Hi, i have trouble installing this mod. I download the file from the first page (several times), run the exe as admin but i've got this error :
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)."

I'm under windows 7 64 bits.

Any ideas ? Thanks.
 
I already had .net framework installed but I downloaded the last version (4.5) to be sure before executing the exe.

Edit :
I managed to made it work by changing mscoree.dll under C:\Windows\system32.

I played this exelent mod until Kalm with an half patched game. I didn't have any new encounter like Venus, Theio and the 3rd one as I read here.
Did i miss many battles ?

Did you patch flevel.lgp? What language are you playing and do you use other mods?
 
Will the mod work fine with the new patch to Final Fantasy VII, v 1.0.8.8? I assume it will seeing as it didn't change the game aside from the functionality of the saves (you can finally turn off cloud saves which should of been in from the beginning!). I would just like some conformation before I reapply the mod to my game. I'm not really in a rush to put it back on anyways as I'm still working on just a casual run of the game.
 
The new patch? Do you mean the Steam version? If you plan on installing either Bootleg or this mod alone, I suggest moving the contents of the game into another, non-system (and non-Steam) folder before applying the mod.
 
No, I mean the new patch that came out not long after the game had been released on Steam (which btw is identical to the Square Enix store version except it can be played without needing an active internet connection). I got the 2012 re release off the Square Enix store and just a few days ago it had a patch, V1.0.8.8. The last version was 1.0.7. I just want to make sure the mod still works with it and that it didn't somehow make it so it doesn't work.
 
You need to remove that "patch" and apply Aali's custom graphics driver instead. It is by far better.
 
I don't care about modding the graphics...this is the only mod I care about using and I just want to know if it works with the newest patch to the game. I like being able to shut off the stupid cloud saves.
 
Aali's custom graphic driver does not put new graphics. It is however a requirement for the mod to work properly.
 
No it's not...i played it fine when the PC version was on 1.0.7 and nothing else. Everything worked perfectly.
 
Having no experience with the re-release, I can only make guesses, and my guess is that it would be a good idea to use Aali's driver.
 
I'd have to guess, too. But I'd guess yes it works fine on the STEAM release without aalis driver. They moved the kernels to separate folders each for the 4 languages so you need to patch the right one, other than that I guess it would just depend on YAMP working. I heard it does but haven't tried it yet, you need to be able to patch the exe and add the mdef fix.

To be completely honest, I had no idea FF7 was released on steam (the only game I have played on steam is Civ5). I somewhat understand how steam works; updating the patch wouldn't be much of a problem if I get to know how the Steam ff is pt together..

If you are not patience, or don't want to wait for me to come with an update, you could create your own patch environment (which I believe is explained in the "info" part). Otherwise I would just like to say I'm very drunk right now and hardly know what I'm typing. Peace and love you people!
 
I gotta ask.  I went and followed Tifas Bootleg to install a buncha mods on the 2012 version using the Hardcore preset. I changed the game mode to your Mod in the bootloader. So now I gotta ask.  The enemies at the very beginning of the game, are they supposed to have 3-5x times the health?  Also the scorpian robot boss, is he supposed to have enough HP to withstand 20 Thunders and still be alive?  If not then I wonder if I somehow installed two difficulty mods at once.

Sounds normal.

While that indeed seems like it would make it harder, it wouldn't actually work (it would actually mess up encounters) or even make it harder. What you described is the normal behavior of this mod.
 
Ok, next question, does this mod make Vitality and Spirit completely useless?  Seems that way to me.

Also, did you mod do anything to Yuffies appearance rate? Im at friggen lv 24 now and have yet to get Yuffie to appear in the forests before Junon, and I remember clearly in the PS1 version I would normally find her after 6 to 9 battles. So far its been about 45 battles and still havent seen her.
