might be the problem, if the 'write cfg' button doesn't do anything, and the settings dissappear after i close that window.
and also, what do i do, if the characters' field and battle models are white?

No idea, I've never heard of Write CFG not working. You can always manually edit the settings in ff7_opengl.cfg,

Can you post a screenshot of the white models? There is a section in the FAQ dealing with a couple white screen scenarios, but your situation sounds different.
 
i'll try again with the antivirus off, cause it told me that there are viruses a couple of times.
 
Music in game doesn't work (Sounds, such as the battle into's still work) and i have no idea how to save or skip the intro.  I have already tried downloading the patch for the laptop music but the link is down. Could u tell me how to save or skip cut scenes and also how to fix music ASAP?

you skip cutscenes with CTRL+S
 
Hello,

this is my first post and i'm happy that the registration finally worked!

So, first I want to thank all people, that are giving so much heart in such
an amazing project! That gives a new FFVII experience ;)

Sorry for my english, since its not my motherlanguage.

I'm playing the steam version of the game.

I have some problems with the mods, hope someone here can help me out:


1) Virus Problem:
As i went through the installation process described in the start post, my antivirus made alert:
Avalanche GUI v2.0.8.exe --> TR/Offend.2.2262' [trojan]
FF7 BarCorrectionPatch.exe -->  'TR/Offend.2.2262' [trojan]

So i had to disable the antivirus program.

And when i wanted to start the game, the following files made problems:
[...]\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\Multi.dll' -->  'TR/ATRAPS.Gen' [trojan]
[...]\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\FF7 Load Saved Games By Kranmer.exe --> 'TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen5' [trojan]

I don't want to say, that the files are a trojan, thats just what antivirus gave me. Why is that?
It's annoying when you want to start the game and it makes alert or you have to disable the program whenever
you want to play.


2) Language problem:

I got the mod working, but i saw, that my game is "denglish" :D it's confusing...
That means, texts in the normal environment are in german (i play the german version in steam^^)
but the texts in the menu are a mixture, most parts english and some german in the descriptions of materia.
In battle field --> english

Can you please tell me if there is a possibility to mod the game and play it completely in german?

In the bootleg i choosed the language german^^


3) Music bug

For the soundtrack options I choosed: Anxious Heart Original
When you send the character to sleep, the melody which normally comes up, isn't to hear.


Thanks!

Kobe
 
Oh thx, I don't think u can fix the music but do you know how to save?
Click to expand...
open the menu and press 'Save', maybe? either at save points or anywhere, if you enabled the 'save anywhere' mod.
 
ok mods installed but when i launch the game its a white screen ? i can sort of read New game and Continue but when the game starts its still just a white screen.
