It's delayed, but it won't be long. No point asking me when as even I don't know.  All I know is it is pretty very soon.

It will be released in < 24 hour.  NFITC1 is trying to solve a few issues with the 60fps mod... but I guess those fixes will have to wait for R05d.

They will be added to the The Reunion Database, like all errors :)

Edit.

We are delayed again.  But only because of testing. I am testing a load of different scenarios. Won't be too long now.

The Reunion (R05c)

Download link is on the first post.

The Reunion's additional and numerous fixes will only install if the Main option is ticked.

The best way to use The Reunion (so that you can reinstall) is to install all non-conflicting mods FIRST, starting with clean files. From there, place the correct files (noted in the help file) into a new folder "Backup-Reunion", inside the game root. Each time The Reunion is installed, it will then use those files. If you aren't using any other mods, or your installed mods do not conflict with The Reunion, you may ignore this advice.

LATEST CHANGES (R05c)26-Nov-2016Due to The Reunion becoming so complex, I have been forced to make a concise list of bugsand changes, called The Reunion Database. Nearly every change is logged there. The followingchanges are the highlights of R05c:1. The installer allows certain mods to be installed separately.2. The 60fps Battles mod has been recoded and uses a different approach.3. Invisible models have been removed at the Temple of the Ancients (Model Overhaul only).4. Sephiroth model looks better at the Temple of the Ancients (Model fix by Grimmy).5. Invisible models at the Experts' Hall have been corrected (Model fix by Grimmy).6. At the end of the game, Holy now appears like it does in the PSX version.7. The World Map indicators (vehicle positions etc.) have been corrected.8. Battle intro's eye-opener is fixed to look more like the PSX version.9. The Coaster mini-game was still operating at 30fps on the Steam version. Fixed.10. 'Incorrect places' option will also change Midhir to Mideel, and Nibl to Nibel.This is the last compromise on naming that I will make.
I would very much appreciate it if people helped me seed and test the current download :)

Full download mirrors are also appreciated. But give time for any critical bugs to be detected.

"3. Invisible models have been removed at the Temple of the Ancients (Model Overhaul only)."
What exactly does that mean? What models were removed specifically? Do the character models revert to their "lego" models now or is that something else entirely?

Also, am I supposed to install Anxious Heart before or AFTER Reunion?

Good job on new release though :)
 
Just means you won't see the characters in the foreground during the Ancient Pool scene.

AHhhhh  so much better with the proper World Map vehicle indicators. I should have looked into that years ago.

I am turning comp off for a while, so people who have downloaded - keep seeding!

Hello,

First I would like to thank everyone who has been working on this mod for years!! It's one of my favorite mods for FF7.

I was just wondering if it's possible to combine Menu Overhaul from R03e with the new version R05c?

I like the FFIX Style Menu and the new look on menus/font makes it's easier on the eyes.
I tried installing one after another and it didn't work, my installation order : FF7 Steam > FF7 Converter to Old Version > Anxious Heart > R03e ( Only Graphics Enabled for Menu Overhaul ) > R05c 
Also tried the 7thHeaven Reunion version *ff7_mo.exe*, it used to work with R05b, only didn't had FFIX Style Menu, but now it's crashing for me on the new version :(
 
DLPB, thank you for dedicating your time into this project. I've got a couple of things to say.

1) Why remove the 'Quit' menu? I know Alt + F4 does the job but this seems needless.

2) When I checked series canon option, Ether Turbo still showed up. Turbo Ether is canon.

3) Also, why did you remove the 'hold x in battle to attack' thing? I keep holding the x button and nothing happens, must click it now instead. It's not a big issue, but it was more convenient to just hold x for a quick attack.

4) Is R05c compatible with the latest 'Beacause + Menu Overhaul' mod?

That's not any kind of "canon". See The Reunion - Additional.rtf for changes.

Not sure I follow this..  R05c IS Beacause and Menu Overhaul.  Everything in this installer is compatible with itself.

What I mean is, the installer has some menu enhancement stuff but there is no FF9/FF10 style battle menu to choose from. That's why I'm wondering if I should download that separately from 7th Heaven.

It installed this kind of transparent blue battle menu.

But it doesn't have an option to install this one for some reason. I think R03e still had it.
 
The Menu Overhaul was part of The Reunion up to R03. After that, only the original menu graphics are supported.
 
I tested the 60 FPS mod a bit. The effects are drawn properly but I noticed some heavy drop downs in the FPS when the game has to load heavy magic effects (Kujata as example - disabling the PBO of Aalis driver seems to solve it for the most cases) and some effects does play too fast. As example the Hit effects (which does look better for me that way) and the flash of the all target indicator. However, that's not my biggest problem. The models still seems to flicker when the cam is moving and an animation is played. Maybe the 60 FPS animation does fix that. There is also a problem with an un-sync get damage and attack animation. Characters does get damage way before the attack has finished.
 
The stuttering issue is on the reunion database already. NFITC1 will likely look into it. The question of fps drop is unavoidable... If your comp can't handle it theres nothing to be done. :) Try full screen mode with vsync.  That's how the game is meant to be played - and will likely need far less resources.

On the faster numbers: That's deliberate.  I've made The Reunion use faster numbers and faster normal enemy death.

On Desync... it doesn't do it here. If you're using The Reunion on a clean install, I'm not sure what could cause it.

The target indicator is normal. That's the speed it's meant to flash at. Not the speed the original PC version had.

I noticed the desync only when the Scorpio boss does his tail attack.

The faster numbers aren't what I meant, the hit effects seems a bit faster animated to me.

As I said the fps drop could have been caused by the use of the pixel buffer. I first thought that 7H would have a bad impact on the perfomance but luckly it wasn't the source of it. So far is my advice to all who have problems with a sudden drop of the framerate to disable the pbo of Aali's driver.
 
Only leave bug reports here when not using 7H. Try a clean install (clean files placed into the backup folder - or delete backup folder and make sure all original files are in correct area) and let me know the issues that remain :)  Have you already done this?

I will check Scorpion tail now.

Edit. You're right.  The numbers appear before the action with this move.  How bizarre.  Still, NFITC1 fixed this issue globally at one point, so it shouldn't stay a problem.

I did want to get hotfix 1 released soon, but it will have to wait a few days. Need to backup files and reinstall Windows. Some huge issue with driver(s) is causing repeated bsod. Can't narrow it down (and my backup state mysteriously doesn't exist haha) and MS made it impossible really. Their tools and troubleshooting for this type of error may as well be a jpeg of the Joker from Batman. So... here I go.
